League still priority - Pitman

Hereford manager Jamie Pitman was delighted to get through to the third round of the FA Cup, but insisted the league is more important, with his side currently propping up the npower League Two table. The Bulls, who edged out Lincoln in a seven-goal thriller at Sincil Bank, took a fourth-minute lead when Mathieu Manset fired in a left-foot shot and Lincoln drew level two minutes later through Jamie Clapham's close-range effort before Delroy Facey forced the ball home to put the Imps ahead. Stuart Fleetwood swept home an equaliser for Hereford and then scored a spectacular long-range effort to give them the lead at the break and although Lincoln equalised again through Ashley Grimes, Kenny Lunt set up Manset for the winner. Pitman said: "I'm pleased we got through. It was an end-to-end match with some great goals as well. I thought it was a great game which was well competed for. "But we need to address our defending. Going forward we look very sharp. Manny (Mathieu Manset) and Fleets (Stuart Fleetwood) are getting goals and producing some good performances. "We've just got to keep going on in the league. It's a consistency thing. We've got to make sure we're disciplined and stay together."
