Brentford loan star Michael Olakigbe aiming to secure a spot in League Two play-offs with loan club Chesterfield
Chesterfield travel to Stanley knowing they must win and hope other results go their way if they are to finish the season inside the top seven.
“We are going into the game with loads of confidence and to make sure we win, then we will see what happens,” he said.
“We can only control the controllables and we need to focus on ourselves. The next game is all we need to focus on and hopefully we can get a win and the other results will go our way.
“We need the fans behind us and I’m confident we can get the win.”
The Brentford loan star scored his second goal for the club during Chesterfield’s 4-1 win over Morecambe.
And the 21 year-old prospect believes plenty more goals will follow if he continues to develop his game.
“The coaches tell me to get to the back stick and there’s so many goals there for me if I do,” he said.
“ It was in my mind during the game. I’m happy to have got the goal. It’s frustrating not to have got more goals. I’ve created a lot of chances and had a lot of chances as well, I’m just taking it game by game.
“I’m still young and getting experience and I’m sure in the future I will get loads more goals.
“I’m happy to be getting minutes and that’s why I’m starting to create and score goals.
“I prefer playing off the left but I’ve adapted my game and am more versatile now. I can play off left and right and I’m just taking it in my stride.
“Every session we work on different shapes and patterns and I adapt my game to what we have been working on.”
Brentford hosted free heart screenings last weekend, providing potentially life-saving cardiac assessment for young people aged 18-35.
Held at the Community Stadium Hub across Saturday and Sunday, Heart of West London (HoWL) partner organisations Brentford FC Community Sports Trust (BFCCST), Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), the Robert Rowan Memorial Fund (RRMF) and A-K-A Day charity ran the vital screenings.
198 people were able to undertake the cardiac assessment, following on from the 1000th free heart screening this time last year funded by RRMF.
According to CRY’s research, 12 young people under the age of 35 die each week in the UK from undiagnosed heart conditions.
HoWL’s mission is to prevent sudden cardiac death by increasing access to resources and support and by ensuring everyone has the skill to save lives.
Following the sudden death of her husband Robert, former Brentford technical director, who tragically suffered a fatal sudden cardiac arrest in 2018 aged 28, Suzanne has spearheaded free heart screenings.
She said: “I’m so pleased to be holding our ninth screening event with CRY in Robert’s memory, our fifth event with Brentford and third since the start of our HoWL initiative.
“I’m hugely grateful to the Trust and Club for the of use the Community Sports Hub. Robert’s legacy lives on through the vital work we do with CRY and our HoWL partnership.
“Screenings save lives and knowing that others will benefit and can be protected from an undiagnosed heart condition brings a lot of comfort.”
