    The return of Jack Hinshelwood could not have come at a better time, as he popped up to score the winner against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

    It's fantastic to see the fruit of our academy contributing to first-team success, with Jack being the first player to graduate every age group since its opening in 2014.

    The rise of Hinshelwood feels a little bit more special as I believe he truly embodies the club's long-term vision. Our dream to create a pathway to the Premier League from our academy now has clear positive evidence.

    The identity of our football club is clearly deep-rooted, and now with the likes of Harry Howell and James Beadle also rising to the top, it truly is a bright future for coming generations.

    His return felt almost symbolic yesterday, especially in how we turned things around just a minute after he was introduced. The belief around the stadium, especially from where I was sitting, certainly lifted.

    In a season that has given consistent inconsistency, it's going to be key to get players of Hinshelwood's quality back in and around the starting XI to fully boost our European hopes.

    Yes, it's been frustrating so far this season, but it truly feels now that we are building momentum and shifting the margins in our favour. All you have to do is look at the Premier League table so far this season to really understand just how tough it is this year.

    With no international break until March, now is the time for us to build on this momentum and continue to do what we know we can do best.
