It's been a pretty good week both on the home and the work front.

Firstly, my two girls started to walk and then on Saturday I scored a hat-trick in the 4-1 win over Gillingham to add to the one goal I scored against Barnsley on Wednesday night.

That takes me to 20 for the season but still the gaffer isn't satisfied!

He told the media that I could have had 40 goals considering the number of chances that I have had, but that is typical of Kevin Keegan.

A lot of people may have thought he must be praising me. However, he just says 'well, done, but you can do better' and that sort of thing. While he is giving me a small compliment he is also saying there is still room for improvement.

He may pat me on the back at the end of the season if I carry on as I am, but there is still a lot of work to be done between now and then.

Someone pointed out this week that I was on target to break Tom Johnson's club record of 38 league goals in a season for Manchester City which was set back in 1928-29.

If there was only two or three goals difference, fair enough, but at the moment I'm 18 goals away and I would rather not think about that. It doesn't make sense.

I just have to try and continue in the same vein as now and if I give myself a chance with say 10 games to go then that is the time to try and go for it. But to sit here now and say I'm going after it would be daft. In football you are only one or two games away from your form changing, or from being injured or from being dropped by the manager for whatever reason, so I'll leave talk of that statistic to the media for now.

The three goals against Gillingham marked my eighth career hat-trick and my second so far this season.

I keep all the match balls in my office at home with details about who the goals were scored against and when, but I have yet to make space for my two latest ones.

After I had scored the first two I started to think about the possibility of a hat-trick. Achieving it was all the more important because it would be the first time I had scored three goals at home this season, my other one being in the away win at Burnley.

Normally on two goals I would just be thinking 'I want to carry on playing well and cap a good performance', but I knew I had an opportunity to do something special in front of the home fans.

My first two came in the opening half, so that meant I had another 45 minutes in which to get the third.

I had a few chances to get it and at the end of the game I was disappointed that I didn't go away having scored four goals, but I'm just greedy I suppose.

I hit the upright with one effort and I was annoyed with myself because I felt it should really have been in the back of the net.

The ball came back from the byline and I hit it on the volley from nine or 10 yards but instead of going in it hit the post and went out for a goal-kick.

I also had another effort cleared off the line before I finally did get my third.

The crowd were pleased not only because of what it meant for me but also because it sealed the victory for us.

But after five or 10 minutes they decided that four was not enough and started chanting 'We want five'. Even having scored four goals they would not let you rest on your laurels!

That win meant a lot because perhaps now we are finding some form.

In the past we have won a game and then lost or drawn the next one and have not really been able to find any consistency.

However, we have now won our past two games and are fifth in the table.

We now have 10 days off before our next game because of international fixtures but when it comes around it will be massive.

It is against Portsmouth and I think it will dictate whether we are on a run or whether we have to start over again.

I had some visitors at Maine Road for the Gillingham game. Some players from Tuff Dogs had flown to England and I met up with them briefly after the game.

As tends to be the case whenever Bermudians make the trip to watch City the news reaches me in the dressing room. Once a steward knows they pass the word on and it eventually gets to me.

After the result I told them they had to come every weekend!

Unfortunately, I couldn't spend as long as I would have liked with them because I was dashing off to meet up with Kyle Lightbourne.

He had just returned to playing after some weeks out with injury and scored the equaliser in Macclesfield's 1-1 draw with Carlisle.

He is still not fully fit and played through the pain barrier.

He told me he was in a lot of pain but that he didn't want to go off because he had a feeling he might score. He reckoned he was about 70 percent fit and so it was asking a lot for him to play.

Anyway I suppose I should sign off now and get back to the children. They are a nice distraction from football and allow me to be a family man.

As I said, they started walking towards the end of the week. First it was just a few steps but soon they were getting to the end of the room - in a few days I reckon they'll be all over the house!
