The Icelandic talisman has already netted 10 league goals, as well as another in the FA Cup. Throw in two more for Iceland during the last international break and that makes 13.

The 24-year-old admits he is enjoying the best run of his playing days, with ruthless finishing the key to his form.

His overall game has improved immeasurably too and with his peak ahead of him, it is exciting times.

"I'm just at a really great place on and off the pitch," Gudjohnsen told RoversTV.

"I'm taking care of myself, of my body. I'm really focussing on recovery in between games and I really want to be able to give everything that I have this season to the team.

"Whether it's with goals or assists or link-up play, I just want to give back. We've got a great group. Playing for this team means a lot to me.

"It is a bit of a weird one because as a forward, you will have colder periods throughout your career in front of goal.

"But right now, it just seems like whenever the ball falls for me, I just don't think of anything else. I can't see anything other than the goal and where to put the ball.

"It most definitely is one of the highs of my career so far, being able to play this well for a team that, like I say, means a lot to me.

"A great group of lads and, you know, the staff, everyone kind of around the club. It's a great environment to be in at the minute."

Victory over West Ham was the perfect tonic before the international break after successive defeats.

It keeps Rovers fans delighted with their start to the season and maintains the positive form at Ewood Park.

Eyes are now on the Burnley game with Gudjohnsen joking a few early comments have been made. Rovers supporters will have their fingers crossed that their star striker makes it through Iceland's fixtures unscathed.

"I think we really needed that as a squad and I think we just played really well," he reflected.

"We're growing as a team. The individual players, we're improving a lot.

"We can really see that this season and we want to keep improving and really be able to manage these games that get a little tight towards the end and we've done terrifically today to get the three points.

"As a player, it's the type of games that you want to be part of, isn't it? I can't remember the last time I played at Ewood with that kind of atmosphere.

"So just a great feeling for the team to be able to give back to the fans. It would have been a different story, wouldn't it? If we had lost today.

"It would have been three losses in a row. But we turned it around and it takes maturity and mentality in our game to do that."
