Spencer Collins remains convinced a six-point haul from Walton Casuals’ final two games of the season will be enough to see the Stags avoid Ryman Division One South relegation.
Walton threw themselves a lifeline with an impressive 3-1 win at Metropolitan Police on Saturday, a result that hauled them out of the drop-zone by virtue of goal difference.
And with clashes with Sittingbourne and Leatherhead to follow, Collins is eying a great escape.
He said: “I always thought four wins from our last seven games would be enough to keep us up and we have two of those wins.
“I am sure that it is still in our own hands as other results really went our way at the weekend.
“We have not had much luck this season but things seem to be falling for us at last.
“They are obviously two massive games and two very difficult games but we will approach them with confidence.”
Steffan Gaisie (two) and Mu Maan were on target as the Stags triumphed at Imber Court at the weekend.
And Collins felt it was a fully-deserved three points.
He added: “It was a good win but it was certainly not easy.
“We were never comfortable but I thought we were the better side.
“Steffan is a bit of a talent and he took his goals very well.
“There is a very fine line between winning and losing and we seemed to have fallen on the right side for a change.”
Casuals now face mid-table Sittingbourne at the Waterside before a final-day clash with the Tanners.
And the Walton boss is expecting a tough ride.
Collins added: “When you play a side in mid-table they can be very difficult as they are just enjoying their football.
“There is no pressure on them and they can be very dangerous.
“We have to make sure we go into the right game with the right mentality and make sure we get the points.”
Walton Casuals’ remaining fixtures: Apr 17 Sittingbourne (h), 24 Leatherhead (a)
