Michael Skubala is determined to see his side finish the season on the strongest possible note.
The Imps sit 13th in Sky Bet League One with 13 games to go, with City's head coach wanting to finish as high up the table as possible.
He said: "We've got to keep moving and progressing, we don't want to let the season peter out. We will keep pushing to put points on the board.
"The lads are all really disappointed to lose against Burton Albion, we didn't have enough intensity or look like we had our usual zip.
"As a group we need to learn to move it quicker against teams that come and sit back against us."
Sam Clucas had a goal disallowed on his home debut before being replaced on the hour mark as the head coach tried to push the game with substitutions.
He added: "I made the changes to try and push the game, trying to get fresh legs and some speed on.
"We always want to push the game, and we'll keep working hard and pushing to get as many points as possible on the board."
