After seeing his side come from a goal behind to beat Marlow on Thursday night, manager Richard Money is pleased with the development of his team as the season fast approaches.
"We're worked really hard, the fitness levels look good and it's pleasing that we can keep going so strong for so long," he said. "We're trying to develop a style of play where we rotate across the front and the movement and the passing of team is of a real high standard.
"If you play in straight lines and hit the ball forward, it's relatively easy for teams to get a lot of players behind the ball and make life difficult but we need to get the ball forward early, we need to get forward early in the right way and we showed at times that we can do that.
"You've got to be patient, sometimes you get goals in the first half and sometimes you have to wait for them. I would think the crowd at Kenilworth Road are beginning to get used to that. We showed here that once we've scored, the floodgates can open.
"What you're looking for when you don't get periods when you're scoring goals is are you creating opportunities? Do you look dangerous? And the answer to that in the first half was yes.
"It's difficult to score when you've got seven of the opposition along the six-yard box and the goalkeeper made some good saves.
"I thought the movement was good in the first half, I thought the tempo was very, very good. I thought our play up until the final third was excellent and the final ball just let us down at times and they defended really well.
"As a manager, you know what you're looking for and a lot of what we're looking for was happening in the first half.
"Second half, you know that if you keep playing them with the same intensity and at the same level, and the same movement, eventually you'll get the breakthrough.
"We didn't expect them to get a penalty and score but that's the way it is. We gave fair credit to them, we stuck at it and we ran out easy winners and it could have been any score.
"Maybe sometimes if you're scoring a lot of goals in pre-season you're worried that they're going to dry up like they did when we went into the Play-Offs last year, so let's hope we're saving some for when the season starts.
"As long as we score enough goals in the pre-season games to win them then we're all happy. I thought the level of play from everybody was very, very good."
