Chesterfield striker Caleb Folan has been backed to hit the goals trail on a consistent basis after breaking his long-standing duck in Saturday's 5-1 win against Millwall.
The 22-year-old former Leeds youngster had not found the net since the 2-2 draw against Barnsley on January 3, 2005, but rediscovered his scoring touch with a fine strike following a flowing move for the Spireites' third goal of the game.
Assistant boss Lee Richardson was delighted with Folan's performance and feels the goal will boost his confidence.
He said: "Caleb took his goal very well, it's worth watching again because it really was excellent. I didn't realise it had been quite so long since his last goal, it's unbelievable really because he produces that sort of thing in training quite often.
"He's a player who frustrates sometimes because with his size, pace and power you expect that sort of dynamic display more often.
"But he murdered Millwall, they couldn't get near him, and he thoroughly deserved his goal. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come from him and he will grow in confidence now."
