I am just delighted to get those 90 minutes under my belt."[LNB]Iwelumo was also pleased to see team-mates Michael Kightly and strike partner Sylvan Ebanks-Blake feature in Wednesday's game after their injury woes.[LNB]Iwelumo continued: "It was great to see Kights and Sylvan back and it was great that they linked up together for Kights' goal.[LNB]"Between us we scored more than 50 league goals last season so it is great to be playing alongside one another again and hopefully we have given the manager a nice selection headache for the trip to Everton in a week or two's time."[LNB][LNB]
