Nathan Dyer says he is targetting goals rather than awards after the weekend win over Leicester
The Swansea City winger is a leading contender for the player of the year award after a host of impressive performances as the Swans chase a play off position.
However, he has been disappointed by his return in front of goal to date this season - his solitary strike ironically was a header in the 3-2 win over Cardiff at the Liberty Stadium.
But as the season moves towards the business end the former Southampton man is looking to change that as he told the Evening Post. v"I would like more goals than man-of-the-match awards," said Dyer.
"I'm happy with my form, it has been pretty consistent, but a few goals wouldn't go amiss.
"The gaffer does say to me when I get into certain positions that I look to cross rather than go for goal myself.
"That is because that was drummed into me at an early age, but I am getting out of that habit.
"I tried a few shots against Leicester — I miss-hit one — but at least I'm getting into that mind-frame of going for goal.
"I want to get more and the other lads have the same belief.
"The wingers do need to chip in and get involved.
"Cotts has a great shot on him and scored a good goal against Leicester in the cup, but as wingers we need to test the keeper more than look for the extra pass.
"Cotts has shown that we can score goals from outside the box.
"We've done shooting exercises all season and the gaffer wants us to go for goal more often, and it is something we are working on.
"We have different players on the wings, which is handy for the manager," added Dyer.
"We have Cedric (van der Gun), Tom Butler, Cotts and myself and the gaffer can mix and match whichever way he wants.
"We all have to work hard in order to get onto the teamsheet — there's no guarantees at this club.
"But knowing that you have to work so hard in the week to get into the team is only a good thing.
"It really drives you on and keeps you focused."
