PATRICK Hoban is not troubled by his barren run in front of goal – as long as Oxford United are getting results.

The 23-year-old is due to make his tenth start for the club tomorrow when Plymouth Argyle visit and is still waiting to get off the mark.

Hoban’s performances have won praise from teammates and coaching staff, though, as United have picked up eight points from their last four games.

The Irishman is aching to chip in himself, but insists his priority is on the team continuing to perform.

He said: “As a unit we are tightening up and we do have the players to score the goals, believe it or not I’m one of them.

“General play has been quite decent for me so far and it would be nice to add goals.

“But we’re getting results and, at the end of the day, I’m a team player.

“It would be nice to get off the mark, but I’m confident it will come soon.

“It’s not about personal glory for me, the team is doing very well.”
