Nathan Dyer believes that he can score more goals after opening his season with a brace at QPR

He said: “I don’t think I have scored two in a game since I was about 12. I was really pleased to score and pleased with the chances I got. I was getting into the box and trying to hurt defenders.

“I know can score goals – I’ve been scoring goals in training.

“I didn’t really get the chance to come inside (last season) and I’m right footed playing on the right so when I do come inside I’m on my left.

“This year the gaffer wants me to come inside more and get into the box, that’s benefited me and I’m pleased with that.

“The manager reckons we’ll benefit from the wingers playing slightly closer to the striker and personally I agree. We can make runs and passes rather than being too far away.

“It’s just a question of getting in the right areas and having confidence.

“I need to make sure when we’re attacking I’m in that area because if you’re not in the right area you can’t score.

“Michael was a great player in his time so the knowledge he’s going to bring to the team is going to be phenomenal.

“We’ll learn from him, that’s what we’ve been doing in pre-season. We created a lot of chances against QPR and we took them.”
