Bobby Grant is confident he'll add to his ever-increasing goal tally against Colchester United this afternoon - because he feels he'll score every time he takes to the pitch.

Five goals in four games, including Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy double against Hartlepool United, have transformed the confidence of a player who is already only three games away from starting the same number of matches as he did throughout the entire last campaign at the Iron.

And the U's are next in the 21-year-old hitman's sights as he looks to fire his side to a first League One victory of the campaign.

"It's always nice to be scoring goals," Grant told the Telegraph.

"As a striker the time I've had here has been frustrating.  Last year I didn't do what I was supposed to do.

"I've got a lot of belief in myself and the manager has got a lot of belief in me, he's shown that by playing me.

"It was up to me to take that chance and I think I've done that.

"It's all about confidence as a striker and at the moment I'm high on confidence.

"I'm walking in every day with a smile on my face and every time I go onto the pitch I expect to score.

"I set myself high standards and to get five goals in four games is good at any level."

Having gone some way to ending his own frustrations at Scunthorpe, Grant is now keen to do the same for his club.

That means improving a dismal home record which saw seen the Iron win just one of their last eight league games in front of their own fans.

The former Accrington Stanley ace is hoping the midweek win will act as a catalyst.

"Home form is crucial if you're going to have a push for promotion," Grant added.

"Even in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, we had to show the fans what we can do. We understand the frustrations they are going through but I want them to stick with us.

"As a team, it was nice to get that home win.

"Colchester are a good team, but if we play the way we know we can play, we can beat anyone at this ground.

"We've bossed a few games and have deserved to win the majority of matches.

"But it's the mistakes that cost you. It doesn't matter what level you play at, if you make mistakes you're going to get punished.

"We have to cut them out sooner rather than later and if we do, we can climb the league."
