David Wotherspoon has become a goal-scoring midfielder for St Johnstone.
And the former Hibs man has set himself a double figures target for the campaign.
Saturday’s equaliser against Motherwell took his 2015/16 tally to seven.
It’s a far cry from the days when he was going months at a time without finding the net, and long may it continue.
“It’s great to get on the scoresheet again,” Wotherspoon said. “That’s seven for the season now.
“I’m happy with the way it’s going in front of goal, I’ve needed to add goals to my game for a while.
“The manager has been telling me to shoot more and I’m also getting a wee bit of luck with the ball bouncing my way.
“I am just keeping trying to hit the target and hopefully I’ll be able to get to double figures.
“But the main thing is about helping the team.”
A win or a draw in tonight’s rearranged clash with Partick Thistle at Firhill would take Saints back into fourth.
A run of nine games without a victory has been ended and now the Perth men want to create some positive momentum.
“It was a great win over Motherwell and I think we deserved it because we had opportunities in the second half,” Wotherspoon said.
“We have been in this situation before, fighting for the top six.
“People had been looking at us going down the way instead of up, we’re only a point off fourth with games in hand so we’re in a great position.
“So we’re looking forward to the Partick game now and hopefully building on last weekend.”
Saturday’s match was played on a bumpy McDiarmid Park surface, and Thistle’s isn’t likely to be any better this evening.
But Wotherspoon would still “rather play on grass” than an artificial pitch.
“At the moment I think grass pitches are probably best,” he said. “I just feel that once you have trained or played on astro you do feel your body aching a bit more.
“A few of the boys have been joking about it and how they’ll be out of a job.
“So we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
“If we got one, it would be a wee bit of a struggle but we’d push through it.
“We’d have to take care of our bodies a bit more and we have the likes of Steven MacLean who can’t play on it.
“I don’t know what it is about them, it’s not real grass and it is different from playing on the real thing.
“You don’t get the same feel from them.
“I would rather be playing on grass, if a pitch is playable then you would prefer it even if it’s not in the best shape.
“Artificial surfaces don’t have as much give as grass, you don’t tend to get the right bounces or it’s quite zippy.
“The ball skids off the surface and things like that.”
