Stanley welcomes the Bantamus tomorrow behind a mini-intrusion run that scored 10 points from the League 2 drop zone.
They lost a fifth and scored seven points from their final three games at Wham Stadium.
It's a pretty bright picture when he lost to underground club Morekambe six weeks ago, four days after losing 1-0 in the valley parade.
But Captain Sheamus argues that more work should be done before making it easy to breathe.
“The work isn't finished,” he told the club's website. “We need to step into the gas and keep moving forward.
“It certainly felt better than the four points. It was always a target in my mind. I wanted to get double numbers as quickly as possible.
“But there's still work to do. We all have eight games to play there, so we have 24 points and we need to stay focused.”
Ashington's goalless draw at Swindon last weekend was his fourth clean sheet of seven outings. They proved that it's difficult to crack for the city last time until Alex Pattison blows up a scorched goal from outside the box.

Conneely is excited for the rematch in front of the full house in a compact home.
“It's amazing,” the 36-year-old added. “I like kick off at 12.30. You just wake up and get ready for the game, so that's an extra bonus.
“They're going to bring great support to them. I've always said that when the away end is full of WHAM, our fans will always respond to it.
“It's going to be a really good vibe, hopefully we'll give them a lot to cheer.
“They are aiming for promotions and we have their own goals that we are trying to reach. It should be a good game.”
