Dario Gradi has told the club's official web-site that he is aiming to turn promising performances into league points with another good result at Sincil Bank tomorrow. The Alex got their season up and running with a emphatic 7-0 win over Barnet last weekend and followed that up with a spirited performance against Championship side Ipswich Town on Tuesday evening.

The Tractor Boys led by Roy Keane needed extra-time to end our hopes of landing a lucrative tie in Round Three of the Carling Cup and Dario has told us that the plaudits were nice but he wanted more.

Dario told the club's official web-site: "It is all well and good having good performances but we want points. It was a good performance against Ipswich but we didn't score a goal and that was disappointing because if we had done, then we would have had a good chance of getting through.

"It would have been an excellent performance if we had scored and gone through, so there will be no-one here getting carried away with things.

"After losing to Hereford and Cheltenham by the odd goal, we then won 7-0 against Barnet, so I am still not sure about what season we are going to have. The good thing about the Barnet game is that we showed we could score goals. It is always a fantastic achievement to score 7 goals in a game.

"I am still not sure yet about how good this team can be. It is still early days but if we also consider the pre-season then we do look harder to beat than we did.
