West Ham reserves coach Keen delighted with rookies' showing

West Ham United reserves boss Kevin Keen was delighted with some of his young players after victory this week over Derby.

"I think we deserved it," he told whufc.com. "It was two very young teams for a reserve game and a good experience for a couple of ours. Tom Harvey came in and did really well on one of his first appearances.

"He was probably the pick of our players but first half we were a little bit slack so we had a bit of a dig at them to get ready for the second half. I thought then we controlled it, and had chances without really finishing them off. It is a good win."

Turning to others who impressed, he said: "Daniel Kearns came on and did some really good things in the last ten minutes and Anthony Edgar kept going. It was a young team, but they kept going to the end and we could have had one or two more chances before the end."
