Michael Skubala hails Lincoln as heroes after reaching 100 points

Michael Skubala hailed his Lincoln side after they became centurions with a 4-3 victory over Wycombe.

Skubala’s side signed off their home campaign in style thanks to Reeco Hackett’s brace, which was sandwiched between goals from Jack Moylan and captain Tendayi Darikwa.

There were glorious scenes as the players and the fans serenaded each other with renditions of Queen’s We Are The Champions at the LNER Stadium.

Skubala, whose champions hit the 100 point mark with a 28th game without defeat, beamed: “They’re heroes. The lads are heroes.

“You can see the emotion in the lads in the second half, the emotion of what they’ve done.

“It’s not about today. It’s about the whole season. How we celebrate now and enjoy, I know we have one to go, but it’s about the achievement.

“It’s a phenomenal feat [28 games unbeaten]. They’re put so much work in the players, the staff.

“You have to live with pressure as a manager. They’re just amazing staff as well.

“When we got promoted at Reading, what a day. But all of a sudden I felt the pressure to deliver the title. When you’re so close, and you feel you have one hand on something. There’s a different type of pressure.

“I’m so happy the players have been able to deliver something so special.

“We absolutely blew the league away, 100 points, 28 without loss, 22 wins in that, it’s unbelievable. We’ve just got to enjoy it.

“I told the lads and the staff to enjoy this day with their families and the fans because I’m not sure you replicate this in football.”

Wycombe boss Michael Duff was left frustrated with the manner in which his side shipped their goals.

Josh Scowen, Declan Skura and Cauley Woodrow scored in vain for the visitors.

And Duff groaned: “It was the same old story, I’m bored now. We can’t keep playing well and losing, I’m fed up of it.

“They’ve just got it there. Doesn’t matter that we have nothing to play for. Things will have to change around the training ground, day to day habits and they will next year.

“We totally dominated the game against the league champions, statistically again it’s not even close and we’ve lost the game.

“It sums the season up. You can say I hide behind the stats, whatever you want, but we should win that game.

“We end up 3-0 down, get ourselves back into it and the moment we get back into it they boot it down the pitch, we don’t do our job and we blow up.

“I can hide behind the referee, he’s missed two or three penalties. But that’s not the point, it’s deeper than that, it’s a cultural thing and it needs to be eradicated.”
