Maidstone United manager George Elokobi on their 1-0 National League South victory at Salisbury as late David Sesay strike earns the points

George Elokobi was impressed with Maidstone’s professionalism after a vital away win at Salisbury.

The Stones arrived in Wiltshire on the back of a magnificent 8-0 midweek victory over Enfield Town.

It would have been easy to get carried away after a result like that but Elokobi’s men stayed focused on the task in their quest for a National League South play-off place.

Having controlled the game, their persistence paid off as substitute David Sesay’s 82nd-minute strike earned a 1-0 win.

They remain 11th but are just two points behind seventh-placed Weston-super-Mare, their opponents in a rearranged home game on Tuesday night, albeit having played more games than all the sides around them.

“The players are mature enough to know, as a squad, as a club, that we have to do things right,” said Elokobi.

“We don’t disrespect anyone in the league.

“When we win the way we did on Tuesday, yes, we enjoy it, because it’s not every game you’re going to score eight goals.

“However, we parked that, that was one game, three points, and we switched our attention straight away to Salisbury on Thursday, when we came into work.

“It was work time and we had to make sure we followed that with another solid performance, away from home, at a difficult place, and that’s what the players have done.

“They’re managing these moments and they know it’s pressure, it’s pressure moments where at this stage of the season you want to try and go for maximum points.

“We’re trying to make up for lost time because there’s a lot to catch up.

“The boys are humble, they’re respectful, it’s a fantastic environment and they’re making sure they’re working hard for one another.

“We didn’t have to calm anyone down, after Tuesday,
