It doesn't get much better than three clean sheets and nine points in three matches for goalkeeper Brad Young.
The shot-stopper and his defence have reduced their opponents to very few opportunities in the last week, shutting out Crawley Town and Colchester United before a 1-0 triumph over Rotherham United on Saturday.
Tommy Leigh netted the decisive goal in the first half, thumping it in from inside the box after Bobby Kamwa's effort from the left side of the box rebounded into his path.
Speaking to BRTV after the fixture, Young reflected on the performance and the team's togetherness, with everyone playing their role in a successful week of results.
REFLECTIONS ON THE MATCH
“I think we know we can be better, but three points at the end of the day- that's what we came here for this morning, driving in, and that's what we wanted, and that's what we got.
TOMMY LEIGH’S FINISH
“He's in the right place at the right time, he knows where to be and he's quality. You fancy him putting it in the back of the net."
“We spoke in the past few games about not sinking into our own box and defending too deep, but it's hard when they're putting balls in on you. I think the lads coped with it really well, so a clean sheet at the end of the day — happy days.”
THREE CONSECUTIVE CLEAN SHEETS
“We ground out a win today. Clean sheet. If we keep a clean sheet, when we're up 1-0, that's all we can do, and hopefully the momentum keeps us going.
“It's brilliant, especially for goalkeepers and defenders. It's what we pride ourselves on. There were scruffy moments in the game from all of us, and we know we can be better, but 1–0 looks good on the scoreboard.”
STAYING STRONG AT THE BACK
"We all spoke together. Kofi, Riley and I played together through the back end of last year. We said we just need to get back to being solid, doing the basics well and sticking together.
"We had Macauley Southam-Hales, Jack Sparkes, Tom James and Ben Purrington with us as well; they've come in, and we're just more solid. We're trying to cut out silly mistakes and do our own jobs - it'll take care of itself."
THE GROUP
"We've got a brilliant group, like we did in the back end of last year. We all know our roles and our jobs. It's a good set of lads there; we all get on really well and I think it shows. When you're battling in the last couple of minutes, defending your box, you're in it together. Even the lads not in the squad were there with us all in the changing rooms celebrating afterwards. It's a great group to be in."
TEN STRAIGHT LEAGUE WINS AT THE MEM
"We spoke a lot in pre-season about continuing that momentum we built in the back end of last season. I think in the first couple of games we let ourselves massively, but now we're back on the horse. We know what we're doing. We know how important The Mem and the fans can be, especially when they're pushing us on, so long may that continue.
"We know it's a performance out there, and when we start games well and they get behind us, it's a brilliant atmosphere - one of the best I've ever played in. When we're at home, we know we've got that as a little advantage, but it's up to us to then keep that advantage."
TOP OF THE LEAGUE
"Three-game week, nine points, three clean sheets - a good week's work. Time to rest, then we're ready to go and be on the road again next week.
"Every game in League Two is going to be tough, especially if we're sitting at the top of the table. We're there to be shot at, in a way. We need to be ready and fully prepared. They'll be a good side, they're a good test always, so we need to be fully switched on, go there and hopefully get three points."
