    Scores a hat-trick with some great finishes but not only that.

    His work rate was crazy, the block on his own area to set up his third then at least two ties he covered at left back for Cadden when he'd gone forward and got dispossesed.

    Last season he really worked on the goal poacher element of his game, now he is adding positionbal sense and all round thinking.

    Looks like he has turned into a great team player and goal scorer.

    I liked the pace and awareness he showed to get on the end of the cross for the 2nd and the finish.

    The finish was a bit jammy but he covered a LOT of grass at speed for his 3rd. The delight from
    his teammates was brilliant to see.. :)

    The second goal was wonderfully taken.

    I think he's relishing being the main man.

    My favorite part was Cadden shepherding the ball across the line for Devante's third. He could have easily panicked and made sure it was in, but he wanted to preserve Devante's hat trick. Great team work.

    Could he have been considered offside if he'd put it in?
    No idea, just speculating.

    He looked well onside to me from the east stand upper. I was fully expecting him to smash it in but full credit to him for having the presence of mind and selflessness to watch it in.

    Cadden was clearly not offside, it was a 1-on-1 with keeper when Cole shot, Cadden and Cotter were on the edge of the box while Cole was a yard or 2 inside it. Cadden would have known that so much kudos to him for his unselfishness.

    You can just see Cole scoring 20+ this season and leaving on a free at the end as he is out of contract. Good luck to him if his goals help to get us promoted.

    Which would have been ridiculous because we should all want our top scorer under a longer contract. Let's hope nobody tests the waters with a bid in this transfer window.

    We could have already offered him an extension, but his agent telling him he could get him a better paying gig.

    Watch his little run to pull the defender out of position leaving an acre of space for Kitch to run into and score the fifth.

    This is just one game of course, but it was amazing to see Cole show such awareness and determination like he did. I've not seen that before from him, and if its down to some extra 1 on 1 coaching, then credit goes to them all. :)
