Before their previous four away games against Barrow, Southport, Wrexham and Solihull Moors, Torquay United had only won two games on their travels all season in the Vanarama National League.
However, the Gulls have now doubled that total to four and in defeating Solihull Moors they have also increased the number of teams that they have done the double over to two - Play-off hopefuls Dagenham & Redbridge are the other team they have defeated at home and away.
With manager Kevin Nicholson not being given the funds to sign a striker on the loan deadline day by owner's Gaming International, greater importance is now placed on scoring goals from defence and midfield.
By netting United's late winner against Solihull Moors on Tuesday night, Dan Sparkes is now the Gulls' joint-top scorer with six goals - a title he currently shares with striker Brett Williams.
The former Braintree wide man is hotly tipped to be amongst the front runners in the Gulls' Player of the Year awards, and despite leaving Solihull's Damson Park on crutches - following a challenge with Regan Charles-Cook, which earned the Moors' defender a red card - could be fit on Saturday against Chester FC.
Other midfield goal-getters include Luke Young, who has netted five times, Aman Verma twice and Sam Chaney once in the FA Cup replay against Woking. In defence, Giancarlo Gallifuoco has found the target three times, whilst Sean McGinty and Ben Gerring - currently on loan at Truro City - have both netted twice.
They will nearly all be required to add to those respective tallies between now and the end of the campaign on 29th April against North Ferriby United.
Young Irish striker Ruairi Keating has proved that he start games effectively after a number of promising cameo appearances from the subs bench.
Keating lead the Gulls' attack at both the Racecourse Ground and Damson Park and earned rave reviews for his work rate, commitment and desire, and if he can add a few more goals then Kevin Nicholson may have quite a player on his hands.
Momentum is a key word in football and by picking up four points from the previous six available, the Gulls are now out of the relegation zone and have the likes of Braintree and Maidstone looking over their shoulder.
