Goal poacher Jamie White believes it is only a matter of time before he opens his account for Bristol Rovers.
White was reunited with boss Darrell Clarke during the summer after banging in 36 goals in 70 games over two seasons for Salisbury.
The 24-year-old Southampton academy graduate is yet to break his duck for Rovers after being restricted to only two starts as he continues his bid to reach peak fitness.
He failed to score again when offered the rare opportunity of a start in the 2-1 victory over FC Halifax Town at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday, but weighed in with an assist by providing the cross for Adam Cunnington first-half opener.
"I'm not worried that I haven't scored yet," said White. "You tend to go on a little run when you are not thinking about it.
"If you let the fact you haven't scored play on your mind, it will play on your mind and you just end up putting too much pressure on yourself or trying too hard.
"When the goals come they will come. It is just a matter of time.
"I was just pleased to get a start on Saturday and was happy to make a contribution by helping out with an assist.
"I didn't get much of a sniff in front of goal myself, so setting someone else up is the next best thing. I love to score goals, but it is a team game at the end of the day."
