Remember the performance a few weeks ago when we beat Ebbsfleet comfortably? Town were superb that night but didn’t win another game until last Saturday.

No-one is under any illusions that we simply musn’t follow the same pattern after our magnificent win over Farnborough.

Gavin Macpherson knows that, so do his backroom staff (Jon Underwood said as much after our 5-1 demolition of Farnborough) and so do the players.

Which makes tonight’s visit of Maidstone to the Dave Bryant stadium (ko 7.45) that much more significant.

“The firm aim now is to find an answer on how we push forward with consistency,” said Gavin as he looked ahead. “Maidstone will be a massively tough test of where we are but push forward we must.”

One of the most dangerous teams in the division on their day with an illustrious history, the Stones may have lost 3-1 at Dorking on Saturday but some of their other recent results illustrate just how they can turn on the style– the 2-0 away win over Torquay the previous Saturday being a particular case in point.

One thing’s for sure. Maidstone, one of Lemar Reynolds’ former clubs of course, promise to be much tougher opponent that Farnborough.

But with Bath away to come on Saturday, we need to build on that confidence-boosting Farnborough result to try and climb out of the bottom four and kick on.
