West Bromwich Albion striker Shane Long is targeting three points against Stoke City this Sunday.
He believes a first victory over the Potters in ten attempts would mean Roy Hodgson's men can reflect on their start with a sense of satisfaction.
"I think we need to get three points against Stoke and then we can look back on the first three games and say three good performances and unlucky to not have more points," Long told the WBA website.
"We can be proud of our work - but unless we can get those three points it will be a bad start to the season, we have a big week ahead of us and we need to start making all these games count.
"It's obviously the results that matter but it's nice to get the two goals, obviously - it's just a pity they didn't get points on the board.
"As long as the chances keep coming my way it will be nice to just keep scoring goals but the main thing is getting points and I don't mind who scores the goals as long as we get the points on the board and do well as a team."
