Maidstone United manager George Elokobi praises the impact of assistant boss Craig Fagan after 3-2 comeback victory at Weymouth

Manager George Elokobi revealed the secret behind Maidstone’s clinical finishing in their comeback win at Weymouth.

United’s attacking players have been doing extra sessions with assistant boss and ex-Premier League forward Craig Fagan.

And how it showed in Dorset as the visitors twice came from a goal down to win 3-2 at the Bob Lucas Stadium.

In-form Levi Amantchi took his tally for the season to four with a pair of headers from Lamar Reynolds and Sol Wanjau-Smith crosses.

Another cross, this time from Raphe Brown, was met by Liam Sole for the winner, as United moved up to seventh in National League South.

Maidstone made all three goals look simple by being in the right place at the right time - a result of the work they’ve been doing with Fagan.

“A massive credit to Craig Fagan for the work he puts in with our attacking players,” said Stones boss Elokobi.

“He knows that role emphatically and he helps our attacking players and our midfield players ever so much doing extra training, extra finishing sessions, to give them that positional sense where the ball is going to fall when they are in and around the 18-yard box or the six-yard box.

“It’s good to see Levi full of confidence, taking on board what Craig has been working on, and we’ve seen Liam Sole make a fantastic run for his goal.

“Craig is a massive help to me because we’re beginning to see how our attacking players are operating - and there’s plenty more to come.”

Elokobi made his name at left-back while Fagan, his former Colchester team-mate, played up top for the likes of Hull, Derby and Bradford.

So when it came to working out roles and responsibilities, Elokobi was determined to make the most of his No.2’s expertise.

“That’s why we complement each other,” said
