Aaron Williams will never forget AFC Telford goal

The striker, brought to the New Bucks Head from League One Walsall, headed home a superb Ryan Valentine cross with nine minutes left to leave John Psaras' side a goal behind and on the verge of a stirring comeback.

But it was not to be as the Cards recovered to win 5-2.

Yet Williams enjoyed his moment of glory and is now hungry for more, starting with tonight's trip to Macclesfield.

He said: "That was my first senior goal. I was a great moment for me. It was just a flick-on. I should have scored one more but If I get service like that I would back myself to score a few more, definitely.

"'Valo' put a great cross in and I was lucky enough to make it my header."

That goal was just reward for three hard-working displays by the West Brom-born 19-year-old since his arrival from Walsall, starting with the Bucks' home game against Macclesfield 10 days ago.

On that occasion Telford went down 2-0 in a disappointing display, which saw the players and then-caretaker boss Graham Hyde jeered off the pitch by a small section of supporters.

There has since been a whirlwind of change at the club with Hyde resigning, players Jordan Rose and Jake Reid departing on loan, James Spray being recalled from his own loan at Stourbridge, and assistant manager Alex Meechan coming in to assist new caretaker boss John Psaras.

But Williams has been impressed by the morale in the Bucks camp since his arrival, especially in the second half against Woking.

And he said there was a determination to make amends for the previous encounter against Macclesfield when the team travels to Moss Rose tonight.

"The lads morale against Woking was superb," he said. "We are looking forward to getting back on the pitch and showing the fans that we can pull ourselves out of the situation we are in and we can perform as a team.

"And we owe Macclesfield, they did beat us at home so hopefully we can turn it round away."

Williams also defended his side's overall display against the Cards on Saturday, in which the Bucks conceded five goals for the first time this season.

And he has taken confidence from one of the Bucks' most impressive displays of attacking football for weeks.

"I don't think defensively we were that bad. It was just a few mistakes, one on my part, and some sloppy goals but attacking-wise we did really well," he said.

And Williams is hoping he can bring an extra goal threat to the Bucks' attack in the coming games after showcasing a talent for long throw-ins in recent games.

"That was just my dad over the local park, and him just saying ' can you throw us the ball?' I just picked a ball up and realised I could throw it quite far," he explained.

"I have just developed it and especially over the last few years since (Stoke's) Rory Delap's been involved with long-throws, it's been added into the game."
