Assistant Head Coach Louis Storey praised another professional performance from Carlisle United as the Blues continued their impressive run of form with victory over Boston United at Brunton Park.
United extended their unbeaten run to nine matches in all competitions and moved into the National League play-off places, with Storey delighted by the quality, togetherness and standards shown by the squad.
He said: "It was a really good performance with some very good individual displays, especially in attacking areas.
"We knew it was going to be a big test because of the way Boston play. They can sometimes stifle and disrupt your flow with a solid possession shape, but we overcame that challenge with some great moments of quality.
"Once again, it was a really professional performance."
Reflecting on the team's recent form, Storey added: “It's very enjoyable and it's something we're determined to continue.
"We've had different challenges in recent weeks. We played Salford, a team from a higher division, and Harrogate, who are one of our competitors towards the top end of the table.
"Today was about having that respect for the opposition and what they were going to present, but also about what we wanted to do and the levels we wanted to hit.
“The group exceeded those levels once again and that's a reflection of where we are mentally. We're setting standards and pushing them all the time. We're really cohesive and working hard.
"I'm really happy we've continued that momentum and long may it continue."
Leo Duru opened his goalscoring account for the Blues, something Storey felt was thoroughly deserved following his performances throughout the campaign.
"He's been an unbelievable asset since the start of the season.
"The dynamism, power and pace he brings in the wide areas, especially on that right-hand side, alongside his defensive qualities, have been fantastic.
"He's been an absolute pleasure to watch and a great footballer for this club.
"What's fantastic about the goal is that it's something he's been working on in his individual development plan.
"We've challenged Leo that it's not just about being a wing-back who sets up goals and delivers crosses. Can he get into those areas and score goals himself?
"He did that today with a fantastic arrival and a great run at the back post, so we're over the moon for him."
With United now occupying a play-off position, Storey insisted there would be no let-up in the demands placed on the squad.
"It feels good to be in the play-offs finally. It's taken a bit longer than we expected and wanted, but we're in there now.
"We've just had a conversation about not letting our standards slip.
"We've been ruthless over the last six to eight weeks in pushing standards, pushing output and pushing the demands on every metric possible, both in training and in games.
"We've got to keep doing that."
