As usual, we bring you our collection of quotes from various sources regarding our latest game, this time against Wrexham. It was a game that City dominated and Marriott didn't have to make a single save during the entire game. It took City up to 10th in the table and things are looking good.

Holy crap, we won a game, but in true Lincoln style, it wasn't particully convincing. For an hour, we struggled to make a break through and I am still at a loss when trying to figure out why we brought Paul Mayo back to the club. I don't have anything against the lad but he distribution and "radar" are completely awful.

On the positive side, we made an apparantly strong Wrexham side look very very poor. The Welshman didn't even slightly trouble Marriott into making a save and I'd be very surprised if he had to make a save.

We've started creeping up the table and if you look at the pre-season friendlies (that the first team were involved in) and then add them to the league games, this new team has only lost twice since the defeat in Cardiff and if this continues, we should at least finish in the top half.

I'm also starting to run out of words to describe how good I think Keates is.

"We were beaten by the better side"

"We were never in the game and as good as we were on Saturday, we just weren't there tonight. Fair play to them, they worked hard and as soon as they went 1-0 up, they had their tails up."

"We came here to win, but we never got going and mistakes cost us dear. Happily, this was not a cup tie and we can learn from out mistakes and try and make it right against Orient on Saturday.

Dennis Smith, Wrexham manager.

"Overall it was a pleasing result and I can't recall a game where we have dominated from start to finish. Wrexham put together a few nice passing movements, but as we learned under Buckley, you can pass it all day long but it won't make a difference if you don't take a shot."

"People keep on being negative about how poorly we've played this season but if you look at the Loss's column, only Notts County and Wycombe have fewer (none) defeats than us. I won't be complaining if we win promotion by playing diabolically every game."

"It was typical Wrexham really, go away, play for the draw and hope all goes well. As soon as Lincoln took the lead, our players simply gave up and the only time we looked like we might fluke a goal, was right at the end, resulting in them scoring a second. Simple not good enough."

"Tonight, there were two teams who are tipped for promotion and only one looked like they had a decent chance of going up and it wasn't the Dragons"
