A strong performance from City saw them emerge victorious over Walsall in the second round of the Youth Alliance Cup after a thrilling 5-2 game.
Another fantastic display from striker Leo Fifield saw the No.9 score all five goals as he takes his tally to 25 goals and six assists in the opening 10 games of the season.
He said: “Obviously I’ve had a good start to the season, but when it comes to ruthlessness in front of goal, I can only thank my team-mates and coaches for drilling it into me. Since pre-season the boys have been unreal and if they’re not there then I don’t score.”
The young forward is thriving with his confidence at the moment as he continues his hot run of form.
He said: “I’m confident in what I’ve done on and off the pitch throughout my time here. A very big part is my faith and the people I have around me supporting me, so I can only thank other people. There won’t be any complacency, I’ve got to stay ruthless.”
The atmosphere in and around the squad is a positive one as the young Imps are enjoying this rich vein of form. The connection within the group is clearly a strong one and has had a positive impact on the players so far.
Fifield added: “Building my relationship with these lads has been the biggest factor in my game. Some of the connections I’ve made with the lads and the service they all give me; I honestly can’t give them enough praise. The next thing is to stay consistent and we will get more.”
