Lincoln possess an outstanding home record this term, yet were seen off by the revitalised Blues.

And Jackett is convinced a seventh straight win was fully justified.

He said: ‘We got the key first goal, it was a great strike from Ronan, and in the second half I thought we were the better side, dominated and were on top.

‘The second goal was needed and was coming, it took us a little while to get it but we deserved it on quite a strong second-half performance, my players played very well.
