Three former Bulls strikers are looking to hit the goal trail this weekend.
Recently departed Stuart Fleetwood told Luton News he was looking to get off the mark for the season quickly: "Once I get one goal I tend to get on a little streak. I will have a lot of confidence when I settle into this team and I have no problems with my ability and believe in myself. I have a target but I never tell anyone so there’s no pressure on me."
At Reading, Mathieu Manset is looking for a partnership with new arrival Adam Le Fondre. The Frenchman wants to become one half of a 'little and large' partnership with the former Rotherham man, telling the Reading Post:
“I think it is a good combination. I can try and hold the ball up and Alfie can make something, we will have to wait and see though. I can’t say whether or not I deserve a start, that’s down to the manager, but I hope I will start on Saturday.
“I like it that the fans like me too, it makes me feel good and I want to get better and better. I’m young, the coach is good and he talks a lot with me. I trust him and I’ll wait for my chance. I want to score 15 goals, and then if I get there, the next target is 20 and then 25.”
While down in Conf North, Lee Morris has told the Eastwood and Kimberley Advertiser that the Eastwood team that he both plays for and coaches need to start scoring soon:
"Obviously it's a concern that the goals have dried up recently, but we've already shown this season that the team has goals in it and we need to start producing again. We need to capitalise more on things like set-pieces and getting more goals from midfield, because we have players all over the pitch who can score but at the moment the pressure has been on the strikers to do so."
Morris says he is enjoying the part-time nature of his role with the Badgers: "The main difference is time, in that with things like training and so on there's never enough of it to cover everything you want to do. But on a personal level, going part-time has helped me. Last season I was travelling every day from Derby to Hereford and then Kidderminster and it takes its toll.
"It's also better from a fitness point of view given the injuries I've had in the past and I'm confident I'll get plenty of football this season."
