Sam Tillen wants a response from his side after Friday’s 3-1 defeat away at Bradford City.

A loss to Bradford saw the young Imps record back-to-back losses for the first time since December, and Tillen wants to see his side return to form, with just three games left to play in the season.

He said: “I hope we can get back to being more solid defensively and more creative and effective in the final third when we play again next Friday.”

Tillen saw some positives from Friday and has encouraged his side to be more ruthless in the final third over the final few weeks of the 2023/24 campaign.

He added: “The first half was relatively even, we showed some decent build up play but lacked clear cut chances. When we did get them, we were not clinical enough and lacked some composure.”
