Leicester City striker David Nugent said he is prepared to sacrifice his bid to break the 20-goal barrier for the sake of the promotion push.
Nugent is still City's top scorer this season with 10 goals, and added two to his tally at Ipswich last Saturday.
But he has predominantly played a deeper role this season and six of his strikes have come from the penalty spot.
Nugent admits the deeper-lying role has restricted the number of chances that fall his way, but said he is happy to play whatever role manager Nigel Pearson asks of him, if it helps City's cause.
"When teams come to our place they always play with a sitting central midfielder, so it is my job to drop in and stop him playing from deep," said Nugent.
"Then I try to get on the ball and feed the wingers and whoever is up top with me.
"I am kind of sacrificing my game for the team, which I am enjoying doing. I think it is working out well.
"I will play anywhere on the pitch. I am an out-and-out striker, but you could see at Watford when we beat them that I was basically in line with Andy King and Danny Drinkwater in midfield.
"We were getting pegged back a bit and I was happy to do a job for the team.
"When I do drop in it stops the opposition from playing and it seems to be working.
"The fans don't necessarily see that. The fans just want strikers to score goals, but I am doing this for the team.
"They have asked me to do a job and whatever they say goes."
Pearson said Nugent was a selfless member of the squad who always gave his best, regardless of what was asked of him.
"Nuge has played a number of different roles in my time at the club and you always get 100 per cent commitment from him," said the City boss. "That is important to have.
"He is one of our senior players at 28. I think it is important to recognise that he is a player that other players look to."
