“We had been actively working to bring in a forward who could make a difference,” manager Spencer said.
“Not only has Harry been that forward, not only has he scored four goals in five games, he’s also had a really positive effect on Dan Forbes.

The Bees have now scored 14 times in their past five games, resulting in three draws and two victories, with Forbes and Wakefield accounting for six of those goals.
“We’ve conceded a few across the last five games as well, but you don’t feel the pressure the same when you’re scoring at the other end,” Spencer added.

Hide Ad“We’ve got a good defence who have played consistently well.
“But when you’re scoring goals it takes some of that pressure off.”
Reflecting on the game, Spencer added: “We scored two late goals to win, but I think the overall scoreline was a fair reflection of the game.

“But if you only lead by one goal you can get caught out, and that’s what happened.”
