Jamie Shaw admits he is struggling to find a reason why he should get the nod ahead of prolific striker Miles Hunter for Sleaford Town's game against Raunds tomorrow in the United Counties League Premier Division (3pm).

Hunter has beaten Shaw's record of 43 goals in a season for Sleaford when he reached 45 with a brace against Holbeach last month.

His form has meant Shaw has had a bit-part this season, but the 30-year-old is pleased to see Hunter performing well for Town.

"From a personal point of view I've not played as much as I would have liked," said Shaw (pictured).

"I have been playing in midfield, which is okay but not my preferred position. I'm happy to do a job and hope that I can stay in the team.

"I understand if the manager is going to pick a team that is going to get him the right result.

"I would be stuck in a long argument to try to convince him that he should pick me ahead of Miles Hunter."
