Sutton last saw his side win in League Two against Macclesfield on October 10

Lincoln City manager Chris Sutton says making permanent signings during the January transfer window will be crucial to the Imps' battle against relegation.

City have made several loan signings but are third from bottom in League Two after nine games without victory.

Sutton told BBC Lincolnshire: "We can only play five loan players so we'll see who we can get in January.

"As much as I'd like to play pretty football, to be honest I don't think we're capable of it at the moment."

Sutton added: "It's going to be tough. We have to be resilient, effective and gritty and try to create chances another way."
