Lincoln City 2 Fleetwood 1

MICHAEL APPLETON believes his Lincoln side are demanding respect from their rivals.

Anthony Scully scored twice in the second half, one a penalty after Danny Andrew’s free-kick had given the visitors the lead.

Appleton said: “It was difficult in the first half with them sitting in and making it hard for us to break them down. Clearly, we’re getting a lot of respect from sides.”

Fleetwood boss Simon Grayson said: “I could stand here and say how well we’ve played but we can’t keep making mistakes.”
