Bucks ace John Cofie sets 10-goal target for survival

The former Manchester United whizz-kid has so far bagged two in five games, including one substitute's appearance, with strikes against Bradford Park Avenue and AFC Fylde.

And the Ghana-born striker is aiming high to keep the Bucks' survival hopes alive.

"As a striker, now I've started scoring I don't want to ever stop," said the 22-year-old.

"There are 14 games left and if I'm starting all of them, I want to get to 10 goals.

"If I'm getting the games and getting the chances, that's what I want to get. I've set a high mark and I'm going to try to achieve it."

Telford go into a free weekend still bottom and three points adrift of the safety mark, with Lowestoft, who currently occupy the final 'safe' slot, having two games in hand on them.

Cofie admits every game is a 'must-win' for Rob Smith's side now.

"We go into every game wanting to win. "We don't know what the teams above us are going to do so every game is a 'must-win' with where we are," he admitted.

"The last two games haven't turned out the way we wanted, but we played well on Saturday and we'll try to kick on from there.

"The lads all know what we need to do and we intend to work hard every game to do that.

"The gaffer is really good. He speaks to us all and he's a really nice guy to work with. I've really enjoyed it in my time here so far."

Cofie insists Telford have enough about them to survive. "From what I've seen so far, I believe there's enough quality here," he added.

"With the manager's plans, the talent we've got and the workrate, I believe we can get out of it.

"It's hard for any player to be at the bottom of the league and carry on losing so the guys know we've got to rebuild our confidence.

"We've got to get together as a group and build that belief."
