Jordan Bowery wants more goals to repay Nigel Clough's faith in him
Jordan Bowery wants to repay Nigel Clough's faith in him by scoring more goals.
The attacker notched his second of the season to secure a point against Southend United on Saturday, believes getting back on the scoresheet can only boost his confidence.
“It does a lot for a striker because you want to score goals. I’ve said in the past it’s a little disappointing I haven’t scored more than two but I’m just going to keep going," he said.
“I can’t let my head drop.
"Credit to the staff, they’re still picking me regardless of how many goals I’ve got so I just have to repay them and try to get more goals.
“I’m not going to give up – I’ll keep going whether it’s assists or whatever – I’ll do my best to help the team."
Reflecting on Saturday's draw, Bowery added: "There were highs and lows in it.
“It was good to get the goal back and make it a draw but still disappointing how we played first-half.“Not to be getting the three points, obviously, we’re down there so we need to be getting as many points as we can. In a way, it’s a bit of a disappointment.“It was disappointing. We came in at half-time and we knew it, the gaffer knew it, and as soon as they got their goal it gave them a lot of confidence.
“We’ve gone in there (at half time) disappointed knowing it was a very low performance and the gaffer came in. (He) gave us a good telling off and we deserved it.
“We’ve gone out there, changed formation and it’s made a difference so hopefully we can go out next game and have a good two halves."
