Why do we always need to find a scapegoat to criticise? Seems TN has had a few good games so he's off the hook at the minute... Always has to be one... shame we can't all just enjoy a good result and a good run of form without finding the need to single out players (one of our own, at that) for criticism

Ah well, he didn't and he could (should) have won it for us in a tightly-contested affair against another promotion contender. Thought Ollie largely played well apart from a few wayward passes. He's always hard a cynical part to his game - you need players like that IMO. How about calling out Posh no 3 for blatant play acting to get OC's first card? Glad he risked a second card to stop what could have been a late winning goal, that could well make a big difference come May.

Fair enough, I guess its just a natural instinct to stick up for those in the blue and white who are committed to the cause.
I'm all for giving out a bit of stick if I dont think someone is trying but thankfully that hasnt been necessary with this group.
Until someone turns up that deserves the shirt more than OC I'll back him to the hilt.

As for TN, I rate him, well more than OC anyway. OC however is poor. He's a midfielder that can't pass, lacks discipline, get a caught out too often. I just don't rate him, it seems many others are of the same opinion.

I assume you would have started Hargreves today then?

If you'd been there you'd have seen him have his best half of a game this season

If you'd been there you'd have seen him have his best half of a game this season So I missed one half of a game and my opinion should change based on that? Forget all these past few years of watching him? Great logic topper.

I rate him as a player. The incident itself was stupid and could/should of resulted in a red which might of cost us the game

Agree with the OP. Ollie seems to lose his head to easily and today giving that freekick away on the edge of the area near the end could have cost us a point. Another appearance today and another yellow card, could have been far worse but for the referees inconsistency.

If he had given the free kick away the player would have had a clear shot at goal/could have picked a perfect pass for a goal, if of I was OC I'd have done exactly the same, never mind he gets this week's #scapegoat award.

So th majority of folk who watch us play regularly were unanimous that he was th best player 2018/19 season.
I think that means he performed pretty well.
