Diafra Sakho claims he can make up for lost time by still targeting his 20 goal target despite only scoring 5 so far this season.
“Honestly, my recovery’s going very well,” Sakho told whufc.com. “Even though it’s been a lot quicker than what I’d thought, I’m in a hurry to come back because I promised to score 20 goals and at the moment I’m only on five in all competitions. So that leaves 15.!
“I’m going to try right until the end to keep to my word. Even if the fans say, ‘the whole season he only played 20 or so games’, I hope, in the games that I’m going to play, to respect my words. That’s very important to me.
“I want to play right now. I need to play right now, but Stijn says ‘No, no, I have to wait’. I’m working very hard with Stijn and with Eamon, and at home as well.”
Good that Stijn is holding him back, he should know well from his off road excursion to somebodys garden that putting your foot on the gas too soon can lead to an early breakdown and cost you in the long run 😉 I am looking forward to seeing him back again soon though he stretches the opponents further up the pitch than Valencia does and I think ifwe an get them both on the pitch at the same time could be that missing link that is stopping us beating the teams below us in the table.
