Salisbury go into tomorrow's match against Wrexham at The Raymond McEnhill Stadium as proud leaders of the division.

Despite having lost the opening game of the campaign 1-0 at home against Burton Albion, Salisbury have won their last four matches to take over pole position from Cambridge United.

The Whites responded by winning back to back away games at Forest Green (2-1) and newly promoted Lewes (4-1), and then beat Grays (1-0) at The Raymond McEnhill Stadium.

And Salisbury moved to the top of the table after Charlie Griffin came off the bench to grab a late winner at Torquay on Monday in the Whites' last outing.

Manager Nick Holmes praised his team's spirit as they snatched the only goal at Plainmoor, saying the winner did not come as a surprise.

"I suppose sometimes you know it's going to be your day. I thought we defended ever so well, putting our bodies in the way," said Holmes.

Salisbury have come a long way in the last few years and no-one at the club is getting carried away with the Whites' unbeaten run.

This is manager Holmes' sixth season in charge at Salisbury and after coming in with a ten-year plan, even he must be overwhelmed on the success already enjoyed at the club having secured back to back promotions.

Salisbury romped their way to the Southern League Premier Division title in the 2005-06 campaign and then won promotion to the current division from Conference South via the play-offs the following season.

And the Whites consoliated last term, their first experience at Blue Square Premier level, finishing a highly respectful 12th position.

Holmes guided Salisbury to a five game unbeaten start last August and the Whites entered March with a realistic chance of a play-off berth.

However, Salisbury ran out of steam in the final two months of the campaign having not had the finances to add to the squad, but their mid-table finish was no under achievement.

Promotion to the Football League is considered too early at this stage for the club, but that does not mean Salisbury have ambitions of taking the next step.

And full-back Matt Robinson knows that despite their exploits last season, Salisbury will not find their second campaign at this level any easier.

"Having kept hold of the majority of our squad from last season, we look in good shape to have a good go again this year," said Robinson.

"This season will no doubt be another big test for us and will provide a different challenge from last year when, as the new boys to the league, we were an unknown quantity to a certain extent.

"However, we must not be fooled into thinking because we had a top-half finish last time around that it will be easy for us.

"I know from what I have heard people say about our team and achievements after games last season that they will be taking us very seriously this year and that will bring with it pressures to be at our best on every occasion.

"One thing I know about the team is that we will always give it our best shot because as a group we all expect that of each other."

Salisbury do not have the largest of squads but they do have a good mix of youth and experienced players, many of whom have appeared in the Football League.

The younger members of the squad will benefit from their first season in the Blue Square Premier, but some players - even regulars - remain at the club on a part-time basis.

Holmes made three new signings in the summer, and the squad is considered to have more quality than last season.

Midfielder Brian Dutton signed a one year contract after a successful trial spell.

The 23-year-old, who has previously played for Cambridge United and Weymouth, signed a full-time deal after impressing in a number of pre-season games.

Former Stafford Rangers centre-back Djoumin Sangare also joined the Whites after a trial.

Frenchman Sangare, 24, appeared 30 times for Stafford - relegated from Blue Square Premier - last season and his previous clubs include Chelmsford City, Lewes and Grays Athletic in England and Wasquehal in his homeland.

And former Newport County striker Charlie Griffin has also been recruited on a non-contract basis.

The much-travelled frontman has previously been on the books of Swindon Town, Yeovil Town, Woking, Havant and Waterlooville, Chippenham Town, Forest Green Rovers and Wycombe Wanderers.

The 29-year-old made his Newport debut in February 2007 and scored 28 goals in 70 appearances for the Welsh side.

James Bittner will continue in goal against Wrexham, with first choice keeper Ryan Clarke still out after fracturing a toe on a summer holiday.

Matt Robinson, Tim Bond, Djoumin Sangare and Scott Bartlett lined up in defence on Monday, with Darrell Clarke, Ian Herring, Mike Fowler and Liam Feeney occupying a four-man midfield.

Andy Sandell and Robbie Matthews led the strikeforce, but Charlie Griffin - the current leading scorer with three goals - and Matt Tubbs could be preferred in attack.
