MORTON match winner George Oakley has his sight sets on a goal target to hit in his final two games of the Championship season after getting his 13th of an injury-hit campaign against Arbroath.

The English marksman reckons that if he could muster another two strikes between now and the end of the season it would represent a good year's work considering how much football he's missed over the course.

Should he do that, he'd head into the summer as a striker scoring once every two games, with his contract in Inverclyde coming to an end.

But as he opened up on the hardships of the season he says it's been one of his most enjoyable to date.

Oakley told the Tele: "I think that aiming for 15 goals between now and the end of the season would be a fair shout, personally.

"I think it would be a good return considering the amount of games that I've played, and I've missed a few out of my own doing, which has been a bit of a nightmare.

"It's been injuries that nobody has ever really heard of. Every time I go and get my scans, people look at me with the same face and say that's a strange injury to have for a footballer.

"So, it just shows what's happened to me to miss games. It's been weird injuries and frustrating and I'd liked to think that had I played more, we could have been in with a shout of finishing in the top four.

"There's a lot of boys who were injured as well during various different stages so it has been a tough year for the club in that regard.

"For some of the boys it's been tough, both mentally and physically in a way, because of the injuries we've picked up. But that's just part and parcel of football - you try to just pick yourself up.

"But I think the boys have done excellent in really tough circumstances and in a really tough league. It's been enjoyable in a way."

Oakley admits it's galling to see the gap sit just a point too much to catch Airdrie in the play-off spaces, after a disappointing March for Morton.

The striker believes his side peaked at the wrong time, when their remarkable run saw them sitting just three points off of third place.

He added: "To look at the table and see the seven point gap between ourselves and Airdrie, with two games to go, it is a bit gutting to see considering how long we were in the play-off places for and even just if one game had gone differently we could have been fighting until the very end.

"But I think that's been the story since I signed for Morton really, even that half-season I had here last year. We finished two points off of second and were out of the play-offs only on goal difference.

"That was a hard one to take, really hard actually. And then we've come into this season and we were flying. We went 16 games unbeaten, with 11 wins in there.

"But I think if I'm being honest, we probably peaked at the wrong time. We peaked in the middle of the season.

"Whereas if you look at Airdire they probably peaked within the last month or so when they needed too. It's hard because I think if we'd got one or two wins during that run where we didn't pick up any points then it could have been a lot different."
