Tilson cautious despite four straight wins

Steve Tilson remains cautious about City's chances of avoiding the drop, that despite a fourth win in a row. After beating Bradford on Tuesday night, the Imps boss knows that a bad week could be just around the corner.

The Imps are the division's form side. Four wins in a row have meant that in the space of ten days, the Imps have gone from bottom of the table by three points to being six points clear of the relegation zone, and some fans have even started talking about a potential run on the Playoffs.

Games are coming thick and fast for the Imps, with City playing on the majority of Tuesday nights, as well as Saturday afternoons. City only have two Tuesday evenings off between now and the end of March, but Tilson realises this doesn't necessarily mean a good run for the Imps, especially after a poor first half at Bradford.

"I was disappointed with the first 45 minutes, I didn't think we got to grips with it. We didn't compete, Bradford were better than us and we were lucky to still be in the game at half-time," Tilson told BBC Radio Lincolnshire. "In the second half we've come out and had a go we won our individual battles and at times we've played some good stuff.  But there's a long way to go. We could have a bad week, lose three games and get dragged right back into it. We can't rest on our laurels or we could find ourselves going the wrong way in the table."

City travel to Hereford next week to face them for the fourth time in ten weeks, that is followed by home games against Shrewsbury and Morecambe before travelling to Aldershot.

My thoughts exactly,and I certainly think we should take one game at a time.

We are doing well,but it can change and probably will,but will change again. We are going to have a few ups and downs before the end of the season.

We have a team that is playing for each other and playing well,and that is a big plus.

If we beat Hereford, Shrewbury and Morecambe I'd say we have a chance!

The one thing that concerns me is that the four teams we've beat have all been in poor form and/or were low on confidence....I don't think Hereford will be either of those, it'll be by far our trickiest game since the run began.

Good Luck, Mr Gorsky

Agree with that Nathan, to be honest all the wins have been by the odd goal as well.

Im glad he is being cautious and keeping everyones feet on the ground thats what a good manager should do.

I do agree its early days and the teams we have played have been on a poor run of form but who would have predicted the results after the wycombe game and how many times have we played teams on a bad run in the past couple of seasons who have beat us and got back on track!!

Peter Jackson would be calling us title contenders if he was still here.

Good Luck, Mr Gorsky
