"If I get an opportunity to get in there and have a chance to get a goal or set one up I'll go for it," Whittaker told the club's official site. "Goals win you games and if there's a chance for us to get one, I'll try to do that. Everyone in our team is the same. We look to impose ourselves on games and go for victories. It's good I've got a little bit of freedom to go and join in the attack when possible."
