Yeovil Town goal-scorer Jake Hyde has said he believes the team will become more ruthless the more they play together.

The frontman opened his account with a third minute goal in the 2-1  home win over St Albans City at Huish Park on Saturday with strike partner Rhys Murphy adding a second just before half-time.

But, both players and fellow forward Frank Nouble spurned a number of opportunities to extend the advantage.

Speaking to BBC Somerset’s Ian Randall after the game, Hyde said: “The first half especially I felt we dominated play and there could have been three or four. That ruthlessness will come, the more we play (together) and get to know each other, the more we will start killing teams off.

You have got to remember we are a relatively new team still, we are still learning how each other play and we have got some fantastic assets in the team.

It is going to be exciting, we want to play exciting, expansive football and score a lot of goals and we should have gone in two or three up today.”

The former Wrexham and Southend United player, who arrived in South Somerset following his release by the North Wales side in the summer, made it perfectly clear he was not happy to hear the opening goal credited to Jordan Maguire-Drew after he headed home the play-maker’s cross.

It had appeared (from the Thatcher’s Stand at least) that Maguire-Drew’s effort had gone directly in, but Hyde was in no doubt that he had got a touch.

He said: “For me it was very clear. All the boys celebrated with me, it was a cross and a header, there is absolutely not clarification needed. It was very frustrating to hear another name announced because I didn’t even think it was in question.

Four minutes in to your debut for a football club and you score a goal, that gives you confidence. Jordan who crossed it ran over to me and it was not even up for debate, so very disappointing that they got it wrong.

Goals change games, so the first one was always going to be massive and with it being my first game I wanted to make an impact and drive us forward from the front.
