Planet Swans ArchivesThere is an element of sarcasm when Sinclair refers to the run as a drought but nonetheless he would love to end it at Sheffield United tomorrow as the Swans go in search of a seventh unbeaten away game.
“I’m due a goal very soon — I’m on a barren run,” he told the Evening Post with a smile. “Four games have gone by without me scoring so I have to get one this weekend.
“There are plenty of goals left in me this season, as there are around the team.
“I’m feeling pretty good when I’m on the ball and I’m going into games with the confidence that I can or will score.
“I’ve got 12 already, which is great, but that doesn’t mean to say I’m taking my foot off the gas.
“I’m learning a lot from every game. Teams are throwing two men on me a lot and that has meant I’ve had to adapt my game.
“I have a lot more to learn and I’m glad the manager has given me this opportunity to do that.
“In this league it is all about being consistent,” said Sinclair, who is set to make his 19th league appearance of the campaign tomorrow.
His previous best tally of league games for a season was 18 — including just one start — when he was on loan at Wigan last term.
“The games are coming thick and fast over Christmas so it is important that we all dig in to make sure we come out the other side of December in a strong position,” he says.
“That will be a real test for us. It’s when the strength of the squad really comes to the fore and gives an indication of which clubs can cope.
“The team has done very well to rise to joint second. I feel we have got the quality and characters in this squad to push on even further.”
