Despite missing several key regulars through injury as well as having lost manager Steve Morison to Sutton United, the visitors showed little sign of vulnerability, moving six points clear at the top as they got back to winning ways following three straight draws.

By contrast, Town have now taken only five points from six games and are beginning to look anxiously over their shoulders.

It was the hosts who so nearly struck first, Sam Youngs’ header superbly pushed against the post before being cleared off the line.
