Peterborough post match reflections

[mellowmiller]

Money is the only tool TS has. If he isn?t willing to spend, or he can?t, then he should go.

What ideas do you have Sherlock? You?ve back MH to the hilt but you?re now proven wrong. Let?s hear it instead of your usual smart arsed comments.

I have no idea what should happen because I don't know what the financial situation is at the club.
As far as I'm aware we still have a manager but you're the one chucking names about as replacements we should go for.
Also, you're saying TS should go. What do you think would happen if he took your advice?

[mellowmiller]

Them?s is the rules. I?m sure you will know better so please enlighten your audience. It must be really hard for you at the moment - thoughts and prayers

They are not the rules. People can continue to receive compensation if they subsequently gain employment unless there is something in the severance package that specifies otherwise.

You should be feeling down too about the situation at the club but you are clearly loving it because it's more important for you to be right with your views about the manager. Sad really.

That?’s a very good question. Two things for me. Firstly, the run was very fortunate. I don?’t recall particularly good performances and several of the result were fortunately - like Barnsley for example.

Secondly, I think it comes down to player belief in the manager. There were several unnecessary changes made when players returned. For example, shoehorning Holmes back in to the side. These things unsettle teams and player belief erodes. And now unbelievably the saviour Holmes has now disappeared. I?’m sure the squad have little confidence in the manager now.

NWC, T Holmes had been out through injury and Hamshaw had one month left to look at him through December. The decision was made to use him in every game possible to see if his services were worth retaining or, do you believe he should have just left him in the background claiming a wage without playing?

Turns out he was absolutely pants and not a dot on what he showed on his first game for us. There is a player in there somewhere but he chose not to deliver the second time around.

It was a decision that had to be made for the good of the club. If the current rumour doing the rounds is true, then good if Holmes has done one and gone back to Luton, who they don't even want at their club. Hamshaw called it, saw it, and got it bang on for me.

Do you think he was on peanuts when he signed for us? For me, that's good money saved for another player in the January window.

Couldn't make the game today. A rat resided in my EV engine compartment overnight and took a shine to some cabling which caused the battery management system to fail. I'd like to publicly thank the rat for saving me the distress of watching us unpicked by another bang-average League One outfit! (I did watch it on telly though).

I'm in the don't sack the manager camp. The main reason being the unprecedented injury crisis that MH has had to contend with. For a large part of the season he has struggled to establish a consistent back line due to a CB injury glut. As the CB problem resolved, he is now faced with a midfield crisis and what can only be described as 'last chance saloon' front men. Today Hugill clearly couldn't head the ball for good reason and Etete failed to impose himself yet again. Poor Ayers is learning his trade on the job but is far from first team standard at present.

To top this all, his premiere player, Sam Nombe, has been absent for all but a few games. The absence of a mobile forward who has the ability to make runs to accept the ball out wide and who has the uncanny knack of scoring goals should not be underestimated.

I'd dearly like us shift out the deadwood this January and retain our better players whilst bringing in some attacking quality. If MH achieves this but still fails to manage the squad and tactics sufficiently well, then by all means consider his future.

Finally, club ownership is about leadership. It's no good turning up during the good times to receive the appreciation of the crowd only to turn your back in the poor times and leave the troops to fend for themselves. Show some steel and make a statement about your intentions Tony - that's the least we supporters deserve!

He would be an improvement but other options include Artel or Woodman (Bromley)

just what as Artel ever done as a football manager,

When did people start talking like this because it must have passed me by.

If you don?t realise how much of a prick you sound I suggest reading it out loud in a cockney accent.

Firstly Brin, MH should have been focussed on keeping the run going and results as opposed to “testing out” Holmes. If he was good enough, he would have fought his way back into the team when the time was right.

And second, it was MH who brought him into the club and paraded him around like the next Terry Butcher after one performance. Several times he lauded him and basically claimed he would make a massive difference on his return. So, he gets no sympathy from me when it comes to the Holmes situation.

What it demonstrates to me is that MH hasn’t got a clue. He’s not doing the homework on the players before they come. He’s not treating the players right when they are here either. It’s a mess and it’s of his doing.

All out tonight aren?t they. And don?t call me a prick you goon.

He has a promotion under his belt, now tell me what has MH got?

You should be feeling down too about the situation at the club but you are clearly loving it because it's more important for you to be right with your views about the manager. Sad really.

Usual retort - so you?re a better fan than me are you. Sad man.

As I said, you?ve pinned your flag to the MH mast, so you?ll have to suffer the consequence.
