Southampton's Tom Fellows aims to increase his contributions as the team pushes for promotion to the Premier League. He has made three assists this season and has been part of an unbeaten run, with the team currently sitting fifth in the Championship.
Southampton's Tom Fellows is hoping to contribute more goals and assists as Saints seek promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
Fellows has featured in 15 of the 17-game unbeaten run in all competitions, making three assists but the midfielder is yet to score this season.
"It's always on your mind but sometimes I'm more interested in the general performance. I think some of my best games have been when I haven't scored, I haven't assisted," Fellows told BBC Radio Solent.
"We've got a lot of competition in the squad, so I've just got to try and play a little bit better and help the team more but I think it's going great for everyone and long may it continue."
Southampton currently sit fifth in the Championship, having picked up 36 points since their last loss to Hull City in January.
The appointment of head coach Tonda Eckert kickstarted a remarkable turnaround for Saints, who were sat 21st in the table and looking more likely to be embroiled in a relegation scrap than shooting for promotion when previous boss Will Still was sacked at the beginning of November.
"[Eckert]'s very tactical, very detailed, obsessed with the game. He's also a very good man-manager. He speaks to you a lot, he knows how to deal with certain things well. It's that balance which is why we've done so well," Fellows said.
"A breath of fresh air."
Southampton host Blackburn Rovers in the Championship tonight (20:00 BST), when a win would take them closer to the automatic promotion spots.
"[Blackburn] are obviously in a relegation battle, that always brings a little bit extra out, especially towards the end of the season when you know another good result will help them so much," Fellows said.
"We've got to match that and we're fighting for something; got our own goals."
"We understand they're going to be well drilled, physical but they can also play some good football so it will be a tough game."
