Stephen Dobbie says he is aiming to break the 15 goal barrier after getting of the mark against Preston

The Swansea City man is back at the Liberty Stadium after last seaosn's promotion winning fun at Blackpool and now has his sights set on goals for the Swans.

Dobbie struck the first of Swansea's four goals on Saturday when he fired home from the edge of the penalty area and he says that he is now on the way to his target of at least fifteen goals this season.

He told the Evening Post "Any striker will tell you, if you get more than 15 you're doing pretty well and with the players around me hopefully I can get many more

"It makes a difference with the manager, whether he fancies you or not, and I've loved it under the new gaffer.

"That's what you get when you've got the likes of Nathan Dyer, Sinclair, Cotterill and Pratley playing in behind you," said Dobbie. "You're going to get chances so it's up to me to try to take them.

"When we go away from home we play with a sitter (in midfield), but on Saturday the gaffer tried Cotterill in behind me and it worked fantastically.

"David is skilful enough to thread little balls through and when you've got wingers like ours, they're a joy to play with.

"I'm glad to be back and it's always good to get your first goal of the season early on because if it drags on for four or five games it plays on your mind," he said.

"I can kick on against Norwich next week and I know the boys will be in high spirits.

"I think our possession in the game was more like last year, but then we just couldn't get the goals.

"We scored 40 all last year — so with four on Saturday we're nearly there already.

"I'm sure we'll beat that total this year."
