"I'm a little disappointed with the game, we weren't as good as we should have been but we got a point out of it and were resolute throughout the game, we showed a good attitude and a good work ethic, but as far as taking the game to them is concerned, especially in the second half, we were poor.The first half was better and we created some good opportunities."

"Andy Mangan tired towards the end, Bish tired which is why I took him off and we lost that cutting edge.We put too much pressure on ourselves by giving the ball away too much."

"Lincoln's goal was a cracking finish by Scott Kerr, but I think if we had scored the first goal and against a team that has lost five in five.If we could have got the first goal and see how they react to it.We had a great chance to do that but unfortunately, Bish missed the penalty.He doesn't mean to miss and Alan Marriott has a good record of saving penalties.It was disappointing to lose so much possession in the second half.We weren't careful enough with our passing in the second half."

"Andy Bishop is suffering with shin splints at the moment and they are not very pleasant, but he put in a good shift for us on Saturday and again on Tuesday night.We will manage him as best we can, we've spoken to the doctors and it's just a matter of time before it gets better."

"We are under no illusions; I'm honest enough to say that we were the better team in the first half and Lincoln probably shaded it in the second half.Obviously they hit the post with the free kick, but we've also had a couple of half decent chances, if they go in then the confidence builds from that.We are still confident, we are unbeaten in three."

"Steve Haslam put in a good shift for us and you know what you're going to get from him, he's an honest pro.He's decent quality and a good organizer and he did pretty well for us.Andy Mangan tired after 70 minutes but for the first half hour our penetration was excellent.It's something to build on for the derby game on Saturday.Saturday's game is the derby, why should we be downbeat.There's only a point in between the two teams."

"We've been doing a lot of positive work with the lads, working on the winning attitude and the winning mentality.Sometimes people take it for granted and you have to really work on that.I've brought a good friend of mine in called David Horrocks and he's a qualified psychologist.He sits back and observes things and passes on the positives to the lads, he's not being paid by the club and is doing this as a favour to me."

"Three or four games ago, we lost to Brentford here and we should never have lost that game.On Tuesday we've not lost the game where we could have done.It doesn't happen overnight and bit by bit it is starting to work.He's not in the players faces, if they want to use him, he is there for them, if they don't want to use him, then fair enough, but the motivational things that he does around the dressing room cant do any harm."
