McConville "delighted" with winning goal

Sean McConville admitted he was delighted to get his name on the score sheet after scoring Stanley’s only goal in their victory over Stevenage.

McConville netted with a well taken goal in the 66th minute, before John Coleman’s men held out to record their first win in seven outings.

“The gaffer’s been on my case all week,” admitted the 21 year old. “I’m happy to have scored, in fact I’m delighted.”

Stanley’s number 11 believes the Reds battled hard for the three points.

“Against physical teams you have got to grind out and I thought we did play reasonably well. We stuck in there and got our tackles in and sometimes you have got to win like that.”

“It was a dirty game but we are over the moon by getting the three points,” he admitted.

Three points has put Stanley 13th in the league table on 20 points, just above Bradford where Coleman’s men travel to on Tuesday night.

McConville believes the result over Stevenage gives them momentum going into the fixture.
“The result has put us in good stead now,” he said. “On the back of three points I think we can go to Bradford and be confident.”

“In front of a hostile crowd we can get the ball down and play like we know we can and beat them.”

The midfielder, who is now on six goals for the season is confident about the near future.

“If we can get at least a win and a draw then we are right back in the play offs again and I think with the side we’ve got, that is where we should be looking.”
