What they Said
"I think I'm good for at least 20 goals this season.
โThere are chances to be taken and I see no reason why I shouldn't take them now.
โMy confidence is coming back.
โThe first goal against Preston was among the fastest I have ever scored and after the second I thought there was a real chance of a hat-trick.
โIn the second half pat McMahon left me with a chance and I tried a shot that I though was going to bring goal number three, but it went just wide of the post.โ
Andy Lochhead.
