The Yorkshire-man spoke to Sky Sports News after hearing he had recieved the award. He said: "Last season we dominated games but didn't win them. We've started scoring goals and that is the most pleasing aspect.
"We've had a good start and had some convincing wins.
"We're not getting carried away but it's nice to be top of the league with a two-week break.
"It is difficult to assess the squad. It is a young team but they have got experience as well and they are a little bit wiser than they were last season."
