    Only at Peterborough, 7 years ago at L1 has he managed it. 11 in 33 which is good but since?

    I agree. He's had a lot of injuries.
    25 minutes off the bench, making an impact, might suit all parties.

    For what it's worth I've been imporessed with East so far, looks very tidy and I like how he tries to get beyond the strikers from midfield too

    I don't think we can rely on Lee Angol to score enough goals against packed defences to get us promoted. But, played as the central target/link man with other goalscorers around him, I think he has the close control, vision and passing ability to create plenty of chances for others as well as winning plenty of free kicks in dangerous positions. That's what he was doing very well at the end of last season when he took over from Cook as the focal point of the attack.
    But it seems that MH now sees him in his earlier role as a wide left forward, cutting in. I'm not convinced he's cut out for that role any more, because he now seems reluctant to run hard for fear of doing his hammy again.

    He's third choice as the target man.

    I dunno about that presentation. A bit cringeworthy for a first round win. Did they get an open top bus taking them home? However, it’s a good win and some much needed morale. As always with a cup game victory, it’s carrying that form into the next league match which is important.

    After complaining that we were cursed on Saturday I still went last night and it was a great time :p

    For people thinking the celebrations were OTT, you had to be there to understand it. The atmosphere was rocking to say there was only 4k home fans, and the celebration wasn't so much about getting into the 2nd round of the cup, but more about our first win of the season and a good come-back performance against a mostly first-string Championship side. After the worry of failing to beat 10 man Donny and falling to Barrow, it was a relief seeing what we saw on the pitch - as if our summer efforts were coming to fruition.

    If we had won our first two games of the season and then beaten a fellow L2 side on the night, it wouldn't have been such a celebration

    I agree there was good banter between the supporters as well, beating a Yorkshire club in the championship felt satisfying and the crowd backed the players to the end. First time since 2015 I’ve enjoyed a cup tie and it’s a while I’ve enjoyed a live game as much full stop. I stayed behind and celebrating and don’t apologise for it, it was a very satisfying game to win and those that didn’t attend missed out imo.

    If it's put some belief back into the players and helps them crack on then I'm all for it but as you say, it's about making sure they carry that form forward now. Let's hope that's what happens, and they don't just get carried away and start thinking that all they need to do to win is to turn up.
