And he could not have been more happy with the win. He said: "My players were just magnificent. Before the game there was a presentation and we had some high jinx in the changing room and that’s all well and good but you need to do it on the pitch and I thought to a man they were absolutely outstanding.

"To beat an ex-football league club 3-0, keeping a clean sheet and getting those three points we need, I couldn’t be any more happy."

"I have come up here after games we have drawn and you have to be positive.

"And yes you maybe right [stuck in a rut of draws] but let’s focus on this afternoon against Maidstone United. It’s a valuable, rewarding, most pleasing three points."

And Bloor was particularly pleased with the shut-out. He said: "The real pleasing aspect for me was getting that elusive clean sheet. We have conceded some goals and some pretty sloppy goals as well. We haven’t kept a clean sheet since my first game in the league as manager and that was back in November time.

"You need a clean sheet for us to remain in this division. Let’s not too carried away, we can enjoy this win but we have still got to get plenty more points to make sure we remain in the National League South."
