Lincoln City were 3-1 winners at home against play-off contenders Stockport County yesterday as the Imps made it a staggering 20 league games without a loss.
The goals came from Jack Moylan in the first half, before skipper Tendayi Darikwa and loanee Alfie Lloyd sealed the win late on in the second half.
Skubala said: “We don’t rely on just one person to score. We’ve got goals all around the team.”
Alfie Lloyd scored his first goal for the Imps during stoppage time at the end of the game. The Lincoln City manager said: “He’s on loan but he feels like one of ours.”
Lloyd ran over to the home supporters in his celebration and was embraced by dozens on the sideline. It’s clear that the young forward has rapidly become a favourite amongst fans here.
Still sitting four points clear of Cardiff City in second place, the league title has turned from a dream into an expectation for many Lincoln fans, but Skubala’s side are always focused on the next match.
The head coach said: “My target is the next three points, that’s all I’m thinking about.” As his side will take on Huddersfield Town away from home in their next league clash.
He added how the league title is currently not his concern, seeing it as more of a bonus for his team’s performances this season rather than a necessary goal.
Stockport had control of the possession for over 70 per cent of the game, with Lincoln City choosing to sit ten men behind the ball, soaking up pressure before scoring on fast breaks and from set pieces.
Skubala said: “When we get the ball we hurt teams.” In a similar fashion as at the end of the Cardiff game which saw his side have a similar level of possession.
The table-toppers continue to have the answers to every side that they play both at home and away, with the unbeaten run not looking overly likely to end any time soon, and only one loss at home this season. The next game at Huddersfield Town will prove to be yet another vital fixture in the closing stages of this season.
