"That performance won't seep into Tuesday night, I'll make sure of that," says Town manager McGrath ahead of Boston game

The Shaymen lost 2-1 on the south coast on Saturday in an underwhelming display, their fourth away league defeat out of five this season.

But McGrath is determined that his side pick up where they left off on home soil, where they have fared much better this season, winning three, drawing one and losing one, and scoring twice as many goals.

"I think our home form is really good, so that performance (at Worthing) won't seep into Tuesday night, I'll make sure of that," McGrath said.

"I'll make sure the lads know that Tuesday is back to when we played Hornchurch, or Sutton, or Tamworth or even Boreham Wood, where we played well at times

"Home form is not my issue, it's getting it right away from home."

Reflecting on his side's performance and defeat on Saturday, McGrath said: "I don't think it's massively worrying because we'd picked up seven points from the last three games, it's now seven from four.

"If we tip away nicely like that, I'm not ringing any alarm bells, I know I've got players that are good enough to win games of football and it's back to how we play at home on Tuesday night.

"I'll do my work and due diligence and make a plan going forward."

But the Town boss admitted it was "massively frustrating" that Town's momentum from three wins out of four in all competitions had ground to a halt at Worthing.

"It is, because it's not because of anything other than what we didn't do in the game," he said.

"It can't be because of what we did do, because we didn't do enough.

"So it's frustrating from that perspective, because if we'd just been an extra 10, 15 per cent in that first-half, worst case scenario you come away with a point and you build on it on Tuesday night.

"So from that perspective, it's disappointing because we lose another game by the odd goal. That's been the running theme.

"When we win games, it's by three or four but when we lose games, it's by the odd goal.

"It's just making sure our away performances get slightly better."

Defender Raheem Conte is expected to be available, as are centre-back Will Flint and forward David Kawa.

On winger Owen Bray, McGrath said: "He should be available, he's back in training.

"He's doing his return to training protocol so he's hopefully back in contention for Tuesdya, all being well."

And on centre-back Mackenzie Maltby, who is yet to make his debut for Halifax, McGrath said: "He's back on the grass, doing straight line running and he's looking good."

Winger AJ Warburton was left out of the squad on Saturday.

"He just didn't make the squad," McGrath said.

"We looked at it and we had Max who could fill in at right-back, we had Raheem who could do right-back and Dylan."
