Peterborough United Post Match Thoughts

[Brin]

Just got back (to Guildford not San Francisco; that would have taken a bit longer...)

The biggest disappointment for me was Wiles in midfield. He is much more useful at full back and I think I would have preferred to bring on Lindsey to break up play and add a bit of coherence and forward drive. Substitutions were too late though I can understand the dilemma Warne faced since we were getting the measure of them in the last ten of the first half so do you persevere or change it up? The latter would have been the better option - but that's with hindsight.

Though he didn't quite have the game he'd had in the previous weeks, I still thought Barlasser was our stand out player in an indifferent squad.

Peterborough were nothing special but they had done their homework on us. Ogbene was well contained.

The ref left me with my head in my hands on several occasions with his decisions but all one can say is that Peterborough knew how to play to his preferences and we didn't - particularly their number 15. I'm not saying that's the right way to play football but it can get you results.

Overall not too disheartened. The other two games I saw were magic so this seemed a bit lame in comparison - but by no means shocking. We had some good moments. Had their goalie not pulled off that miracle save, we would have had a point - and felt pretty happy for it.

To the **** who threw the bottle, you're pathetic. All it did was soak a fellow fan's trousers (ie mine...)

I didn't realise until today when I was shown, me, Brin and CF64 were in the Bristol Rovers program last week (a photo at the Oxford game.) What was the name of that Spaghetti Western!!

I'll take the 'Good' position please.... Very frustrating tactics by Warne like you say and yes the idiot who threw the bottle wants banning for life! The Ref today gave them anything they wanted....I'm saying no more on the game or our players as it's already been covered by many.

Great pleasure meeting up with you again my friend. Have a safe journey home, chat soon.

Jack Taylor (ex- Barnet) looked useful. Can't see our chairman spending £500k on a non-league player. He'll take promotion,but only on the cheap Yet this is such a bad league that a bit of astute spending this month could get us back up. Tend to agree about Mattock. Wangled a new contract and now taking the proverbial. Like Barlaser but when he's not allowed time on the ball he's ineffective. We should have stuck Lindsay in midfield and played for a point today.

Monumental game on Tuesday night against Ipswich Town no doubt about it .

Monumental in a physiological way , win the game and it's a real boost with a tremendous feel factor surrounding it .

Lose it and the doubts creep in or they can do .

A must not lose game for me and a draw wouldn't be the end of the world but don't lose whatever you do .

It shows that a slight change can have an effect on another players game.
Be hopes it wasn’t piss in the bottle

Warney has got to have players switched on from the first min. How many times have we conceded or nearly conceded in the first few mins? Two sloppy defensive errors for their goals down the right side. We showed a bit of fighting spirit then. I was surprised how bad we were in the air against their small but admittedly nippy forwards. I thought we could get back in the game but they always looked dangerous on the break.

Ref was crap missing a stone wall pen in the last min and consistently falling for their diving antics particularly when we had them under the cosh in the second half.. Like father like son Mr Ferguson.

Think we missed the drive and energy of big tree today.Lets hope he is back on Tues.

Overall we should have had a draw

MOMs: Smith, Barlaser, Iekwe, Wood.

Good turn out of millers fans who got behind team well. Their seating and bogs were shyte.

Pen? I think that looked even worse than in real time the defender seemed to swipe at the ball with his arm.

I thought outside the box and still do

Even if he did it was still a free kick in a dangerous position.

Interesting point MT and you could be right, but however anyone sees it it's definitely not a corner.

Definitely no corner
