DANNY WEBB was delighted after helping Chelmsford City to victory at Ebbsfleet on Tuesday night – but warned his side not to get complacent when they travel to lowly Dorchester on Saturday.
Webb was superb at the heart of defence in the 2-0 win at the big-spending Fleet, leading manager Dean Holdsworth to hail his performance as "fantastic".
The Clarets now head to Dorchester, who sit bottom of the table, but Webb believes it will be just as hard as Tuesday's win.
"It will be a completely different animal," he said. "They're bottom of the league, they are going to be fighting and scrapping, so it will be a scrap.
"At Ebbsfleet it was a lovely pitch, they passed it around and played some really good stuff and I think [manager] Steve Brown will do well here, but it was good for us to get a result here because Saturday will be hard – we've got to go there probably with tin hats on and hopefully get another win."
Webb was the only survivor of the back five that started the season, and there were two changes for the game at Ebbsfleet, with keeper Carl Pentney and centre-back Jide Madouka both making their first starts of the season.
And Webb said: "I don't think Hainsey [Mark Haines] has done much wrong at all, but sometimes things are freshened up.
"We had a new goalie come in, a new centre-half and Charlie [Henry] coming in left, it just gives the whole place a lift sometimes.
"But regardless of that I just think the performance, the way we set up and the maturity of some of the young lads was fantastic.
"If I'm perfectly honest I don't think anyone's done much massively wrong, obviously you look at the 4-0 at Hayes, we were down to ten men which doesn't tell the bigger picture, the score.
"But as a team we were poor. In a couple of home games we've been off it so to speak, but I don't think there's been anything drastically wrong.
"When you're letting in goals and not scoring many, the pressure's on, so in a way it was nice to come here tonight where the pressure was on them and play off the pressure.
"At half-time we knew that the worst we could play for was a 0-0 draw but to get two second-half goals was fantastic."
All night long it was the Claret Army who were singing the loudest at Stonebridge Road, and Webb felt the pressure was all on Ebbsfleet.
"You heard their fans getting on their backs after 20 minutes because they hadn't scored and that obviously gives us a lift," he said. "They start going deeper and rushing passes and then the counter attack for the second goal was fantastic, they were trying to get a goal, all the fans were on their back and then we break forward and all their heads go. It was brilliant.
"It's nice to have something to hold on to, but apart from the game against Weston we've not really had too many games where we've had something to hold on to but instead we've been chasing the game, especially against Whitehawk on Saturday. We were overcompensating, they got the second and it kills you.
"They did the same thing with us . I did feel a bit sorry for their front two, they were a bit isolated, but as a back four I thought we dealt with it very well."
The Clarets will head to Southern Premier League Biggleswade Town in the FA Cup Second Qualifying Round, and Webb is expecting a tough tie.
"I don't know anything about them," he added. "But it'll be hard – I know about the FA Cup and it'll be very, very hard.
"We could be playing a Sunday team and anything could happen in the FA Cup.
"There will be no pressure on them and we'd take a 1-0, but it's all about Dorchester for us first."
