YOUNG striker Joe Mason is looking to score his first goal of what could be a special season.

After making the breakthrough last year, the 19-year-old is looking for even more regular involvement in the first-team and scoring goals in League 1.

Mase came on as a substitute in the weekend draw with Carlisle and was delighted to see fellow-striker Rory Patterson notch a dramatic late equaliser.

"I am happy with how it's gone so far," said Mase. "My aim was to be involved with the squad and I was happy to get on against Carlisle, and it was a great feeling to get a point in the last minute.

"Rory Patterson is obviously number one at the moment and I have to get a goal as well because confidence is a big thing.

"As a striker, you just want to score goals. If I can get a goal as soon as possible, I'm confident I can score goals in this league and do a job for the team.

"If we have three or four players getting into double figures, we should be alright.

"I feel most comfortable as a striker but if I'm asked to play out wide, I obviously will. It is up to me to work hard on the training ground and take the chance if it comes."
