Brightwell: Be ruthless

Macclesfield Town manager Ian Brightwell has warned his side to show more resilience if they want to avoid being dragged further into the relegation battle.
The Silkmen are just three points clear of the bottom two following a 3-1 defeat at Lincoln City, which saw Town surrender a half-time advantage.
Brightwell told the Manchester Evening News: "It was a real Jekyll and Hyde performance.
"In the first half I thought we were excellent. We went in 1-0 up and we could have had more.
"In the second half, we were a different team. We were second to every ball and I don't think we showed enough passion.
"We're not ruthless enough. You can tell players all week but it's up to them to have that ruthless streak in them."
