Adam Lakeland can put his feet up this weekend and watch King’s Lynn Town’s rivals do battle in what is becoming a congested early-season promotion battle.

In truth, it’s unlikely the Lynn boss will switch off completely – for example, the night before Lynn demolished Kidderminster Harriers 4-0 at The Walks on Tuesday, Lakeland was watching Aveley play St Albans.

Lynn are without a game on Saturday – probably not the best timing given they are coming of the back of two good wins.

“I think off the back of a performance (against Kidderminster) like that you'd like to play, but it is what it is," said Lakeland.

“But I think the most important thing was that we won, with obviously having no game at the weekend, and to win here on a Tuesday night, backing up a win on the Saturday, it's been a really good three or four days for us.

“The lads can enjoy a weekend off now, but we'll be back in working hard and getting ready for the next game.

“It’s important that whilst we enjoy that and take confidence from it, it's just another game and it's another three points. That's it. You have got to enjoy it tonight, but we'll be we'll be back in next week and getting ready for another tough game against Scarborough.”

Lakeland will go into that game knowing that goals are being shared around the team, which relieves some of the burden on the shoulders of Jonny Margetts – who made it seven for an injury-interrupted season with a brace on Tuesday.

“You need goals from everywhere,” said Lakeland. “It was pleasing to get a goal off a corner tonight. And we were unlucky really not to have scored - Macca (Kyle McFadden) had one blocked off the line before that and I think it was off another resulting corner if memory serves me right where it's landed to Fin Barnes and he's come inside and shot and it was blocked on the line, so we executed our set plays better.

“The long throw, obviously with Freddie (Sass) being back in the team - we almost scored off that inside two or three minutes. But then in open play and on transition we we looked a threat and it's important that you've got goals coming from multiple sources. I've always believed that we’ve got plenty of goals in this team, but I have also said that we will get better as the season goes along. We're probably getting up and around that halfway stage now and we've obviously had a decent start and I think there's a lot more to come.”

The midweek performance was one full of desire and commitment – two facets all football managers demand – and the sight of McFadden tearing into a challenge in the closing moments exemplified the kind-set of the night.

“That's what we want,” said Lakeland. “Everybody at it for 95 minutes -physical, aggressive but controlled, hard working, but with quality.

“I just thought it was a really good all round performance and one that we should take a lot of confidence from.”
