MA: "The referees have apologised for the decision. It doesn't change anything just that it wasn't a good day for the ref or for us as a club. There's another very good opportunity coming up for us soon and we need to make sure we're in the right mindset for them."

After today’s FA Cup tie against

DC on Nathan Arnold: "We would not be here without his contribution, that's a fact. I'm open minded with it, I love Nathan, he's a lovely boy and he's about the only one in there with any GCSEs!"
MA: For me it’s stay patient and stay behind the players. The group isn’t the group that it was last year. (A message to fans ahead of the game)

JM: “If I do go back it’s not because I want to leave Lincoln. The connection I’ve got with the supporters after such a short amount of time reaffirms that and it’s a special club.”
#LincImps
Appleton on Toffolo leaving: “Potentially, it’s one of them where over the next 24/48 hours is there might be a bit of movement with him. If his valuation is met by a certain club then we’ll give him his well wishes, if not, he’ll still be a Lincoln City player.”
#LincImps
MA: "When the dust settles and you think of the achievement of having reached the play-offs, everyone should be very proud. There's still a job to be done though."
#LincImps
LF: My main focus when I was walking to the penalty spot was my daughter, she told me this morning that she really wants to go to Wembley, I had to do it for her
#LincImps
DC on reaching 100 games in charge: "60% isn't bad but we can always do better. We could have got to the FA Trophy final but Tuesday night helped that disappointment! We're looking forward to the next 100"

A night that will live long in the memory for the City fans who made the trip this evening
MA: "It's as bad decision as you've ever seen, but it's done now and there's nothing you can do about it. It's potentially cost the club a lot of money but we've got an opportunity to make sure that isn't the case."

Appleton on the European Super League: "It can only mean bad things for the game. If I gave you an hour I still wouldn't be able to touch on why I think it's bad. You wouldn't be able to call it football because it certainly wouldn't be that."
#LincImps

Listen to his thoughts below:
#LincImps
#ImpsAsOne
DC rules out any speculation linking him with Southend. "My focus since the moment Nicky and I joined has always been to improve where we're at. This is a brilliant club with huge potential. It'd be crazy to get off the Lincoln Loco
Appleton on reaction to penalty on Friday: "Well Gillingham aren't happy about most things. The lad's pulled [Brennan] back to stop him getting into the box."
#LincImps
JM: “When you’ve got that lot in the corner and the rest of the fans it’s a difficult place to come. I don’t think it’s any surprise that we’ve got the loudest fans in the league, the best fans in the league and one of the best home records.”
#LincImps

#LincImps
