Wilkinson is delighted with the unity at Grosvenor Vale as 1,323 watched their second home success already.
“The fans here can be the extra man and we gave them plenty to get behind,” he said. “It was a great atmosphere and a really good night.
“When we are as one here we are unstoppable and I’m proud of everyone associated with the club.
“Overall I’m really pleased with the seven points. It could have been more but beating a really good Woking side is a real positive step forward.”
