Kilworthfox Posted 13 January 2008 Posted 13 January 2008 Howard Delighted With First Strike Posted on: Sat 12 Jan 2008 link Steve Howard has vowed to "bang a few more in" after his first for the Foxes helped steer them to a 2-0 victory over Midlands rivals Coventry City at the Walkers Stadium. Barry Hayles also found the back of the net for the first time since his move from Plymouth and Howard, who signed from Derby earlier this month, was delighted with the outcome. He said: "It's always nice to get your first goal for your new club but first and foremost it was nice to win the game and get some points on the board.

Manager Ian Holloway fielded five of his six new signings in the starting line-up and it paid dividends as the players left the field to a standing ovation. Howard added: "There were several new faces out there today but I thought we gelled well together and I am sure we will continue to improve as we work on the training pitches together. "Both the Hungarians are good players and good talents while Matt Oakley is a quality player who I enjoyed playing with at Derby." The Foxes are up to 19th in the Championship table ahead of next Saturday's trip to Norwich City. "I think everyone knows this club is moving in the right direction and the fans can appreciate that," the striker added. "That's certainly why I signed. If we keep turning in performances like that then we will climb the table. "It's a great place to be when we are winning and all the players feel something is happening at this club, if not this season, then next. "It was a good atmosphere here today and was enjoyable to play in."
Flynny Posted 13 January 2008 Posted 13 January 2008 Steve Howard has vowed to "bang a few more in" Sure that wasn't Alnwick? My work here is done.
Flynny Posted 13 January 2008 Posted 13 January 2008 I seemed to have jinxed this thread with a poor joke. Nice.
Joe. Posted 13 January 2008 Posted 13 January 2008 He'll definitely bang in some more goals this season, I have no doubts about that. I'm making love juices over this midfield now.
the_bowman Posted 13 January 2008 Posted 13 January 2008 Howard speaks! I know he's from Derby, but I'm sure we realised that already
