Graham Westley wants fear factor at Peterborough

New Peterborough boss Graham Westley is out to put the fear factor back into the ABAX Stadium.

And he believes a 5-3 success over Millwall - a first home win since taking charge - was the start of that process.

Westley said: "At home we will always play on the front foot and ensure it becomes a place where teams fear coming.

"This is a club that wants to play with freedom and expression - and that's what we got.

"We have some fantastic quality and the attacking performance we produced was first-class.

"We scored some great goals that will have excited people in the ground. Entertaining the fans is what we are here to do.

"At the other end there is clearly some work to do, but that work is very basic. There are hundreds of moments in a game where we can be better individually and as a team."

Posh twice powered into two-goal advantages before star turn Jon Taylor clinched victory in a thriller with eight minutes remaining, ending the Lions' unbeaten away record in the process.

Taylor was prominently involved as the hosts took command with two goals in the space of three minutes. Lee Angol pounced to nod in the rebound after a Taylor shot hit a post in the 16th minute and three minutes later he doubled the advantage himself when firing into the roof of the net.

Posh were dealt a blow by the loss of goalkeeper Ben Alnwick to injury in the first half and teenage replacement Dion-Curtis Henry endured a tough debut.

He conceded twice in the space of three minutes as Millwall clawed their way back onto level terms early in the second half courtesy of headers from Byron Webster and captain Tony Craig.

But Posh kicked on again with another double salvo of their own as substitute Chris Forrester provided a smart finish to a fine 69th-minute move and Conor Washington latched on to a Marcus Maddison pass to strike again three minutes later.

Millwall again had an answer as Mark Beevers headed in from close range almost immediately but Taylor finally sealed Posh's success when firing past Jordan Archer at his near post.

Millwall boss Neil Harris, who saw midfield pair Jimmy Adbou and Ed Upson go off injured, said: "It was probably the case of a game being too entertaining for my liking.

"I can't fault the boys for their effort and quality at times, but I'm very disappointed with the defending. We conceded some poor goals.

"It was important we put Peterborough's young goalkeeper under pressure and we did that early in the second half. When we got it back to 2-2 we were on the front foot, but we couldn't get another one.

"Peterborough were a little bit more clinical than us around the penalty area with the chances they created.

"We will look back in the game as a squad and be disappointed to get nothing from it."
