Leach, a substitute in midweek, showed Town fans there is life after Liam Baitup with a trademark finish to claim Town's first win of the season.

The ex-Boro and Hailsham striker is now desperate to grab a starting role against Croydon Athletic on Saturday and for the the trip to Burgess Hill on Monday.

Leach said, "Wednesday was a fantastic team performance and it shows we have a lot of fight and quality in the squad.

"To get the winner on my debut was fantastic and hopefully we can go on and get maximum points from the next two games.

"I think this could be a big season for the club. Everyone knows we struggled last year but we have strengthened and I think we can aim for the upper mid-table and kick on from there.

"For me it's just great to be involved in the first team and hopefully I can weigh in with as many goals as possible."

Ady Colwell will hope to have central defender Kevin Rose available for the mid-day kick-off at home to Croydon tomorrow. Colwell said, "If Kevin is fit then he plays because our defence is better with him in the side.

"He certainly would not stand for any of the nonsense we saw in the first half against Whyteleafe.

"We have two tough games coming up this weekend but the players have shown they have the desire to do well."
