Drummy reported the emphatic 3-2 win at Colchester has boosted confidence ahead of this Saturday's home game against Morecambe.

He said: "Three performances that were pleasing, the fact we got a point at Blackpool, I think tactically we got it right against a good side.

"Luton I think we took the game to them and should have, with more concentration and more game-management, got a result.

"And then to go 1-0 down (against Colchester) I think the lads showed a lot of character to play really well and win the game, obviously with Jimmy getting a hat-trick, it was a special night for him.

"It gives the squad confidence going into the Morecambe game."
