Jordan Cook raring to go as Jordy Hiwula extends contract

The Manchester City striker has spent the past two months at the Banks's on a youth loan, which has now been extended to cover the final six games of the campaign.

Hiwula scored four times in his first seven appearances for the Saddlers but has failed to find the net in his last seven, as Dean Smith's team have found themselves in a goal drought.

Monday's 0-0 draw with Peterborough was the fourth consecutive game they have failed to find the target and a run of six games without a win has dropped them to within two points of the relegation zone.

But Cook, who himself is without a goal in more than two months, believes one goal is all it will take to kickstart a flurry.

"As soon as we get one goal in it's going to be floodgates and we are going to start beating teams by three or four or five," he said. "Peterborough are above us and they were hoping for obviously a good result for their play-off push and we've tore them off the park.

"For us it's just keep going, keep doing what we're doing and hopefully we'll step up and get them points and make sure we're all right."

Cook admits he's struggling to understand why the goals have dried up so alarmingly.

He added: "We had plenty of shots, plenty of chances – there just seems to be a forcefield around the goal at the minute for us and we can't seem to put one in.

"It's just falling right at the minute but we are going to keep plugging away, keep doing the same things. The last two performances have been really good, especially today. I think we were fantastic all game and it just shows the character of the team that we just keep plugging away and keep on going.

"If the chances weren't there, then you would be worried.

"I think it's just one of them things at the moment where it's just not falling right for us and it's just not going in the back of the net."
