“Wherever the manager wants you to play you just get on and do your job for the team, three points is the main thing,” he said.

“The 4-5-1 formation seems to be working really well for us. parky scored the other goal today so it is certainly paying dividends.

“There’s a real attacking threat about the side, there’s so many players who can grab a goal now, and there is plenty of strength on the bench.”

McGonigle believes the Bannsiders can push for honours this season.
