Johnson sets AJ goal target

Yeovil boss Gary Johnson has set AJ Leitch-Smith a target of 20 goals after the former Crewe man opened his account at Bradford.

Johnson also revealed how the forward, who arrived at Huish Park on a two-year deal in the summer, had been frustrated by his lack of goals during the opening weeks of the season before breaking his duck in that 3-1 win at Valley Parade. "I think he is a super player and he will score goals," he told Press Association Sport. "He has been at one club (Crewe) all his life but now he has got to come out and score 20 goals at least this season and that needs a slightly different mentality to go and have the drive and passion and desire to do that. "It (a wait for a goal) does worry them. Especially if you get the right type of players, you want the ones who are disappointed with themselves and let it play on their mind. "We try to help them get through it. We said to AJ 'you will earn a goal if you work hard and keep getting into dangerous areas and show a presence around the goal'. "I thought he had a fantastic game against Bradford and when you get a goal and you are in credit, the ball comes to you and you aren't thinking about missing it."
