Evergreen Nicky Southall has spoken today of wanting to continue his recent goalscoring exploits, which has seen him net 4 goals in our last three games, gaining us 9 points into the bargain, keeping us in our lofty eyrie atop League One. He believes this to be the most prolific spell in his career, and certainly a chance to continue against ailing Brentford on saturday in the league will be a tempting prospect – even if he doesn’t feature against them in the cup tomorrow. He said:
‘I don’t think I have done that before in my career, it may be some sort of record for me. Hopefully it will continue,’ he said. ‘I don’t want the run to stop, it is vital that we score goals and I have been fortunate enough to get them in the last few weeks.
‘If mine dry up somebody else will come along and get them. It doesn’t matter who is scoring them, as long as somebody does.’
Nicky has been working tremendously hard this season, and his performances mask the fact he’s actually getting on a bit – some of our younger players would do well to try to emulate his work rate. It’s true he isn’t a pacey tricky winger who’ll beat his man – but he does give us excellent delivery into the box, as well as a knack of arriving unmarked at the back stick to stick the ball in the onion bag.
Keep up the good work, Nicky!
