Lincoln City have won five of their past six games in League One

Boss Michael Skubala says the Lincoln City side he is aspiring to create has begun to emerge.

The Imps beat Shrewsbury 3-0 on Tuesday to extend their uneaten run to nine matches.

Winning a third successive game for the first time this season also moved Lincoln to within six points of the League One play-off spots.

"To a man, I thought it was probably the best performance I've seen since I've been here," Skubala said.

Teddy Bishop opened the scoring early on, with second-half goals from Reeco Hackett-Fairchild and Lasse Sorensen - which was a contender for goal of the season - completing the commanding victory.

The Danish full-back admits he "had a little bit of luck" with the goal, but the strike from the right touchline was a deserved third after he collected the ball out wide when Bishop's penalty hit the post.

"I thought they were phenomenal tonight," Skubala told BBC Radio Lincolnshire.

"In the first 20 minutes we were electric. It was unbelievable the way we started the game and the rest of the game I thought we were really good.

"'I've always said it was evolution and not revolution and what you are starting to see now is how we want to play.

"For me, that first 20 minutes if you can replicate that for 90 minutes, teams won't live with you."

Lincoln next face sixth-placed Stevenage on Saturday.
