I’m enjoying my role in the team at the moment. I haven’t really played this high up before and the gaffer wants me to get forward and beyond Cody.
You could see the way it worked first half against Shrewsbury last weekend. He had a couple of chances and I managed to get him in behind a couple of times.
We have played together a long time now and know each other’s game – I know where he will be running and it’s easy for me.
We have worked well together and long may it continue.
The Shrewsbury goalkeeper made a good save from Cody early on but he’s not the type of player to just fold after that and I am sure if a chance like that comes again, he will put it away.
He’s such a hard-working player. He does a lot of running and everyone can see that. If he isn’t scoring goals, he is still giving 100% and makes it so hard for the defenders, which makes my job a lot easier.
We knew in the second half last Saturday we weren’t on the front foot as much and the gaffer made that clear. It wasn’t a great goal to concede and overall a draw was fair.
But they are the games we feel we should win and that’s two points dropped.
My last goal was against Millwall at the end of December – my fourth of the season – and it just feels that it is not going for me with goalscoring at the moment.
Things aren’t dropping in front of goal and that is sort of happening with the whole team. I will keep going. Being higher up the field means that I will get in better areas of the pitch to score goals and hopefully they will come soon.
