Jason Scotland Hungry To Open His Goalscoring Account With Wigan Athletic
T&T international gunning for goals.
Nov 6, 2009 4:33:03 AM
For Jason Scotland, goals in a Swansea City shirt were never hard to come by as he maintained a consistent 1:2 goals to games ratio; however, Wigan Athletic's summer signing is yet to trouble opposition goalkeepers in the Premier League.
The 30-year-old forward is hoping to remedy that feat by opening his goalscoring account for the Latics, and told the official website of the Premier League: "I'm hungry for my first goal.
"Each week goes by without a goal and it makes me hungrier and hungrier, but I have to be patient, keep working hard and believing that it will come.
"It's important to play for the team and not become obsessed with scoring for my own benefit. That way, when the goal does come it will be to the benefit of the team."
He added: "The guys have been telling me to be patient and that it will come eventually and, although it gets frustrating at times, as a striker I've got to stay focused and be patient.
"If you try to rush things and force a goal by shooting on sight, it can be detrimental to the team and ruin your pattern of play."
The £2 million recruit's barren run stretches to seven league games.
