Gunnarsson wants more goals
Midfielder is buzzing Coventry City's Icelandic international midfielder Aron Gunnarsson is keen to add to his season's one goal tally. Gunnarsson scored the equaliser last Saturday at Middlesbrough, but has admitted he should have scored more goals for the Sky Blues this season. The midfielder who turned 21 last week said f his goal at The Riverside, “It was my first of the season and it might be too late to help the team but I am just buzzing for the lads to have got us a goal at Middlesbrough because we definitely deserved it. I went into the box and Freddy Eastwood pulled out and had a shot which the keeper saved and I got on the rebound and just passed it in." Then he reflected on the chances he had but missed, saying, "I am just happy to get at least one goal this season and hopefully I will get another on Sunday against Watford, but I really enjoyed it and want to get more next season." " I had a one on one chance at Crystal Palace which was probably the easiest chance ever to score and I didn’t but I have spoken to Frankie Bunn, who was obviously a big goal scorer in his time, and he told me to just have a look at the keeper and pass it in because it is not as hard as it looks." “You can put yourself under pressure thinking you have to think quickly but you have to be calm on the ball and relaxed and just pass it in. That’s how simple it is.” Manager Chris Coleman gave Gunnarsson a more attacking role last week and said, “He could have scored more goals, but he’s still young and sometimes he doesn’t quite understand when he’s got to go. However much you work with young players that’s what it’s like." "For the first 20 minutes he never got forward, never went past our strikers, but he did that a lot better in the second half – he ran in behind their back four and caused them problems. That’s what we’re working on.” Gunnarsson is now looking ahead to the last game of the season, at home to Watford on Sunday (all Championship games kick off at 1:00pm), he said, “I thought we were playing well in the first half when we were basically popping them off the pitch but we weren’t getting anywhere." “All the play seemed to be in the middle and we didn’t really get anywhere to be honest, but we put some hard work in and were pleased to get the goal back for the fans who we really appreciate going up to support us." “Boro are a good team for breaking on other teams and we knew that before the game so it was a shame that we conceded a goal like that, but we fought back and we felt we could have won in the end when Shaun Jeffers had a good chance, and we had another after that. No-one can tell us that we didn’t play well and put a shift in." "We are in a positive frame of mind and that takes us into the Watford game with a better feeling and into the holidays looking forward to next season.”
