"When you look down that teamsheet at the start of the game you could see that every single available superstar City had was on it. You wonder what sort of score it will be. We rode our luck at times as well but I was very, very pleased with our performance.

"I am pleased we have gone through all of pre-season undefeated.

"O'Neil did very well. We brought him in as a centre back but he can also play in midfield and we had to throw him in there today. It was the toughest trial you could ever have and it really was sink or swim. I thought he swam today. He has only trained once with us and he will stay until Thursday.

"We are very close to getting Adam Hammill into the football club. It is not signed, sealed or delivered but we are close. The only problem is that he is due to have an operation to remove his wisdom teeth on Monday so I do not know whether we can do it for Hillsborough.

"It has been a frustrating pre-season trying to get players in. We have our targets and we are close to bringing them in. The problems are not at our end and they are not financial from our point of view. We just keep getting obstacles put in front of us from the other side, but we are working tirelessly to bring new faces into the football club."
