Good opening 2 minutes then Posh got in the ascendancy. We gave them too much time and too much space. They won all the 2nd balls. No great surprise that they scored. That seemed to wake us up. We got closer, we moved, we pressed, we got the 2nd balls. We showed that we can play, that we have fight, that the squad is starting to gel. There will be ups and downs along the way and it's a long hard season. Too soon to see patterns other than there are no certainties. Going into round 4 matches last week, Bolton and the Posh were the top 2. Posh have now lost 2 on the bounce and Bolton lost 0-4 at home to Wigan and only managed a draw at Burton. Fans need to get behind the team. Stop the myriad of "wrist slashing" type posts we saw when Posh scored. By HT they'd almost all been deleted. They should never have been written. Little wonder 442 labelled us as the biggest online moaners. We're supporters. Let's support. Let's be measured in our responses. Let us stop the knee jerk reactions when we concede with more than an hour still to play. No more moaning when the opposition has a good spell. They're not just going to lie down and let us walk over them. I suppose it's all indicative of the instant society in which we live. In reality, things are never a 1 or a 10 but somewhere in between.
I didn’t get a chance to listen or watch yesterday but sounds like we played well. How did we line up? Was it 3 at the back again?
Cheers mate…nice to get a positive performance out of that formation then if it’s how we’ll stay.
I've watched some extended highlights, we seemed very static early doors with the defence particularly so. As the game got going we became more proactive and this helped the defence settle down!
Waggy seemed really in the mood, it's great to see a focal point for the attack. Like McGoldrick, Waggy doesn't treat the ball as a hot potato and that control he gives stabilises the whole team.
9 points keeps us in touch at the top end allowing Warne some flexibility to bring more bodies in. Great 3 points.
