Goals from Julian Joachim and on-loan defender Luke Graham sealed a 2-1 victory at Hucknall Town on Saturday.

The victory moved Lynn up to tenth in the Blue Square standings and Webb said: "It wasn't the prettiest of games, but we went to Hucknall and did a job.

"You've got to play to the conditions and the surroundings. We stressed that to the players before the game and I thought we did that.

"Hucknall made life very difficult for us in the first half by putting the ball behind us, but we mixed it with them.

"I wasn't happy with the defending for their goal and I told my two centre-halves that at the interval. The quality of our final ball also let us down in the first half."

Webb added: "We battled very well and played some good football after the break. The players should take confidence from this and take it into the Southport game on Saturday.

"If we are on our mettle and focused we can definitely cause them problems and it will show me how far we've come since those three home defeats."

Webb praised substitute Joe Francis, who provided the cross for Graham's first goal for the club.

"I'd say that was Joe's best 20 minutes of the season when he came on. He looked very lively," said Webb.

Webb's next piece of business will be to try and extend defender Graham's loan stay at the club.

"Everything is in place for it to happen," said Webb.

"I've spoken to Kettering manager Mark Cooper and he has indicated that everything is alright both ways.

"It's now down to my chairman to give me the go ahead to go and do it."

Bradley Thomas, Lynn's other loanee, will today have an MRI scan on his achilles, while The Walks outfit are still awaiting international clearance for Hungarian right-back Gabor Lucza.

Adam Smith became Lynn's latest injury casualty at the weekend, leaving Watnall Road on crutches.

Smith limped off with stud marks down his left leg and achilles towards the end of the first half and Webb said: "I wouldn't say Hucknall were the dirtiest of sides, but Adam's leg was in a right mess.

"He has got stud marks all down his leg and might be a problem for the weekend."

Lynn are already without Jack Defty for the trip to Southport with the striker starting the first of a three-match suspension for his dismissal at home to Solihull Moors.

The Linnets are expected to cover more than 800 miles on the road in their next two away matches.

After Southport on Saturday, Lynn travel to Gateshead a week tomorrow for a rearranged fixture.

Sables are running a supporters' coach to Southport on Saturday, leaving The Walks at 8.30am.
