Filip Valencic: 'Crawley winner powered with anger towards Ricardo Moniz'

Notts County winger Filip Valencic has criticised former manager Ricardo Moniz for barely selecting him and admitted that his winner against Crawley Town was “powered” with the anger he felt towards the departed Dutchman.

The 24-year-old Slovenian arrived at Meadow Lane in July, but made only two appearances in League Two before Moniz left in December and was replaced by Jamie Fullarton.

Valencic told BBC Sport: "With that shot I put all my anger in it because I didn't play. I thought I would be playing more, not every game, but I really thought I would be paying more.

"I have spoken with Ricardo a couple of times and basically what he told me was that I'm not ready for the first team so I kept playing for the reserves and waiting for an opportunity.

"When the new manager came he gave me the chance and I took it."

    It's good that he's taken the chance presented, I also hope that he continues to do so because the more firepower we have - the better our options will be on match days.

    Sometimes a manager says 'your ready' to gain a reaction, perhaps Moniz didn't see that reaction.

    Onwards & Upwards.
