Aveley's improvement will be put to the test when entertaining Hemel Hempstead at Mill Field tomorrow.
Steve Mosely's side haven't been beaten since they rather shot themselves in the foot during the FA Trophy tie against Weymouth when having two players sent off.
They've had no disciplinary problems since and although not always able to call upon their best starting 11 have gone seven league and cup games without defeat.
Key to the success has been the defence which remains the tightest in the division.
Millers have doubts over the fitness of midfielders Kevin Hoddy and Carl Allison, but up front will be encouraged by the recent form of Tommy Lee and Keith Martin with three goals apiece in the past four games.
Hemel, in sixth place, lost to Northwood last weekend to end a run of four straight victories.
Tilbury, a point behind Aveley's opponents, take on mid-table Thame at St Chad's.
