Fornah targets more goals for Cobblers after opening his account
Tyrese Fornah admits he wants to contribute with more goals and assists after getting off the mark in last Tuesday’s EFL Trophy win over Wycombe.
The 26-year-old has played well for the most part this season but goal contributions have been in short supply, something which he hopes to rectify.
"It was a really good night all round, not just for myself but also for the team because we want to go as far as we can in the competition,” said Fornah after the 2-0 victory at Sixfields.
“I thought it was a dominant performance and it was important for me to get my first goal. I’ve had to be patient for the goals to come but I always knew that if I kept getting into the right areas and if I’m positive then I will score goals eventually and I’m pleased it’s now happened.
“I want to contribute more because goals and assists are what I’m judged on and stats are a big thing in football in this day and age and I need get my tally up and score more goals for this club.”
Fornah is due to become a father in the new year and he pulled out the dummy celebration after his low shot squirmed through Mikki Van Sas shortly before half-time.
"My partner’s 29 weeks pregnant and she was at the game so that was a little goal for her,” he added. "I was looking for her in the stand and eventually I spotted her so I ran over and saw a big smile on her face and it means a lot for me and my family.
"We’re all getting ready for the big day but we’re just taking it day by day at the moment and I’m really enjoying myself. I’m enjoying my football and I’m also enjoying being around the boys and the camaraderie within the squad so it’s all good.”
