Gary McCann was delighted with the win over Kingstonian and said, "It was a performance that had a little bit of everything. We started slowly, but that was no surprise given that we had not played a competitive game for 14 days and Kingstonian came in on the back of four straight wins.

"But once we got into the game, we were excellent. Despite the conditions our passing was very good and we could have scored a few more goals.

"In the second half, apart from the Chris Seeby incident, our discipline was outstanding. We defended in numbers and did what we set out to do. Elliott Brathwaite, Charlie Goode and Casey Maclaren were absolutely magnificent in defence and Ben McNamara's handling was impeccable.

"We had to sit back when we were down to 10 men, but we did what we had to and, for all of their territory and possession, Kingstonian really didn't create many chances.

"It was a really good day for us, with the teams above us - Dulwich and Maidstone - losing. After losing at Enfield, it was imperative to get back to winning ways and this was a difficult game. If it had gone the other way we would have been looking over our shoulders and been worrying about dropping out of the playoffs."
