Head coach Michael Skubala wants to keep City's strong start to the season going after victory over Luton Town.
The 3-1 success over the Hatters took the Imps to 18 points from the opening nine games, an impressive two-points-per-game record.
Skubala said: "The lads were all magnificent and we deserved all three points. We want to make sure this is a real fortress for teams to have to come to. Fans can get excited, which we want them to do, but we just want to keep the process going and do what we do.
"We put a tactical plan together which worked, then with the depth of the squad everyone is ready to go. All the subs who came on affected the game in such a good way.
"That competition for places is exactly what we need - we know we've got people who can come in and do a job whenever they are called upon."
City are back in action at the LNER Stadium on Tuesday night when Premier League side Chelsea visit in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Skubala added: "Before this game there was no mention of Chelsea, but now we've got the three points we have to recover quickly and get ready for an exciting game on Tuesday.
"Of course it'll be hard and we know their quality, but we'll put a team on the pitch that we think can win the game. We truly believe at home we can can cause damage and hurt anyone."
