ROBERT Koren wants to stay firmly on the goal trail during the Championship run-in - but not at the expense of the team.

Koren is currently the club's fourth top scorer behind strikers Kevin Phillips, Roman Bednar and Ishmael Miller and needs just one more goal to hit double figures for the term.

The Slovenia star, who produced another tireless central midfield performance in Good Friday's 1-1 draw at Charlton, wants to remain a firm fixture on the Albion scoresheet.

Koren's nine goals have come from just 33 starts - but he claims his main concern is ensuring the team stay in the promotion hunt.

"In my last year at Lillestrom in Norway, I scored ten goals in 25 or 26 games and in Slovenia I scored 12 goals in 31 or 32 games," said the 27-year-old.

"But it was a different system, a different league, a different everything, so I'm really happy that I've scored so many goals so far.

"I hope that I will score more goals and we will win more games.

"I have more or less always played behind the strikers at my other clubs so I have always scored goals from midfield.

"That is nothing new.

"But we are playing a different system here to what Ičve played before so I am happy to have scored so many.

"However, the most important thing is the team going up.

"The team is more important to me than my own performance.

"Of course, it's important you perform every week and give 100 per cent because it will help the team win games.

"But the most important thing is the team playing well and winning games."
