John Carew is taking aim at npower Championship goals after getting off the mark for West Ham United in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace.
The Norway international came off the bench to head George McCartney's cross past Julian Speroni ten minutes from time, earning the Hammers a well-deserved point.
In fact, had Sam Allardyce's side not missed a succession of first half chances, Carew and his team-mates would have taken three points rather than one back to east London.
"We had so many chances and Julien [Faubert] had his best game of the season. I think he was man of the match by far. He put about 20 amazing crosses in during the first half alone and I would have loved to have been out there to try and get on the end of them.
"Of course, we were very superior in the game in general, so it was at bit frustrating but at the end of the day a point is a point."
Carew jets off on international duty with Norway this week, where he faces a vital 2012 UEFA European Championship qualifier against Cyprus in Oslo, but in the longer-term his target is to add to the goal he netted at Selhurst Park.
When asked if he would rather start games than appear as a substitute, the 32-year-old insisted he would contribute in any way that he could.
"I'm just focusing on doing my best when I get on the pitch, being myself and doing well, rather than just starting all the time.
"Obviously you always want to play as much as possible, but that's not my main focus."
A draw at Palace meant West Ham collected four points from their three npower Championship matches last week - three from a victory over Peterborough United and none from a home defeat by Ipswich Town.
Carew admitted that, while the Hammers are tipped by most to make an immediate return to the Premier League, opposition teams are not simply going to roll over.
"In the Championship, we are almost like Manchester United are in the Premier League. Everybody wants to get points off us and they will probably raise their levels slightly and, instead of playing at 100 per cent, they are playing at 110 per cent almost and better than their level.
"It's always a big challenge when you are the clear favourites and probably the best team in the league.
"I think the throughout whole season, when teams meet us they tend to raise their game. It's something we have to cope with.
"It's a long season and I'm sure we'll just get better and better. The players are getting fit and the new players are getting playing time. Papa Bouba Diop also had a great game, so the new ones are starting to settle in as well."
