I can't fault LW for keeping the same team that walloped Maidenhead but they really should have worked harder looking for that second goal.
It’s another thing that at times certainly away from home has been our Achilles heel at this level. To go and finish teams off when 1-0 up away from home. A one goal lead is simply not enough unless you are solid and resolute at the back and can hold out against the home team who will always have their spell and periods where they test our defence.

We did enough on Saturday to win the game because first and foremost we scored two goals away from home. We dominated for periods. What let us down was our defensive frailties and vulnerability under pressure. We need to be confident and ruthless and kill teams off away from home.

That was the difference between us and Stockport last season they could grind out those away wins. The positive is that the manager saw it and was disappointed by it and can hopefully do something about it.
