Jonjo Dickman is not afraid to admit that goals aren't usually a strong part of his game, but after scoring against Oxford at the weekend, the Darlington midfielder wants more.

For a player who wears the No 10 shirt, Dickman was on target for only the second time this season in Saturday's 2-0 win at the Kassam Stadium.

The 24-year-old showed a cool head, gliding the ball home from 25 yards out - a finish any League Two striker would take pride from.

Dickman's only other goal this season came against Cheltenham in October, and the former Sunderland midfielder admitted: "I've never been a great goalscorer, but it's always nice to chip in with a goal.

"I'm getting forward a lot lately and I think I was due a goal after missing a couple of chances recently.

"I scored earlier in the season against Cheltenham and it would be nice to help out with a few more.

"As a midfielder I don't really set any goal targets, but the more the better if it means taking some of the pressure off the front lads."

Dickman's 47th minute strike set the tone for a much-improved second half performance at Oxford, capped by Simon Johnson adding a second goal in injury time.

The win moved David Hodgson's men up to seventh in League Two, ahead of Saturday's visit of Mansfield Town.

"It was good to get a goal, but the most important thing was that we won," said Dickman.

"We've put a good run together, which has eased a lot of pressure on the lads.

"Now it's important that we don't sit back and make sure we build on what we've achieved lately.

"We have a lot more belief now and we know we're capable of winning games."

Despite a plethora of midfield options at Hodgson's disposal, Dickman, who moved to Darlington from Sunderland on a free transfer in March last year, has been a regular in the Quakers side this season.

"It's great to be involved every week and hopefully I can stay fit and help the club do well," said Dickman.
