NO pressure Emile. Just find us a goal.
That's the message from Newcastle Jets fans desperately hoping the likely return from injury of striker Emile Heskey for Saturday night's derby against the Central Coast at Hunter Stadium will end the club's goal drought and kick-start their season.
Three games down and still not on the scoresheet. That's been the tale of woe on the attacking front for the club, who have been without the services of their marquee star following a knee injury he picked up during the pre-season.

When you take into account the Jets failed to score in the final one and a half games of last season, it's now been 406 minutes since they last found the back of the net in the A-League.
Heskey's return against the Mariners will hinge on how he gets through the club's next couple of training sessions.
He will be assessed by the medical staff after training with the full squad Tuesday.
Assistant coach Craig Deans was hopeful prior to the session that Heskey will be ready to either start the game or make a contribution from the bench on Saturday night.

"We'll have a reasonably hard session today and if he pulls up with no problem from that, than it's just a matter of whether we think we can get 45 to 60 (minutes) out of him or whether 30 as an impact player is best," he said.
"Emile knows himself better than anyone so I'd imagine he and Gary (coach Van Egmond) will have a conversation about how he is best used on the weekend."
Deans has no doubt Heskey's presence alone with give the club a huge boost.
"Absolutely. It lifts our team, it lifts our supporters," he said.

"It puts a little bit of fear and doubt into the Central Coast team and they have quite a young backline at the moment.
"He's important to our team and our club. He's a marquee player and someone everyone wants to see play."
Deans did not attempt to gloss over the focus on the club's lack of goals, which has left the club with two draws and a loss to start the season.
"It's fair criticism if you want to call it that," he said.

"We haven't scored a goal and goals win you games and it's something that we do work on a lot. It's just a matter of it clicking on the day.
"I think the boys know it's not that far away. It's a game of small margins and at the moment, the small margins are not going in our favour but we are still going to stay positive.
"At the same time, to have what looks to be quite a solid defensive structure at the moment is something that's pleasing and something we can build on.
"The defensive efforts in the last two weeks in particular have been good. It's very early days and to get carried away with negative stuff at this early stage is pointless."
