Peterborough post match reflections

[Brin]

Brin - as a moderator on this site, I would expect something more measured as a reply. Please check the thread above and see if I have called anyone a prick? You?ll see I haven?t. Perhaps then, you should spend your time trying to police that sort of behaviour. Or is Mr Angry one of your pals?

NWC, my reply to you was on point. Tonight you're clearly having a spat with Scum yet you copy and paste my reply to you, add his and say ''all out tonight aren't they?'' pretty petty and childish wouldn't you say. You then go to tell me how to deal with someone calling you a prick and is he one of my pals, again, below the belt and uncalled for.

I will have a word with Scum but may I suggest, you give it a rest for tonight and come back more refreshed tomorrow. Only advising you and you don't have to take the offer. Things like this can quickly escalate before you know it and get out of hand and we don't want that do we? We're all Millers at the end of the day with totally different views and that's where the respect should remain.

We have a clown for a keeper. 1. Horrendous position and misjudgement to a ball across the 6 yd. I would love to hear the thought processes. 2. Had acres of time to get down to 2, yet practically watched the ball sail by. If you can?t read the play, be in the right position, you will fail as a keeper.

Shots do not always go at a nice comfy height. When they are not, goal.

[ManorFarmMiller]

Clear from his interview there are players at the club that dont want to be here, due to injuries they are having to play though. No idea who these are, but not good. Feel for the guy, a good sized chunk of our wage budget is tied up in Dawson, Raggett, James, Rafferty, Powell, Kelly, Hughill, Jules & McWilliams - i am guessing that the players referred to are in that population.

Other things that grate - how can we be under so much pressure defensively when WE have a corner? Why are we the only team in the league that just punt every free-kick long & high into the opposition keepers arms? What is the point of Martha?

I fear Mansfield will be Hamshaws last game - then god knows what comes next!

[Derbymiller]

Stop attacking each other, it is childish and pointless focus on the issues at hand the awful leadership from the owner a man that loves the plaudits but cannot cope with any criticism, hence why the club is full of yes men/women. A manger that is not up to the job, he knows it and it is clear to anyone that is seeing this shambles of a season and by his own admission a group of players in this squad see it. All the arguments for him staying fall into the 1. Budget 2.not his squad 3.injuries 4. He needs more time 5. Nobody would come camps. Nobody that wants him to stay can put a rationale argument as to why he is a good coach or manager!! Where are the arguments to explain how his tactics are good, his team selection is good his in game decisions are good, nothing just excuses for failure. TS is the route cause of our issues he has turned his back on us his customers and he is Nero whilst RUFC burns. Our club is in a spiral that it cannot pull out of if the owner doesn't do his job as the custodian of RUFC and lead.Please stop getting angry at your fellow fans, they might have a different opinion but they care like you care, we are on the same side.

I have to agree.
I’ve not heard one credible reason to keep MH except from what you’ve listed. Not one poster can list his Qualities, strengths, or abilities.
It’s a list of excuses.
As far TS its imo apparent that he’s not going to get us out of this situation. He’s worse than MH no leadership no drive no interest.

NWC, what do you mean by 'all out tonight aren't they?' Here's me thinking I'm having an adult conversation with someone and your retort is this......jeez. I'll leave you to the others who seem to have got under your skin.

Brin - my sincere apologies. I didn’t mean to have quoted you in the original reply to scum. I’m not sure why that happened and I can see your point in relation to that. I was not inferring that you were “one of them”.

However Scums response was uncalled for and damn right rude. If he doesn’t like someone’s comments and can only be abusive then I suggest he does not get involved. Up and until that point I don’t think I have ever interacted with him.

[Jocksgloves1]

I thought we matched them in the first half in everything but up front. Baptiste had a great time down the left, and Dawson made two excellent saves. Could have gone in at least a goal behind.
It all went wrong with the long ball into the empty left -back position, a comedy goal effectively finishing the match. Can't fault the effort and application. Second goal went through a crowded penalty area.
Three needless yellow cards for charging the keeper ( who was excellent by the way). It's not the 1950's, showed their frustration. Loved the players passive/aggressive clapping of the old blokes in the kopend shaking their fists and booing. They've still got some spirit after all.

You are very precious. It?s just words honey.

Have you ever worked on a shop floor, played Sunday league or had a few pints in the county?

These are throw away comments. Get over it and move on. Or cry to the mods like a baby.

NWC- you are a very special boy with lots of positive attributes to offer to the world. Keep shining brightly you beautiful person.

Better?

[Scum-Triumphant]

Bit angry tonight are you? Perhaps lay off the booze for a while. You clearly have some issues to resolve.

Nowt to do with alcohol. I?m always a bit obtuse.

[RU66]

Signings most can't take the intensity of league 1 football. Hall Martha not used to it that's showing. Get Revell bring his backroom staff with him give us more of a chance of getting out of this disastrous season.

[Brin]

FAO Scum and NWC.

Come on now fellas enough. Let's cut out the school yard name calling and look to interact with each other. It's a new year, a fresh start if you like so let peace exist and just move on.

You don't have to read each others posts but, should you do so then at least respect the other persons views/points even if you don't agree with them. Emotions are running high at the moment and we all want to vent our spleen but let's not make it personal to one another. UTM.

At the end of last season he managed to P8 W4 D2 L2, 14PTS with a team of SE players that had just lost 4-0 at home to Crawley and had 45PTS from the previous 38 games. Skillfull management/coaching or simply new manager bounce with players that hated playing for SE despite many being hand picked by him. I'm sure many will say the latter, probably the ones who say our 9 game unbeaten run was lucky whilst refusing to see that some of our defeats have been unlucky (obviously some haven't) and refusing to see that we are in the midst of a Titanic sized injury crisis.

As Billy Ocean says, "When the going gets tough......". If he's given the chance and is still up for the challenge, the next 4-6 weeks will show if MH is a good manager/coach. Some want to give him the chance, others don't.

[caytonmiller]

This board is like the club infighting some truths some lies some exaggeration.
From someone who knows how to lose it. My advice calm down and take a breath it?s probably going to get worse before it gets better.

Reason for my post in the Blackpool thread. Social media at it's finest

Fair enough mate.

Happy 2026 y?all

CAM, it's every fans personal choice but, weighing up all that has unfolded this season, I'm in the 'give him a chance to prove himself' camp. He though, has to take on some responsibility and make team changes first by dropping the back 3 formation, it ain't working.

Benching Martha. Having a sit down with the players who he feels aren't puffing their chests out enough or remaining professional.

Clear the air, have a players union rep in if they isist but something has to be met head on and cleared quickly are we are going down.
