Stimson continued: “Saturday, apart from Michael coming off the bench, was the first time in four or five that we haven’t given a debut to someone. We have a settled squad now.

“We’d like to look at the next eight games and just see what points return we get and I am sure it will be better than the previous 10, that is our aim.

“We will give everything we have got to get the points we need.

“Michael came off the bench. He had just come training, we were light on the bench and we put him on because one of our young players, Vinnie Bowman, has been on trial at Millwall. We had space and he took that space.”

Haringey’s winning goal came on 64 minutes but Margate thought they had worthy appeals for a penalty. Referee Oliver Kaya disagreed.

Stimson said: “It was a big appeal and when you get four or five people appealing it, sometimes you think it’s going to be but you don’t always get that bit of luck that you need sometimes, unfortunately, so a very disappointing and frustrating afternoon after getting our first win the week before.

“Both teams are near the bottom of the table and there weren’t many chances. Unfortunately for us on the day they took their one and our main one, the keeper pulled off a good save, one-on-one.

“To come away with nothing after a really good first-half performance was disappointing.

“I think we deserved something, but you don’t always get what you deserve and you have to brush yourself down and go again.

“This week we find ourselves at home against Horsham, who are just outside the play-offs, so another challenge but one we’re looking forward to and hopefully we can get another home win.”
