THEY say records are there to be broken, so I’m delighted to congratulate Jordan Rhodes on replacing me as the youngest player in Town history to reach 50 goals.

It couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke, and it’s been great to watch Jordan enjoy such a hot scoring streak in recent matches.

Three hat-tricks, two for Town and the other for Scotland Under 21s, and 13 goals in five games is fantastic.

Jordan’s obviously playing with confidence, but there is more to it than that.

It’s about working hard in training, listening to what the coaches tell you and putting it into practice, and Jordan does all those things.

He’s got his feet very firmly on the ground – except when he’s heading the ball into the net!

The great thing about Jordan is that at 21, he will get better still, and as has been said, if he keeps going the way he is, a full Scotland call-up is surely in the offing.

And it was fantastic to hear the chairman confirm that Jordan, Jack Hunt, below, and Gary Roberts have all committed themselves to the cause following inevitable speculation over their futures.

That’s something that comes with the territory, but all the players here are focused on what really matters – winning promotion.

There’s a real unity about the group, and the fact that the club has no need to sell during the January transfer window is a major help.

There’s a long way to go, but there’s also a real will to succeed.

IT’S no surprise there has been such a reaction to suggestions that some Premier League clubs want to scrap relegation.

You can see why some owners would want a guarantee of top-flight football, because losing that status is a costly business.
