After the last game at Tranmere, skipper Donervon Daniels spoke of the need to ‘keep the shirt’ when a player gets it, and Comley has played the last two games after starting the Christmas programme on the bench.

He said: “I personally like competition, if you are not doing it then someone else will come and take your place and there is certainly that feeling here, but in a nice way because that is helping spur us on to some good performances and results recently.

“It helps the team out, it is a real good group and that hasn’t always been the case at a few of my other clubs. But it shows here because whilst there’s competition, the spirit on the field shows and that helps individual players.”
