I said his work rate was absolutely outstanding,\u00a0and he&#8217;s been a real good focal point for us the last few games,\u201d he explained.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cHe&#8217;s really come into his own and shown how good of a player that he is. I said to him yesterday, \u2018If you keep working as hard as you are,\u00a0you&#8217;ll get your rewards, you&#8217;ll get your goals, because it&#8217;s coming\u2019.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cTonight, he was excellent again. He led the line well, held the ball up,\u00a0brought people into play, and what he did which matters the most is he gets in the right areas.\u00a0He&#8217;s in the six-yard box twice and taps it in twice for us, so I&#8217;m delighted for him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sam Dalby bagged a brace as the Whites made it back-to-back home wins to keep up the pace&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":394662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-394661","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
