There’s still a lot more to come from us, says Slew
JORDAN SLEW says there is still a lot more to come from him and FC Halifax Town.
The Shaymen have won seven of their first 11 games this season, with Slew scoring four goals.
Town are third in the National League, just three points off top spot, and Slew has been part of an attractive style of football from Pete Wild’s team that has won them plenty of admirers.
“It’s been fantastic, obviously we’re on a great run and we need to keep that going,” he said.
“We’re still getting to know each other, it’s still early days but we’re gelling really well and we just need to keep the run going. It’s been a good start for me, I’ve got four goals already and I just need to get more. It’s still early days, it’s a good start but there’s still a long way to go.”
Slew’s four goals mean this is already his most prolific season since the 2016-17 campaign.
“I think it’s the understanding that I’m able to do what I’m best at, play out wide and run at players and get my shots off,” he said. The manager told me what they wanted to achieve this season and it suited everything that I’m about so it was obviously a no-brainer to sign here, and it’s proved so far that it’s working.
“They told me what they wanted from their front-three and it just suited everything I’m about, all the detail about how we want to play.”
Slew was part of the Morecambe squad that earned a unlikely promotion from League Two last season, although he missed the end of the campaign after breaking his ankle in March.
When asked to compare his experience with Morecambe and any potential repeat performance with Halifax, Slew said: “It’s different in that the leagues are different and Morecambe’s style was different, it was the winning mentality and the grit, it wasn’t always pretty but we knew how to win.
“That was the most important thing to our success last year, everyone knew their jobs, and it’s the same here, just in a different way.
“Hopefully I can get another promotion here.”
