JON MACKEN ended his mid-season goal drought on Saturday with a goal which helped steer PNE ever closer to promotion.
And while his detractors had already started to suggest that the long season was taking its toll on the ex-Manchester United star, his team mates knew he would come good.
Fellow striker Brett Angell, currently fighting it out on the bench, said: "There was never any question about him not scoring.
"Jon was always going to score again and we knew that when he did it would be special - and it was no surprise when he grabbed one against Bristol."
