LEE Peacock has been ordered to bring his shooting boots back to pre-season training as he prepares to resume his Town career in the position he first started - as a striker.
Fans favourite Peacock was moulded into a combative midfielder by former boss Paul Sturrock, but spent the last month of the 2007/8 season back in the firing line.
Now manager Maurice Malpas has told Peacock to concentrate on hitting the opposition where it really hurts - on the scoreboard - much to the player's relief.
"I'm back up front," revealed Peacock. "Maurice Malpas sees me more as a striker, so I've just got my head around that now.
"When I stopped playing up front I didn't think I would miss it, but now I'm back there I really enjoyed that last month, especially as we were getting some good results.
"I've spent most of my life playing there and I know I can get a lot sharper than I have been the last couple of years."
