Le Fondre expects even more
Sydney FC striker Adam le Fondre is far from resting on his laurels after his scoring spree over the first third of the A-League season.
Le Fondre is on pace to challenge former Sky Blues favourite Bobo for the league record of goals in a campaign.
Whenever I'm playing I'm going to be scoring goals, that's just me.

With Bobo leaving during the off-season, the team needed to be able to replace his goals contribution - he'd just set the league record with 27 goals in helping the Sky Blues retain their Premier's Plate.
Le Fondre has nine goals in the first 10 rounds, having bagged a brace in the victory over Brisbane Roar on Saturday, but he's not content with his tally, even though he is three ahead of where Bobo was after the same amount of games.
The 32-year-old said: "I've probably been a bit frustrated in the way I'm playing personally, I've probably not been at my best for a lot of the games but obviously scoring.
"I want more; I don't want to just settle for two goals, I want three or four - they were definitely there for me tonight and I didn't put them away. If you're just satisfied with things, then you'll never get better."
Having made his senior debut in 2004 for Stockport County, Le Fondre scored regularly over his first decade in England.
He averaged better than a goal every three games for Rochdale, then bagged 54 goals in 96 games for Rotherham United to earn a move to Reading.
Le Fondre had a season in the Premier League with the Royals in 2012-13, scoring 12 times.
"Father Time waits for no-one and I want to continue on an upward curve playing as good as I can for as long as I can," he said. "Whenever I'm playing I'm going to be scoring goals, that's just me; I know that for a fact."
Sydney FC are 3/10 to win their next game against Central Coast, who are 8/1 with the draw 9/2.
