WOOLFENDEN KEEPS TRACTOR BOYS IN RIGHT GEAR FOR LIFT-OFF

One-nil will do just fine for Paul

- Brian Alderton

PAUL Lambert was delighted following his Ipswich side’s narrow victory over Lincoln as they head into a crucial period of games against promotion rivals.

Luke Woolfenden’s strike just before half-time was enough to overcome Lincoln and send the Tractor Boys to the top of League One.

Lambert said: “I thought that we were very, very good against a fine side. Michael has got a good team but “Woolfie” does well at the back post and heads it in, it was a good goal.

“We did a brilliant move, we kept the ball for about two minutes and (Will) Keane just puts it beyond the post. We made some great combination play in their half, it was relentless.

“I was happy to win the game as winning games is so important, but I am really pleased with the way we played overall.”

Lambert picked out striker Keane and midfielder Emry Huws as two key players during the match and, in general, said that they do the simple things well.
