After a certainly late start with York, the Stones gleamed in a 3-0 victory that emphasized walking on Saturday, earning a hat-trick.
The striker opened up the score in just five minutes when he latched a furious volley into a knock-on from Tyree Sinclair's header before tying past Will Jaskelain.
He doubled his and York tally in the afternoon when he met Alex Hunt's ball and defeated Jaaskareinen again, but the Stones believe the goalkeeper should have kept it out.
With Lenell John-Lewis stripped and ready, the Stones finished scoring the day with an incredible header surrounded by top corners, giving Joe Felix another assist in the tally of the season Ta.
The Stones were all smiles after York's “huge three points.” The third goal acknowledged that he was one of his favorites ever won.
“I think it was a massive three-pointer,” the Stones told BBC York.
“We obviously won late last week, so we got three points, so we had to build something.
“When we get into our own ground, we are always confident, and that's another big three points.
“A hat trick to go with that!
I recommend reading:
“The first one just fell on me in a box after the corner. Those second balls as a striker, you're always living on them.
“The second one, the Keeper should have saved it, but he needed something to go to you.
“The third one was probably one of my favorite goals I've ever won.
“The header was behind me. I was able to nod by jumping it into the far corner with some defenders and keepers.
“I always like to bring myself back into the air, and I think that's one of the main things I specialize in.
“As soon as Joe got the ball, Joe was amazing in the US for a week.
“As soon as he gets it, he knows he's going to have quality delivery. I can always peel it off the defender and he can get in touch with you.
“He couldn't see you if it was behind him, so as soon as it was in the air, I knew it was coming and I had the idea of crossing the goal. .
“It completely missed.”
It broke all the important first goal rules of stone that he never wavered by his belief that he would run in a red shirt right away.
He has been much more confident and talked about his ability to deal with the pressure of finding his first goal for a new club.
The 21-year-old continued.
“Today I put a little pressure on myself because I am scoring for another team in this league.
“I know what we can do in this league, and as soon as they came in, they all started to get in.
“I think it can be hard to put pressure on yourself when you have quality around you like you do.
“Hunty (Alex Hunt) in the midfield, Batty, California (Calmhow), Harrison (male) in the net, Joe and both wingers.
“The team is kidding. It's hard to be under pressure when you know the quality you have around you.
“Even if you don't have the best game, the players around you will then dig into you.”
Adam Hinshelwood returns from his one-game suspension at a post-game press conference on who will lead the line at Ebsfleet United (3pm) next Saturday. I admitted that I have decided to do so.
The Stones didn't have that otherwise, acknowledging the level of training his new manager has implemented among the team.
“During the day, we all make big decisions for him.
“The quality of the training, I have never trained in a place where I was very high and very strong.
“I think you can see that on the pitch.
“I gave him a decision, but no matter what team he chose, we are a strong team and even if we are facing, the people we face I think we have a problem regardless. Everyone is trying to solve it.”
York continued to occupy the third position after Forest Green Rovers scored an even slower winner in the match against Eastlee, but Burnett dropped the points in a goalless draw at Boston United.
The Stones reiterated that the city still appears in that promotion conversation, but the focus needs to remain on them, rather than the outcome of the title competitors.
“The young people were wonderful and as soon as I settled down, I needed something like that today to completely solidify.
“It should be a special season and we hope to be in the (soccer) league next year.
“I think it would (go to the wire soon), they are all quality teams.
“When I was in Oldham, the first thing you do when you went to the dressing room is to check out York, Forest Green and Barnett.
“The main thing is to focus on us. If we are winning, it's obviously important to what happens around us to some extent, but if you are winning, it's Everything is important.
“All we can do is choose three points: we come home playing Barnett, Forest Green and there are some big games.
“These are times when we see who wants it and I think we're there.”
