SUPERSUB Darren Currie is out to show he's more than a one-minute wonder.

The flamboyant Blues star hasn't started a match this year but on Saturday he reminded boss Lawrie Sanchez what he is capable of when he came on as a substitute and took just 60 seconds to help create Wycombe's first goal in their 2-2 draw with Oldham.

With just one swing of his right boot, he curled a pin-point cross to fellow substitute Richard Harris, who headed home.

Currie said: "Their keeper was coming for everything and it had to be a good cross to beat him and fortunately my first cross was a good cross.

"I was desperate to come on because there was a lot of space out there when they had their man sent off and I was desperate to get on and get amongst it."

Now Currie, the costliest signing on Blues books, wants the chance to show he can deliver the goods every week.

He said: "I hope I've given the gaffer something to think about. I hope I've reminded him what I'm capable of. It's been frustrating being out of the side but I haven't lost the confidence in my ability.

"I know that I'm capable of doing what I've done today week in week out.

"The gaffer doesn't believe I've been doing that. He's the boss and I've got to change his mind."

Currie says the situation has got him down and he has held clear-the-air talks with the boss.

He said: "I'm not happy sitting on the bench. The family have had it in the ear. I go home and dissect my game every night after training and try and see where it is all going wrong.

"I want to play week in week out. I've had to get my head around it and work hard at it."

"I've spoken to the manager about the situation. I don't suppose he's happy that he's got me sitting on the bench and I certainly am not happy.

"He has tried to point me in the right direction and I'm trying to take it on board so that I do start playing again."
