Guinan scored 15 goals for Hereford United in League One last season

Northampton Town striker Steve Guinan says he does not feel under pressure to score goals for the club.

The 33-year-old is the Cobblers' joint top scorer with five goals this season.

Guinan told BBC Radio Northampton: "I don't set myself targets. It can play on your mind if you're not where you think you should be.

"I don't put pressure on myself. I'm not a fox in the box or a sniffer. I link the play up, but you're judged on goals so [I want to] get my share."

Guinan's winning goal against Lincoln City ensured that Northampton Town's unbeaten run extended to five matches in all competitions.

"We've gone behind quite a few times, and we've come back. Ian Sampson and Malcolm Crosby have instilled the belief in us that we are a good side.

"I'm confident we can win the [next] two away games. There's no reason to fear anyone," Guinan added.
