Ebanks-Blake remains upbeat
Despite enduring a difficult season, Sylvan-Ebanks Blake is trying to stay as positive as possible.[LNB] The Wolves striker has seen his 2009/10 campaign disrupted by injury and a tactical switch which has left him on the sidelines for long periods.[LNB]As a result, the man who helped to fire Mick McCarthy's side into the Premier League has often been resigned to little more than a support role.[LNB]Many had tipped him to make a major impression on the top flight, after notching 25 times last season, but he has been unable to match those expectations.[LNB]A late equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Saturday was just his second goal of the season, having converted from the penalty spot against Aston Villa way back in October.[LNB]Ebanks-Blake admits the season has not gone as he had hoped, but the 24-year-old striker is confident that he can still be a major player at Molineux in the future.[LNB]He said: "I was unfortunate to get injured. I had built up a bit of momentum in the last few years but this season it hasn't happened and it's been difficult.[LNB]"I know some people will be wondering what happened to me, but football is like that.[LNB]"We have changed the system and I've not played as much but the boys have been brilliant.[LNB]"You just have to stay upbeat. I'm very fortunate to be a Premier League player and I'm part of a squad that's staying up.[LNB]"We have grown together as the season has gone on and believed we could play at this level. Teams turn up here and know they're going to be in for a hard game."
