"On Saturday it was good to pick up the win despite not being at our best. The first goal was was scored at the right time and gave us some momentum. We battled away and managed to find the winner.

"On Tuesday at Crowborough it was contrasting as despite going three goals down in the first half we showed good resilience to fight back and nearly come away with the draw.

"We controlled the possession and ball but were punished for our mistakes and lacked the extra quality when needed.”
