I don't think there's anyone going out there who hasn't started a first-team game. They have all had enough experience so the guys can say 'I should not be intimidated by this level and now I have to make an impression'.

Everyone in life gets their opportunity somehow and you have got to take it. Tom has had a difficult couple of weeks. I have been giving him a very hard time and he has taken his opportunity with both hands. He said to me before the game he was going to play well and he backed it up.
