LEE Sinnott welcomed arguably Altrincham’s best win of the season but warned there can be no let-up in the quest to banish any lingering relegation concerns.

Just three days after a 5-0 drubbing at Grimsby, Alty turned on the style to dent Woking’s promotion aspirations with an outstanding and thoroughly deserved 3-1 win on Tuesday.

But with fellow-promotion hopefuls Dover next up at The J.Davidson Stadium on Saturday (3pm), Alty boss Sinnott spelled out the task ahead by saying: "It has to be more of the same. This was a well-constructed win against tough opponents, and it is vital we adopt the same approach on Saturday and beyond.

"We had an honest and frank 50-minute discussion in the changing room at Grimsby, and I outlined exactly what I wanted from this game. Fair play to the lads, they delivered.

"Any manager wants his team to be quick out of the traps, and the way we started didn’t allow Woking a foothold in the game. The players worked really hard to assert themselves, but it was nothing I didn’t think they were capable of.

"I’ll be a bit guarded in what I say because though they have shown the level required, there is a lot more work to do."

Striker Jonny Margetts marked an impressive home debut with a superbly-taken goal to make it 3-1, while fellow loanees Marcus Holness, only signed from Tranmere hours before kick-off, and Burnley winger Josh Ginnelly also shone.

"How Marcus slotted into central defence so seamlessly after so little preparation I don’t know," said Sinnott.

"We were solid in central midfield, Ryan Crowther and Josh looked dangerous and Jonny and Michael Rankine worked their socks off.

"Jonny was on the move all the time, asking questions of their defenders, and he deserved his goal. He was terrier-like in that respect, and I thought he showed good touches as well.

"Damian Reeves is fully fit now after his hamstring problem, so there is competition for places, which is no bad thing. We have to run with a small squad, so it’s good there is real competition for who starts."
