Goal that got away still rankles with Ton ace

MORTON forward Kudus Oyenuga may have scored his first goal for the club last Saturday, but as with all good strikers, he was far from satisfied with just the solitary strike.

While pleased to have made an impact in the game, coming on as a substitute to score within two minutes and rescue a point for Morton against Dumbarton, Oyenuga felt he could have won the game for the Cappielow side.

He said: “Obviously it was good to come on and score, a great feeling.

“The gaffer put me on and it was great to score with my first real touch, but I’m disappointed with the two chances I should have scored.

“Regardless of the team’s performance, I’m just disappointed I didn’t win it for the boys. I could have got us the three points.

“As a forward, the chances you miss play on your mind more than the goal you did score. So it’s mixed emotions because I could have won it – and I’m gutted for the boys.

“But I’m happy to get a point because it’s obviously better than none. You have to take the positives. I’ll hopefully have more chances this season to put the ball in the back of the net.”

The former Hartlepool and Dundee United attacker is still working his way back to full fitness, and he has vowed to the Morton faithful that there is much more to come from him.

“I’m working hard to get up to speed,” he said.

“I didn’t really have a full pre-season so I’m just obviously catching up now and need to keep on going and working hard.

“I’ve been doing running at training and doing extra afterwards, more running and a bit of finishing to get myself sharper.

“The boys are great, all really top notch guys. Since I’ve come here the boys have treated me like I’ve been here forever.”
