When I first found out about the record a few months ago that was always my aim and now I have achieved it with two games to go I hope to go on and beat.

I had played against Tepi a couple of times in my Stockport days, so I knew of him. I obviously didn’t know about the record but I knew that Preston won the record when Tepi set it so it was just a case of finding out what the target.

We’ve said for the past few weeks, even before we qualified for the Play-Offs, we weren’t bothered about the teams below us, we just wanted to finish as high as we could. That’s what we have done for the past weeks and the next two games are no exception, we want to claim that third spot if possible.

With Reading conceding at the weekend, we are ahead of them on the goals conceded table so hopefully if we can achieve another two clean sheets we can break all the records that we want to break this season.

When you are not scoring as much at the other end it is imperative that the defence is strong and we have had that this season, no matter who has been in the side. With the squad we have got people have come in and it has not always been the same back four, but generally everyone has performed well and we have got there by sheer hard work.

It most certainly is, you don’t go breaking records like we did this season if you haven’t got a good defence in front of you.That’s testement to the hard work and the way we played as a defensive unit, it is most definitely one of the strongest defences I have played behind, certainly in this division.

After spending a couple of years on the bench I was itching to get back playing first team football. I was never really given a chance at Man City and when I went to Middlesborough so it is great to be back playing and I have loved every minute.
