Jack Ross
says he still plays a key role in the team’s plans.
“It happens and he feels it because he’s a conscientious player and personality.”
Ross said after the match.
“His contribution since he got back in the team in terms of his all round play has been excellent, and his all round play was good today.
“But, harshly, strikers are always going to be judged on their goal return.
“He knows that, he’s not going to shy away from it, it’s our job to cajole and help our players through any challenging period and he’ll be fine.
“His all round performance and contribution to the team is good.
“A lot of strikers are streaky in terms of the runs they are on, where they feel good in front of goal and other times where they have frustrating periods.”
