It's all about goals says Saunders

DEAN SAUNDERS wants goals, goals, goals from Wrexham.
Wrexham have a 100 per cent league record under Saunders, scoring 13 goals in the process, to put themselves within touching distance of the top-five.
And Saunders does not want to see any let-up from the Reds in their quest to win games: "I want to be there enjoying it too and say this is how I want it played," he said today.
"I have a belief in the way the game should be played. It is all about scoring goals, not 25 passes in your own half when you are going nowhere.
"You have to pass with purpose and with an end product because football is all about scoring goals."
An injury time defensive error marred Saturday's 3-1 win at Weymouth and Saunders said Wrexham need to eradicate mistakes from their game.
"I was a bit gutted. It did not cost us at Weymouth but it could have," said Saunders. "We have to make sure that if a team beats us then they have beat us, but not because we beat ourselves.
"I want us to defend properly, score goals and win games."
The only thing on Saunders' mind tomorrow will be Wrexham returning from Aggborough with three points.
"It was a good fighting performance at Weymouth last week," said Saunders.
"We knew we would have to deal with a lot of long balls and I was a bit concerned we could stand up to that as we have got footballers in the team. But we did and we took our goals well.
"We have got to keep that run going. I have got no interest in going to Kidderminster for a point – I want all three.
"Kidderminster are a decent team but we have just got to keep on doing the things we are doing. We can't stop doing the good things."
Saunders added: "The fans have been great and really get behind the team when we are away too which is great, and the players showed their appreciation on Saturday."
Midfielder Silvio Spann, whose shoulder had to be put back in twice during his second half substitute appearance at Weymouth, is doubtful.
But Saunders hopes centre-back Mike Williams (hamstring) and striker Marc Williams (back) are passed fit.
