Ruben Rodrigues says he is not concerned about his lack of goals for Notts County to start the season, explaining that he is “enjoying” being more of the provider in the team.
The Portuguese midfielder amassed 19 goals in the National League last term for the Magpies, but his goal at Woking on Saturday was just his second this season. However, the 26-year-old has taken on a slightly different role in Luke Williams’ team, with Macaulay Langstaff arriving in the summer and picking up the mantle as County’s main goalscorer.
This has left Rodrigues to contribute in different ways playing off the wing and acting more as a creative presence within the team, drawing defenders with his on-the-ball abilities rather than being the man to find in the middle of the box.
