Two goals and a first victory of the campaign should have been cause for celebration.

But Scunthorpe United midfielder Damien Mozika came off the Glanford Park pitch last weekend still hoping for more.

The Frenchman opened his Iron account with a brace in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Yeovil Town, but has promised fans they have yet to see ‘the real Mozika’.

Though with manager Alan Knill’s help, he is confident that won’t be the case for much longer.

“I want to play as many games as possible, improve my game and show everyone what I can do,” said the 24-year-old, who has made five appearances since his move from Bury.

“They’ve not seen the best of me yet at all.

“I know in the last game I scored two goals and I’m happy about it, but at the end of the game I felt you still haven’t seen the real Mozika yet.

“I hope you will see it soon.

“I’m only at 60 or 70 per cent at the moment.

“When I am on the pitch I want people to see only me, like I am everywhere.

“Alan Knill is a good manager. He’s known me since Bury and knows how to make me a better player.

“Every day in training he helps me.”

Tomorrow’s trip to Stevenage presents a chance for United to build on that first victory.

Mozika believes Scunthorpe should still be aiming high this season, with a strong team spirit key to any success.

“Stevenage is a tough game away but I think we can get something from it,” he said.

“They are a tough, tough team – very strong.

“If we play like usual, I think we can win.

“I think since I have come the team has done well, but we just hadn’t got the result.

“The Yeovil game we didn’t play as well as usual, but we won and a win is a win.

“This year I think we can get promoted and have a good season.

“We haven’t got the luck yet, but it’s coming.

“If we play like we have been playing and pass the ball around, we can get results.

“I’m impressed with how together the team is.

“When we weren’t winning, we stuck together and always kept our heads up.

“It helps a lot.”
