Peterborough United Post Match Thoughts

[flourbasher]

Although conceding a lead is never good I was thoroughly entertained yesterday which is what it’s all about.
End to end, six goals and we went toe to toe with a fancied team on their own patch. Yes they had injuries but our best defender, best midfielder and our talisman striker weren’t available with the latter missing for part of the match .

Vast improvement from what was on show a few weeks ago. We haven’t lost for ages ( I’m ignoring the inevitable Birm defeat).
Defending not good enough yesterday which I am confident will be sorted on the training pitch
Some people have said we’re average. Average Town / United FC would not be able to give Peterborough the stern test that we did and let’s face it we should have won it with wonderful chances missed after they equalised

Raggett he's a plodder Kelly he's same as rest before him here on early retirement. Quite a few of our signings fall into those categories season upon season.

Bang average performances around the team. Didn't merit a two goal lead and squandered it because of amateurish tactics. Posh looked very tidy and with so many young players I think their future looks pretty bright. Should have stolen a win but we fell apart too soon in the second half.

Not even commenting on Hugill any more, it's embarrassing he's here.

I admire your persistence to keep pushing the positive aspects flour but you can’t polish a turd as they say.
We’re average and are going nowhere this season.
What’s that saying you can fool some of the people all of the time etc that's aimed at SE not you but it’s true just the usual bull from him.
We’re average just like the manager pal unfortunately.

Have to disagree yak.. were above AVG for this division...
I said by the end of October we will be in the top 8 and still believe we will be.
We again had enough chances to win and whilst we only had around 30 percent of the possession we attacked with purpose. Posh 70 percent resulted in less chances at goal and less time in the opposition box.

As others have said I give up with hugill. I wouldn't even bother giving him a seat on the bench though again as others have said he will probably be captain against wrexham

Totally agree. Poor defending for their goals but we could and should have had six. It was literally men v boys and ok, they pass it nicely and some of them will probably go on to bigger and better things, but I think we are starting to come together. This is league one - remember that. Rarely does pure football work. However, if jch is out for a spell, we will miss him. His goal is what he is all about - and we don’t have anyone else to replace him.

We play percentage football a bit like ice hockey dump it in the corner and hope to win it near the net and feed off scraps.
Each to their own but for me it’s anti football. We have low possession because we aim it long and hope for the best at times. They get it back and we’re under pressure.
We’re not good to watch. We can’t defend that well.
It’s average not very pretty and looking at the table not that effective apart from an average position.
He’s also wasted some of the budget on average players too so overall I would say we’re a mid table average team.
Evans imo will leave us in a worse position than when he joined us and not just results wise.

That was the main method used by PW and we had probably the most successful period in our history in terms of cup wins and promotions.
None of the main achievements would have come to fruition without the attacking exploits and aggression of our centre half at that time.

Flour pal you can’t compare SE to PW, this season is awful tactics and honestly not very good at all to endure.
PW had his limitations I agree but I don’t enjoy going to watch this team at all under PW it was different pal.
It can change and may well do but I have to agree the after match comments from SE are becoming more embarrassing and deluded.
Don't necessarily agree that we are average but I’m finding all the bluster and usual spin from SE insulting to the paying supporters who really aren’t stupid.
I’ll always back the manager but I’m not seeing how yesterday as an example was anything other than another wasted opportunity and our weaknesses and sketchy recruitment are becoming more obvious.
He’s promised a lot and currently he’s not delivering but it’s a long season and things can change.

Still a lot of work to do pocket, im not suggesting otherwise.
It took PW quite a while too after inheriting a dire situation.
The goals from JCH and Wilks have been shown repeatedly on independent sporting sites over the weekend suggesting to the viewer to look at the quality of the finishing. I agree so I watched them all again. Exciting, edge of the seat stuff.

Further improvement required but SE already knows that
