Peterborough post match reflections

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.

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.

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.

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.

6 defeats in a row,when did that last happen...must be a championship season, at this level.....
No idea.
Only seen the home games in those games, but apart from maybe Bolton, the others sounded the same.....very poor.
Watched Matt 's interview and I feel for the guy,he seemed a broken man.
A proper decent bloke who clearly loves the club,but the injuries have killed us,plus there's some inexperience and naivety from the manager, which you will get with a rookie boss.
Question is, do we stick with him,or rip it up and start all over again ?
Plus he has hinted more than once now that everything isn't rosey behind the scenes, is that players or higher up ?
Either way if we lose on Sunday I think he will be gone, and I don't mean sacked.
This will make some on here ecstatic.

2 key moments for me yesterday were McWilliams giving up when trying to keep up with Lisbie after about 10 mins and Etete trying some sort of weird scorpion kick volley instead of sticking his head on it.

Too many passengers. Not enough effort.

I think as a fan base we can accept not being good enough. But we cannot accept players not trying.

Yes the Etete whatever it was? It was oh so more easy to have headed the ball so why didn't he? As for McWilliams, he looked way off the pace all game not just that instance. He as though, to be fair, been out of it for several weeks so a little rusty maybe?

That's a bit harsh on Etete Scum, the ball was a yard behind him. The bloke in front of me, who maybe on MM as he was looking at posts yesterday during the game, did nothing but complain about everything Etete did whilst my rose tinted glasses feel he brings something to the team and has been involved in quite a few of our goals in his limited time on the pitch. He looks awkward and is not a natural goal scorer but he upsets opponents and tracks back to help the defence/midfield.

Rafferty was really pissed off with him about sommat. I think it was for trying a flick instead of holding it up but they kept chipping at each other for a few minutes just before half time.
