Lincoln City captain Scott Kerr has hailed the impact made by manager Peter Jackson since his arrival at Sincil Bank.
City were deep in relegation trouble when Jackson took charge last October, but they now lie 12 points clear of danger, having won six of their last seven games.
Kerr told the Lincolnshire Echo: "When Peter Jackson first came in, training became a lot harder. It was a lot more physical, more high-intensity.
"The manager wanted a competitive atmosphere, even to the point that the losing team in five-a-side had to do extra running and no player wants to do that.
"He wanted us closing down as if we were in a competitive match, moving the ball around quickly.
"He didn't want the squad behaving as if they had a lethargic attitude to training, he gave us a real incentive to win."
