Town striker Pablo Couñago says he is determined to win a starting place in Joe Royle's side. The Spaniard netted Town's second goal against Millwall after coming off the bench.
Couñago looked far more like the player who topped the Town scoring charts two years ago and says he is looking forward to getting more time on the pitch: "I don't have to convince Joe. He knows what I can do as do the other players. I will continue to work hard, the window is shut so perhaps I will get more playing time.
"People know I can play but it is difficult when you are not playing, not just for me but all the players."
Manager Joe Royle recently criticised the former Celta Vigo man's attitude after several poor performances. However, he says there is no personal animosity and he wants him to go out and impress him: "My relationship with Pablo is fine. He keeps his own counsel and he has felt that I have probably ignored at times when he feels he should have played.
"My answer to him is that if you play like that Pablo, it is hard to leave you out.
"He has special talent. He is strong for his size, he is exceptionally quick which he doesn't use enough and he showed that he can win a big header.
"If you add that to a bit hard work it is a potent force for us, so I just hope he picks it up."
