DEAN Bennett believes Kidderminster Harriers boss Jan Molby knows how to unleash his attacking instincts on Division Three.
The 25-year-old was relieved to end a lengthy goal drought with Saturday's double to beat non-league Northwich 2-1 in the FA Cup.
Bennett has recently been moved onto the left wing in a three-man attack and also played in an attacking midfield role for a while at the weekend.
It was a change from the right wing-back position he was given under previous manager Ian Britton who wanted to utilise his ability to get up and down the pitch.
But Molby is convinced Bennett should be scoring more, as proved by his seven goals in as many league games during the 2001-02 season, and has been keen to drum that fact home.
The former West Brom and Bromsgrove player admitted: "I was so happy to score as I was getting a bit of stick off everyone, especially the gaffer.
"I'd been playing right wing-back earlier this season but I do prefer a more attacking role. Molby knows my style of play.
"I did have a few other chances, including an easy one which I should have scored from. Two headed goals for me is a rarity. I'd like to repeat my seven goals in seven games but it will take some doing."
Bennett was less than impressed with the team display and feels an improvement is needed in order to pick up points in Division Three over the next few weeks.
He added: "We were a bit apprehensive before the game as it was a potential banana skin and a lot of teams at our level have slipped up in the FA Cup.
"Northwich passed it around well and quite surprised me really.
"But if we continue to play like we did, I don't think we'll do too well in the league but it's the cup and you've got to enjoy the win.
"We do need to concentrate on the league though and see the cup as just a bonus."
But looking ahead to a second-round return to Woking on Saturday, December 6, Bennett admitted it would be good to remember old memories.
Harriers finally clinched promotion to the Football League in a game at the Surrey club, despite losing 1-0 there in April 2000.
Bennett added: "It's a tricky tie but it's a place that holds very happy memories for me, even though we lost the last time we played there.
"I know some people will look at the draw and say we should be favourites because we are in a higher division but you only have to look at the weekend's results to see that isn't necessarily the case.
"Woking have a decent FA Cup history and I'm sure they'll believe we can be beaten."
