Mulligan: netted twice at the Galpharm
"Gary is looking sharp and is playing fantastically well," Stimson told the club's official website.

"He knew that he had to step up when I put him in because that is what I ask from my players. If they are given the opportunity then I want them to take it with both hands; and he has. He took his goal brilliantly, rounding the keeper is not easy and his clever little run was a touch of real class."

"Del is a powerful player and works well right on the shoulders of the defence. He wins headers and is powerful. He is working to get hit fitness levels up because, he will be the first to admit, that when I arrived here, he was one that needed to get a little bit sharper. We now need him to keep him free of injuries because as far as I am concerned that was his best performance under me and I want it to continue."
