Second-half goals from Michael Cheek and Kamarl Grant earned last season’s National League play-off winners a comfortable victory.
And the Ravens boss was thrilled to see his charges pick up where they left off last term.
“I was really conscious that we didn’t go away from what we are about,” Woodman said.
“Just because we’ve gone up a league, everyone suddenly thinks that we have got to do something different.
“We know what we are, we are a hard-grafting, high-energy team that will work its socks off, and are dangerous at set-pieces the game plan was the game plan and that was our game plan all last season, and we executed it perfectly today.
“I’ve just said to the lads in the dressing room that, last season, Sutton won 5-1 in their first game and got relegated, so this counts for nothing today.
“It’s just the first block of the building process for this season.”
