Paul Jewell writes: Because we have spent a few quid, people think we can pull up trees straight away - that doesn't happen in football.

But the application against Lincoln was good. I thought this was a similar performance to the one we put in at Watford last Saturday.

I was very pleased with it and the chances we created. The one thing I was disappointed in was us not hitting the target enough. We have to make the goalkeeper make a few more saves.

Defensively we were also a lot better. Last week at home we tried to play them at their game - and, credit to Lincoln, they are better than us at doing that.

But last night we got the ball down. We matched them physically, but we also used the ball well when we had it.

I was delighted for Isaiah. He is a boy who creates a lot of chances himself.

I also thought Lee Mills did a lot better and they look a good strikeforce.

I thought it was a good all-round team performance. Jamie Lawrence did well in defence after Stephen Wright had to pull out with a thigh strain.
