He must be made up, the lad.

Could be a crucial player for us in the next twelve games.

Players reaction said a lot. Reminded me of how happy the squad was when Twine scored that free-kick after his injury woes

I know Anthony had two assists tonight

But I would love to see Edwards on one wing and Benson on the other.

With his right foot as well, usually cuts in from the right and curls it in with the left.
Great shot.

So pleased for him.

To have the technical ability at our disposal of Edwards, Benson, Cullen, Anthony, Sarmiento & Hannibal is scary! Got to make it count.

Stunning. Made up for him, and surely Parker can see he's not just someone to bring on, possibly, in the 89th minute.

What a fabulous photo that is. I know a fair chunk of the football has been pedestrian but we do have some great characters in this team.

you only have to look how absolutely buzzing the fans are with his goal, I can't imagine the lift he's just given the dressing room. We've seen before, he can win games on his own

Sensational goal, possibly my favourite from this season and even better to see how happy he was to score it. I get the feeling he is happier now than at any point since he's joined. Could be nonsense but I don't think I've seen him smiling like that since he joined the club.

Love Brownhill's reaction. Looks like he isn't shocked at all to see who just smashed in that wonder strike.

Aside from the brilliant goal I have been a bit surprised by how sharp Benson has looked in his two appearances after such a long time out. Hope he starts in the cup next week.
