Steve Evans pleased with Stevenage’s response to weekend defeat

Stevenage boss Steve Evans said his team used the disappointment of their weekend defeat to bounce back with a 1-0 win at Swindon.

Jamie Reid’s 13th goal of the season was enough to sink Swindon and put his side within one win of promotion to Sky Bet League One.

Evans said: “I think our boys were magnificent. I think we got the team right, the tactics right in how we played.

“We energised the boys after the Mansfield loss on Saturday. We listened to their celebrations, that was hard.

“Sometimes, as the captain said to me on Sunday, it just sparks you again. That’s what it has done.

“We asked the guys to give us a big performance and they’ve given us a big performance. But we know – and you know – we’ve achieved nothing yet. We just go into Saturday and see what we can do.
