Martyn: But having scored his first in City colours at Doncaster in midweek, and partnered Fryatt for the first time at the Tigers, Waghorn is confident more goals will follow.

"Sooner or later a team is going to see what we can do and hopefully it's not too far round the corner," Waghorn told the Mail.

"Matty and I have a good understanding of how we both like to play. We can both go behind, we can both come short, we are both comfortable on the ball, so it looks promising.

"We bonded before at Leicester, where we played well, but it's going to take a bit of time for us to click again here."

City's last goal double in the league came back in April, with a 4-2 loss to Middlesbrough.

That was 12 games ago, and having dropped four points this week by surrendering 1-0 leads against the bottom two clubs, Waghorn admits it has been a concern to the players.

"We do share those frustrations at times because we have a lot of attacking quality," Waghorn said.

"Sometimes, you think let's get the ball forward and create as many chances as we can.

"If we had got the second goal then I think the game would have been dead as we could have gone on to get two or three goals.

"But we can grind out results if we score just the one goal because we have a good defence."

Despite concerns over City's strike rate, a 1-1 draw at Doncaster extended their unbeaten run to five games, leaving them in the promotion race.

And they head into of Saturday's home clash with Cardiff City full of confidence.

"Cardiff will be a different proposition to Doncaster, they will play the ball and they will want to attack more often," Waghorn said.

"This is where me and Matty can hit them on the counter attack and we'll bear that in mind.

"People are disappointed that we dropped two points at Doncaster. But we haven't lost since the last international break.

"We have the positives and we will keep building. Not many teams put a five-game unbeaten run together in this league and if you do you can go places."

MARTYN Waghorn has been called up for England under-21s' Euro 2013 qualifiers against Iceland on October 6 and Norway on October 11.
