Lincoln City manager Keith Alexander believes his promotion dark-horses could still have a say in the play-off race.

The Red Imps have lost just one of their last nine games and Tuesday's 4-1 win at Carlisle puts them just two points off a top-seven place.

"It puts us right back in the pack and I'm sure there will be one or two teams looking over their shoulders," said Alexander.

"It was the first time this season we got the goals we deserved and I thought we were magnificent from start to finish.

"One or two people continue to knock us but the players will continue to take it on the chin.

"I don�t think anyone wants to play us and long may it continue," he told the club�s website.
