An 11th-minute goal from loan striker Paul Gedman was enough to see off the challenge from Warrington at the Shay.

But they went onto spurn a host of first half chances as they were unable to build on the early strike

And Vince admitted that Town had not been able to reproduce their first half form after the break.

"I was a bit disappointed because we should have been out of sight by half time and won the game comfortably," said Vince.

"I thought our passing in the first half was sublime.

"Some of the movement, the possession and keep ball was good and if we had come in at half time two or three up it would have been game over.

"If we had capitalised in the final third the game would have been dead and buried at half time.

"We did not live up to the same levels in the second half, giving the ball away too cheaply in certain areas.

"When you do that it gives the opposition an opportunity, but they never really looked like scoring and Jon Kennedy did not have to make a save."

The only goal of the game was a delight to watch as Gedman chipped the advancing keeper for his third in two matches.

"Just before the goal there was a passage of play where we kept the ball well," said Vince.

"And it was not a case of keeping the ball for the sake of it, we progressed into an area where we had an end product.

"That is exactly the type of football we are looking to play here.

"We should be scoring a lot more goals than we are."

At the other end of the field, Vince handed skipper Tony Barras his first competitive start for the club.

And that enabled him to change the formation of the team, switching to three central defenders and wing backs.

"I'd always wanted to do that," he said. "Unfortunately with Tony getting injured we had not been able to do it.

"We have flexibility and playing three at the back is a very offensive line up.

"It can put added pressure on the defence, but there wasn't any pressure on them tonight."
