GIULIANO GRAZIOLI is desperate to get his place back and win the battle of the top scorers on Saturday.

Graz knows Brighton's Bobby Zamora is a huge threat to Town but he wants to make sure that the former Bristol Rovers man doesn't hit the headlines on Saturday.

He said: "Bobby has been scoring a hatful of goals for them this season and they're going really well.

"But I still feel confident that I can score goals and hopefully he'll have a quiet afternoon while we get some goals."

The striker was disappointed to miss out against QPR but hopes that Town's director of football will restore him to the starting eleven particularly as the visitors failed to score at Loftus Road.

He said: "Nobody likes being left out but you accept that it's part and parcel of football.

"It's happened to me before and all you can do is to roll your sleeves up and show the gaffer that you have the right attitude and want your place back."

Graz said Town must learn the lessons of Wednesday's defeat at Loftus Road.

He said: "If we start against Brighton like we did against QPR then we could end up looking at a similar result.

"But the gaffer will make sure heads are up and hopefully we'll start at three o'clock."

One thing that Graz knows Town can rely on tomorrow is quality support.

He said: "Being a substitute means you are a bit more aware of the fans."

"They didn't stop singing all the way through the game the other night. Different class."
