"We have never had a season with this sort of run, where we are actually undefeated even through pre-season which is an excellent achievement for them. When we reflect on the results over 2009, we have actually only lost on two occasions, and that was back in February and March. It's an excellent statistic, however the main objective is for these players to continue to develop in the long term and become senior members of the first-team squad and impact our first-team in the future."
Rudkin said: "In the second phase of the season they have certainly got many tough challenges ahead of them but they should be full of confidence and really looking forward to the New Year.
"They are a good group of young players to work with. They show enthusiasm to want to learn and become better players and that is an important ingredient if they want to match what many of our first-team players have done in their careers."
