BRACKLEY TOWN boss Jon Brady believes his side can play even better than they did in the 4-1 annihilation of Altrincham on Saturday.
The Saints started life in the Blue Square Bet North with a superb win against one of the pre-season favourites for promotion.
Goals from Gary Mulligan, who netted a brace, Elliot Sandy and Tom Winters secured a fine success at Moss Lane.
Brackley will now look for a similar level of performance when they play their first home game of the season against Hinckley United on Tuesday night.
But demanding manager Brady wants an even better showing than the one which impressed many onlookers on Saturday.
“To be honest it could have been more at the weekend,” said Brady.
“But each game is different, you’ve got to play a different way. I think we could play better than that and I would hope we do at home to Hinckley.”
The opening-day victory against such a well-fancied side will give Brackley fans hope their team could go on and achieve something special this season.
Last year’s Southern League Premier Division champions have set tongues wagging, but Brady is keen to play down any early expectation.
He said: “You can’t talk about promotion at this stage, that would be craziness.
“You get some funny results at the start of the season but it’s about being consistent and performing even better than that week in, week out. That’s what we need to do now.”
