VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Lincoln City manager Steve Tilson told BBC Lincolnshire:
"It could have gone either way but we got a little break and hopefully we can push on from this.
"The win should give them a massive lift. They're a great bunch of lads that want to do well and that's the difference from last year.
"The lads are buzzing and hopefully it'll continue on to Saturday."
