Simon Grayson: "Records are there to be broken"

Preston North End coach Simon Grayson plays down the importance of his team ending a 35-year barren spell away to Sheffield United.

Preston North End manager Simon Grayson has played down the significance of ending his club's 35-year wait for a victory away to Sheffield United, claiming that "records are there to be broken".

Stuart Beavon fired the Lilywhites to their first win at Bramall Lane since 1978.

However, rather than basking in the joy of ending Preston's hoodoo in the Steel City, the 43-year-old insists that his team - who sit fourth in League One, five points off Leyton Orient at the summit - are focused on achieving bigger and better things this season.

"I made it clear beforehand that records are there to be broken. As we've just proved," Grayson told reporters.

"Overall I'm not going to get carried away by anything. We are going well and confidence in the dressing room is very good as you'd expect.

"But nothing, nothing at all, is won at this stage so we've just got to keep it going."

Grayson and his team travel to 11th-placed Swindon Town next Saturday.
