Match

Jimmy-Jay Morgan sends Peterborough United through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Jimmy-Jay Morgan obliged against Milton Keynes Dons. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Peterborough United.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Cian Hayes

Successful dribbles: 33. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

Jimmy-Jay Morgan, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.24

A mark of 8.24 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Peterborough United

Jerónimo Domina was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Harry Leonard

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Harry Leonard the difference as Peterborough United beat AFC Wimbledon

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Harry Leonard. 2‑0 against AFC Wimbledon, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

Harry Leonard in the eights

A performance of 8.12 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Peterborough United

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

No hiding place for Bradley Ihionvien

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bradley Ihionvien, and the manager let it.

In brief
