Although beaten by Kingstonian last weekend, Maggs was sufficiently impressed by the performances of youth players Adam Hutchings and Tony Nwachukwu to give them both the full 90 minutes against the Ash Trees and their reputations were further enhanced with eye-catching displays that helped see off their in-form opponents. "The lads did very well," said Maggs. "You could say that my hand has been forced a little in throwing them both in to the side, given the injuries and what have you, but all credit to them, they didn't let themselves down and I was delighted to see them amongst the goals. It was a good performance from the whole side and, to be fair, the big difference on Tuesday was that we also had the rub of the green. That may sound a bit odd after some of the refereeing decisions that went against us but I thought we were excellent during the second half against Kingstonian without anything really falling for us. On Tuesday you can look at the penalty miss, the shot that's come back off the post and a couple of other chances where they might have scored and you think perhaps things are starting to go our way at last. Don't get me wrong, though, I felt we were excellent value for the win and I'm hoping that will give us the confidence to go to Maidstone and put in another good performance."

Maidstone ended a run of 4 defeats with a 1-0 success at Carshalton last night, a result that sees them leapfrog the Robins in to 16th place, and provided the club with a timely boost at the end of a troubled couple of weeks in which they had been dumped out of both the FA Trophy and League Cup, while Tuesday night's 3-0 loss at home to Hendon spelt the end of the road for joint managers Alan Walker and Lloyd Hume.
