Eric Kinder gave us the run-down on the first Youth victory of the season:

"We started really well, and we had three great chances within the first four minutes of the game.

Ryan Bowman had two really good chances, and I know that he will feel that he should have scored.

They then rocked us back when they got behind us, and Steve Swinglehurst found himself the wrong side of his man. The lad capitalised on that and put it away with a very good finish.

We equalised through Andy Cook on 24 minutes, and that came when Swinglehurst nodded the ball in to the box. Cook got free in the 6-yard area and headed it over the line.

We went in front on 28 minutes when Matt Duffy went on an overlap and sent in a terrific cross. Andy Cook timed his run and it was a superb header. I'd probably describe it as a really good centre forwards goal.

He got his hat-trick in the 52nd minute when Davison played him through, and he kept his composure to score another really good goal from the edge of the box.

Ryan Bowman rounded off the scoring in the 57th minute when Andy Cook went on a run, beating about four players, and I actually thought that he was going to have a shot himself. He didn't, he had a look up and saw Ryan Bowman, so he laid it off for him and Ryan was able to smash it in to the back of the net.

We coasted through the rest of the game following that. We could have scored a few more, but the important thing was that we played really well.

I hope that is us up and running because if we play like that every week then we'll be very hard to beat.

Overall it was a really good team performance, and I can't complain about anything that they did.

We played to a really good tempo, and we coped with the fact that they tried to rough us up a bit. We didn't get involved in that and we just kept playing our football.

I'll always want more from them, they know that, but I'll also give them a pat on the back when they do things right, and that's what I got from them today.

Jamie Cleary made his debut - he came on for the last half hour - and he looked very composed, but  I now lose him for a few weeks to his international duties.

Chris McDougall got 25 minutes, and he did well, so I'm happy with the 16-man squad that we now have to work with.

I won't say that we have found that 'penny's dropped' moment just yet, because we have to do it again next week, and then the week after, and so on.

We play Accrington away on Friday, so that we can watch the Leeds game on Saturday, and it's important that we do things properly there this time.

Like I say, I'm very satisfied today, but we have to ensure that it becomes a regular thing for us.

We dropped five points to Accrington last year, and they have been a bit of a difficult team for us to play against. We want to put that right, and we know that if we play well against them then they'll find us hard to deal with.

I want to see us raise our game against them, because they like playing against us, so we'll go there wanting to get a win.

Back to today, and I've been trying to get them to play like this all season. Maybe it's the fact that we did so well in pre-season that we expected the League games to be a breeze. Last year we only won one game in the summer, and we started slowly, and we haven't really learned from it.

When we walked in to that Burnley game, and went two up, we thought that was job done. Well, we learned our lesson quickly because we got our backsides kicked. Against Macclesfield, we conceded a goal and we started to panic.

Maybe, in hindsight, pre-season didn't help us as much as I thought it would this year. Hopefully that's behind us now, and we will continue with what we have started today."
