McIlroy: Jevons made the difference

Jevons scored the only goal of the game with a sweet left-footed volley after 18 minutes following a goalmouth scramble, much to the delight of McIlroy whose side completed a domestic double over the Valiants."Once again Jevons made the difference," he beamed. "He had one chance and he took it and I don't think there is anyone better in the box at this level. He is always a danger and with the superb support of Paul Mullin we are always likely to cause problems every time we put the ball in the box."McIlroy admitted his side had to battle for an important win against a side that sat one place below the Shrimps before the start of play.He said: "Our home games are going to be vitally important to us if we are to have any chance of the play-offs this season and we have to get results at whatever cost. This was a dogged rather than pretty win but you can't always play attractive football, especially on tricky pitches."Port Vale were close to us in the table so it was a massive win that keeps us hanging on in there around the play-off spots."
