Speaking to the CET,Dele Adebola has thanked the players and supporters for helping him come back to form. The Nigerian who scored against Derby at the weekend said: "The fact that the fans and players around me want to do well is really helping me.
"I hear the supporters chanting my name in every game and the players are forever encouraging me, so they have got me out of a hole which I had fallen into and was struggling to get out of.
"But I am starting to slowly clamber back to what the fans were expecting from me when I first came to the club, and if I can please the fans, that is what it is all about."
The target man has been threatening to score in recent games and was mobbed by his team-mates amid enthusiastic celebrations on the terraces when he finally broke his City duck at Pride Park.
"It was brilliant to get that first goal after so long and I got so excited I forgot where our fans were for my celebration. But it was an amazing feeling and it sets you up to go on and do more.
"I scored four goals at Bradford on loan this season but my main job up there was the set-up play and bring other players into the game. But the more goals I score, the more confident I will get at trying to do things myself, which I probably need to do.
"I feel I am thinking a little bit too much about creating chances for others when maybe I need to be more single-minded.
"But that just comes with confidence and at the moment it is quite high. So if I can get myself going fully I feel I can establish a better goals tally than I did last season."
