"It has been a long wait for my first goal" Teenage striker Tom Eaves has spoken of his joy at finally breaking his duck when he hit his hat trick against Bolton Wanderers in midweek.A delighted Eaves said, “It has been a long wait for my first goal as I came on as a substitute 16 times for the first team last season. I would come on for the last 20 minutes and couldn't get a goal, but last night was different. Against Bolton I got one and then they all started to go in. I have been practicing finishing with the gaffer in training and luckily it paid off. It was simply a case of taking the chances which came my way and luckily they went in and I am made up to have scored three."“I noticed a big difference playing against Bolton's defenders as they were a lot more experienced and stronger than players I have previously come up against. Luckily I found a way to score against Bolton and hopefully I will also do so more in the future. There has been a lot of talk, but I am happy to be here and to be in the team, and grateful to be in the squad. I am looking to get a good run of games in the side, get more consistency to my game and to try and score more goals."
