Posted on: Wed 16 Apr 2008

DARIUS Henderson answers some more of your teasers.

Click here for part 1.

Q: Where is your favourite and least favourite places to play away from the Vic and why?
Kevin and Kyle Waugh, Hillingdon.

A: Nowhere in particular stands out - playing at White Hart Lane was quite extra special as I supported Spurs as a kid.

Q: What have you done to improve your all round play and do you think you could adapt if promoted this time round?

A: I just think obviously I train hard and always work on my all-round game. So hopefully with that I hope to get 35 plus games in.

With that experience I hope to improve, if we get there, which I believe we will, I will improve. Last season I learnt to stay focused, especially when times are hard - when you're down at the bottom improvement is what you strive for. 

Q: Does being a footballer affect your home life and the time you can spend with your family?
Marion

A: When we have away games you travel on the Friday so it does affect my family life and also there are pre-season tours for example. It is obviously difficult but what job doesn't affect your home life?

Q: What goal tally would you like to end this season with?
Will, Ricky.

A: As long as the goals get us promotion that is all that matters. I did have a goal target at the start of the season but I'm going to keep that close to my chest!

Q: Working in Swindon I know you are held in high regard by their supporters following the loan spell you have there a few years ago. What do you remember from your time there and do you feel you benefited from the loan spell?
David, Reading.

A: It definitely benefited me, it was a turning point in my career if I look back on it. I was coming back from injury and I wasn't getting in the team at Gillingham, who were struggling at the time.

I had to drop down a league to go out on loan but it gave me the match fitness and the confidence to show that I could score goals again. More importantly it gave me the games, I can't emphasise enough how games are important for a player, especially for a striker.

Q: Can you give me some advice on heading? I play for my local Sunday team and I can kick goals in OK (most of the time!) but can't seem to get my timing right for headers and I keep missing easy ones.
Warren Brown, North Watford.

A: The technique I use is to just be aggressive and remain focused on the ball throughout. Again, be really aggressive in terms of wanting to really head the ball. I must admit I discovered heading was a strong part of my game when I was about 14, it's just an attitude to want to win it. You see players who aren't necessarily tall but are good in the air I just think it's all to do with their attitude.
