Everyone expected after our 6-0 win over Birmingham that we should go on and win comfortably against Stockport, 2-0 or 3-1 or something like that, but our manager Kevin Keegan is a realist and understands football is not like that.

You just don't go out and get wins that easily.

Even though you win a game previously 6-0, you don't just walk into the next game and expect to win. Stockport was a derby game so we knew it was going to be very close, despite their lowly position.

I think the gaffer would have been more upset with the 2-2 draw if it was another team, but it was a derby. It was like when we played Manchester United, it's the derby everyone builds up for. Stockport are pretty much like that, they were looking forward to the City game, it was their FA Cup final.

They caught us once or twice when they played us before, so it was a case of having to make sure we didn't get caught again this time.

So looking back on previous games, we're quite happy with a draw, although we should be winning our home games.

I played in derby games when I was at Bristol City, and the Bristol Rovers fans hated me. I scored against them a few times and they didn't like me at all.

In my North Village days, the closest you would get to a derby game was against Dandy Town, Boulevard, Devonshire Colts or Devonshire Cougars. You are likely to have families split in regards to who they support. You would get one side of the family supporting one team and the other side supporting the other, and each side would give the other some stick on how they were going to get beaten this way or that way.

My auntie liked that kind of thing, telling me how Dandy Town were going to beat Village. I would walk home knowing that I scored a goal and would look for her more than anybody else. She used to hide from me but it was quite pleasing to do things like that.

Back home, they aren't loyal like the fans here. Out here they support you through thick and thin. It's the life here. There are so many fans out here with tattoos of Man City on them, but I think the furthest I'd go is have a tattoo of my baby girls.

It just goes to show how much the club means to these people that they are willing to put a tattoo of the club's logo on some part of their body. I've had loads of City's fans show me a tattoo of the club crest.

Not two weeks go by without me bumping into a fan who will show me they have a tattoo of City on them. You can imagine a Bermudian fan coming over and seeing that and thinking 'this bye really loves this club, doesn't he'.

Can you imagine the average Bermudian saying 'I'm going to put a Cougars or North Village tattoo on me'? Come on, I like you guys, but I don't know if I'm going to go that far.

The Bristol derby is a big derby for that part of the country, but it isn't on the scale of Man. United and us, or Celtic and Rangers. I can't recall any of those fans having a tattoo of their club. But since I've come to City, I've seen loads of them.

I've experienced a Manchester derby, which is the ultimate that I would experience here. It's along the lines of Everton and Liverpool, the London derbies or the Celtic-Rangers derby. It doesn't get any bigger than those.

I am enjoying my best ever start to an English season with 14 goals already and it has entered my mind that perhaps this could be the season that I do get 30 goals. In my mind I'm thinking if all goes well in regards to staying fit then I'm looking to get 30.

Normally I do have targets, but I'm not too quick to let people know what they are. But with the start I've had, 30 goals is within my grasp. The form I've had is pretty frightening, a goal a game sort of thing, but even if I return back to my normal standard of a goal every other game it should be with within my reach.

I would be disappointed if I didn't reach between 27 and 30 goals, as of now.

When a team gets promoted you tend to have a scorer around the 25-goal mark. And you tend to have another striker or high scoring midfielder who pushes the goals up. But I would easily give up a few goals for the team to have a few more points.

Individually I'm well pleased with my form in regards to the goals, but I'm not so happy with my actual form in games. Sometimes it's like that, you can be playing well and not scoring, so I do take the positive in that I don't feel I'm playing particularly well but I'm still scoring. As a player you do look for perfection, though.

Kyle Lightbourne is only 40 minutes from where I am, so I went to watch him play the other day against Rushden and Diamonds who they lost to 1-0. That night I was hoping to 'Feed Kyle', that some of my goals would rub off. I've been to watch him and seen the 'keeper pull off one or two saves and I know he's thinking 'it's not my day again'.

But football's very much like that.
