FOR the second league game running, Oxted went two goals behind before coming back to collect all three points.
Last weekend Oxted beat Bromley & Beckenham 4-2 after being two goals down, and this week they did the same against Cambridge City, winning 3-2.
The Reds found themselves two down after 39 minutes of Sunday's game but a brace from Dafydd Charles either side of a goal from Lorne Barnard earned all three points.
And captain Mike Trim insists he is not worried about his side conceding, but would like to see them being less wasteful in front of goal.
"It was end-to-end in the first half," Trim explained. "We dominated the first half but didn't put our chances away, and we went in at half-time a goal down after Cambridge scored from a breakaway. We had come from behind the weekend before, so we knew we could do it again.
"We then went 2-0 down but we were still the better side throughout.
"We left it until late to grab our goals but the most important thing is we won, and to win even though it was far from our best performance was good as well."
And after losing 7-1 to Cambridge earlier in the season, Trim felt it was retribution for his side.
"We had a good start to the season, but then we lost 7-1 to Cambridge at theirs their's and it started a poor run," Trim said. "We wanted to right that wrong.
"We have Richmond this weekend and we lost 5-2 to them earlier in the season as well, so we'd like to win that and hopefully finish as high up the table as we can."
And as long as Oxted keep winning, Trim does not mind his team conceding goals, believing attack is the best form of defence.
"I hope we don't go two down again but we'll be working on taking more of our opportunities in training, which means hopefully the opposition won't score on the break," the skipper said.
"The way we play, we're going to concede goals. We have a very attacking formation and it does leave us exposed at the back, we just need to make sure we take our chances at the other end."
