Sharp-shooter Lee Angol relaxed on eye-catching Shrewsbury Town form
Goal-hungry hitman Lee Angol says a relaxed approach is the sure-fire way to add to his early haul for Shrewsbury Town.
The 24-year-old has bagged three goals in four starts for the club so far.
A summer signing from Mansfield, Angol is not content to hang around and is targeting more goals to help John Askey’s side climb the table.
Angol is aware that Town must make last weekend’s victory against Southend count by repeating the trick at Scunthorpe tomorrow.
“It’s what I do. I’m a striker so my job on the pitch is to score,” said the powerful frontman, who scored 11 times for Peterborough in his first full season in the Football League.
“Scoring a lot is a good feeling. It’s early stages, I’ve scored a few but now it’s about how many more I can get and contributing to wins.
“I’m not looking at a target. When you focus too much on scoring you end up not scoring.
“I’ve had games before where I’ve felt ‘I’m scoring today’ and I don’t, it’s frustrating.
“As long as you go out there and put 100 per cent work in then you get rewarded.
“We waited a long time for the first win, now we’re hoping for win after win.
“If we don’t win tomorrow then the win last week does not have as much impact.
“Hopefully we can start stringing them together and have a good run.”
Angol’s sharp finish with his weaker left foot against Southend continued a trend of close-range goals for his new side. The striker admitted the goal was instinctive and believes that he has the knack for being in key positions in front of goal.
“No-one would know because I scored but I shouldn’t have made that run, I should have ran somewhere else,” added the Londoner, who recently became a father for the first time to daughter Romey Leigh.
“It’s instinctive, the way the ball came and everyone ran, the position, it’s all instinctive. The right place, right time, it’s instinctive.
“You don’t practice being in the right place at the right time but when you put work in and put yourself in positions by thinking ahead you end up in positions to score.”
Angol added on the start of his Montgomery Waters Meadow career: “It’s alright but I don’t like to get excited. It’s early. The three goals – I’m trying to turn it into 10 goals.
“I want to keep scoring and be consistent.”
