Tilson talks up team togetherness

Lincoln manager Steve Tilson was understandably delighted with a 4-3 victory at Stockport but remains concerned by his leaky defence. Ashley Grimes hit a hat-trick for the visitors and Adam Watts` strike on half-time proved to be decisive despite an own-goal in the second-half. Adam Griffin and David Pools` efforts were not enough to salvage a point for the hosts. Tilson said: "We're certainly scoring them, but we can't stop leaking them at the moment as well. "I wasn't downplaying this game beforehand, but at the end of the day it's Stockport County and its a six-pointer. "I can't fault the lads for effort, desire and togetherness. At times we didn't defend well - that's why they scored three goals - but it's a big three points for us. "The first of Grimes' goals was a great finish. He's taken a gamble - if a Premier League player scores a goal like that then it's labelled a great goal."
