Manager Shaun Derry was massively impressed by Jimmy Spencer’s debut and hopes he can maintain his level of performance in the remaining 15 games.
Spencer scored a spectacular 25-yard goal in the 3-0 victory over Coventry City and gained the Man of the Match award with a terrific all-round showing.
The former Huddersfield Town striker held up play and hassled the Sky Blues defenders to impress the Meadow Lane crowd and his new gaffer.
“I thought that was a proper number nine’s performance if I’m honest,” said Derry.
“Many times at Meadow Lane this year we’ve had some great performances from forwards but I thought that was a complete performance.
“He enabled us to get up the field and enabled us to support him and he did a great job for the team.”
Derry was also pleased with his other two new recruits, goal-scorer Hayden Mullins and full-back Gareth Roberts.
He added: “We had the backing of the board to get two or three in and i thought all three of the new boys were absolutely outstanding.
“We’ve brought them in for a reason, Hayden’s come in with a vast amount of experience, Jimmy just wants to go and prove himself and Gareth just used his old head at the right times.”
