Manager Drury says Corby 'still miles off' despite producing 'play-off form'

The Steelmen produced a late, late show to beat fellow strugglers Coleshill Town 4-3 last Saturday, with Lewis White popping up with the winning goal SIX minutes into time added on at the end of the game.

It stretched the team's unbeaten run to four games, and meant their points tally from those fixtures was eight from two wins and two draws.

The win saw Drury's stay 19th in the Pitching-In Northern Premier League Midlands Division, but they are now just two points away from safety - having been eight points adrift following their 4-0 beating at Barwell on October 24.

And although the recent form has obviously pleased Drury, the former Stamford man still wants, and is expecting, more.

"I said to the players, we have gone from bottom-of-the-league form to taking eight points in the past four games, and that is actually play-off form," the Steelmen boss told @chuckmiddleton.

"If you say at the start of the season that you're getting a two-point average per game, that is play-off form.

"I said to the lads how important it was on Saturday that we got the three points to make it that eight points from four matches.

"We are on a two-point average at the moment, which is the form of a play-off team, so it is big steps.

"But we are still nowhere near it yet, we are still miles off from where we want to be."

Saturday sees Corby return to Steel Park to take on a Belper team that is on the fringes of the play-off race (ko 3pm).

They currently sit eighth, one place and one point adrift of the play-off places.

They were 1-0 home winners against Carlton Town on Saturday, and have lost just one of their past nine league matches.
