Speaking to the EADT, Stead said: He's sold me before, so it's been on my mind. It's his decision in January. If that's the case then I would have to look at my options. But I like the area, so that's not an issue. I just want to play some games.
"I am no different to any striker. I want to score goals, and to do that I must get back into the team and start playing regularly again. I've only had four starts so far this season, and I've been taken off at half-time in some of them, so it's not been ideal.
"I haven't played as well as last season, and I'm not going to pull the wool over my eyes and say any different. Very few of us have played well, week in, week out.
"If the manager does not pick me from now until January, then I think we'd both be speaking from the same hymn sheet. But I'm certainly not looking to get away."
