“I think it shows how far we have come that I’m frustrated we’ve picked up a point at Staines,” Hinshelwood said.
“If you go ahead on three occasions and score three goals in an away game, you’d expect to win it.
“This was a real chance for us to make a statement, move up to 15th and pull off another really impressive win but we couldn’t quite do it.
