Peterborough United goalscorer on showing passion and fight in every game
Goalscorer Harry Leonard hopes he and his teammates have proved they care about Peterborough United.
Posh didn’t get the result they wanted against Burton Albion at the Weston Homes Stadium, but they showed passion and fight to secure a 1-1 draw, according to Leonard who bagged his 14th goal of the League One season despite playing in a more withdrawn role behind David Kamara and then Pemi Aderoju.
"I showed some passion when I saw the net rippling,” Leonard told the Posh Plus service. “It showed I care and the lads showed during the game that they care as well. There was plenty of fight and bodies being put on the line, and in games like this one when we had had a few chances to score it was a great feeling to get a goal.
"We got it early enough to believe we could score again, but it wasn’t to be.
"It was good play off some forwards with physicality. Dave and Pemi are big lads who are not shy about putting themselves about. We need to show that level of fight and aggression in every game though and it needs to start from the top of the pitch. If we can get that right then we can play our football.
"We need to take responsibility in every game. It’s hasn’t been good enough from me or the team to end up in this position. We’ve shown we can be one of the top sides in the division, but showing it for two or three months isn’t good enough. We definitely need to show it in the last three games now.”
