'˜If he came home with your daughter you'd be proud' - which Stags player is Steve Evans talking about?
Hamilton barely figured under previous manager Adam Murray.
Current boss Steve Evans smiled: “CJ was outstandingly good on Tuesday after being outstandingly rubbish at Swindon last weekend!
“We are working hard with CJ to get some consistency as when he’s at the top of his game, he’s a handful for any defender. It doesn’t matter what level you are.

“He has played a big part since we came in. We identified very quickly the boy’s got that type of pace. He’s got a great left foot. He’s got the biggest heart in the world.
“He’s a great kid. If he came home with your daughter you’d be proud.”
It’s a far cry from the forgotten player Evans found when he took over the club.

“The nice thing is he’s earned this. We’ve not done anything.
“We just looked at him and thought ‘you’re good enough to play in our team’. If he plays like he did the other night he’ll be a big reason why we achieve what we are trying to do.”
