He said, “I feel like I can score goals from anywhere on the pitch. I am trying to beat last season’s goal tally so that’s coming into my head.
“You’ve got to be in the right position to score. If you’re standing outside the box, then the ball is not going to get to you.
“When it falls to you, you’ve got to hit sweetly. It was important to get the win; the draws are good against tough sides away from home, but it was great to win in front of our own fans.”

“We take every game as it comes. We’re doing our best to try and win every game and we want to keep that unbeaten run going.”
