    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The 28-year-old now has five goals and as many assists in League Two this season to help the Red Dragons secure automatic promotion to League One and Parkinson feels his display on Saturday sums up his importance to the team.

  • WHAT PARKINSON SAID

    "His all-round game today was at a very high level," Parkinson told club media. "The way he counter-attacked in the first half, broke the play up and drove the team forward. And what a great finish. There are a couple of elements of that goal - Elliot Lee's pass I thought was top class. And Andy's calmness around the box, it typifies how he's played for us all season."
