I HAVE two aims for this season and both involve going one better than last year.
As a team, we want to go one better than seventh place and get into the play-off positions. Last year, we didn't get off to a brilliant start so need to get off to a good one this season, so we are not chasing teams above us.
We want to be in and around the play-off positions all season, and make teams chase us.
On a personal level, I failed to score last year so I want to go one better and get at least one this season.
I had a few chances in pre-season, and on Saturday had a great shot from 20 yards which skimmed the post. I think the ball's still got paint from the post on it, so I'm getting closer.
I had a couple of chances last year, and even had two goals disallowed in one match — but I'm still waiting for my third career goal, after I scored twice for Coventry.
In training, I can't stop scoring, so it's annoying that I don't in games.
But at Crewe on Saturday, I didn't go up for corners, and I don't know if that's because of my goalscoring record last year, but it's certainly lessened my opportunities.
- Our pre-season signings have really livened up the dressing room, as it was a bit quiet last year.
Kevin McLeod, the scouser, is really loud, and Adam Virgo's back, but Nicky Forster, the skipper, still has the loudest mouth at the club.
