I’m gutted. We played much better than recent and P’Borough deserved f*ck all from that! I hate football sometimes. As gutted as I am I’ve got to say Peterborough we’re a decent side and Bonham made some good saves , a draw was a fair reflection of the game. We played well, but if we hadn’t we would have got smashed Peterborough have got some very good players. |

Why the meltdown?! Posh are a playoff team full of attacking talent. Maddison and Dembele on the bench! Tomlin, Godden and Toney starting. They ping a last minute worldly in and it’s all doom and gloom. We carried on from last Tuesday and played some cracking football first half. Yes they dominated possession as the game went on but when you have the players that they have, and we’re still scrambling in the relegation zone, that’s natural. Yes we all want signings. And wins every game. And to keep the ball for the last ten minutes. But we don’t live in a fairytale land, we are where we are. But looking at that performance, that was Another step forward for me in terms of some our attacking combinations. And it’s another point, one defeat in 9, and more positive signs. However, we do need 4 points minimum from Southend and Shrews given the three games after. Agree 100% That was the best 45 minutes we have played this season, far better than any of the crap DC served up that's for sure Really... Didn’t go to Blackpool away or the home game we were 3-1 up at half time and that’s how it finished. Some people got short memories. Today was our best home performance under g.c. Did we deserve 3 pts today? No. Peterborough were crap in the 1st half tonight. They couldn’t keep hold of the ball at all in that 1st 45. We looked lively for once in the 1st half. Nothing more. |

You must have been watching a different game to me tonight. I was at the Mem and I totally disagree with your assessment. We played very well first half, the best I have seen us play this season Peterborough woke up after the penalty and looked to be a very good side. We definitely dropped too deep from the off in the second half and Peterborough got more on top as the game went on. Their quality players and superior fitness told in the final twenty minutes and we were hanging on. No surprise when they equalised and in my opinion a point each was a fair result. |

Looks like THD played him onside for the first goal. Second goal looks like Ollies man |

Looks like THD played him onside for the first goal. Second goal looks like Ollies man Olly had a real mixed game tonight. Great finish for sure but all night he’d do something good immediately followed by something poor , very frustrating but an average performance , lines looked rusty but too had an ok game and these two would be my midfield pairing moving forward with sercombe filling in for lines when rested. Upson isn’t good enough, not enough fight , not a playmaker bit of a nothing player really. |

I think we’ll stay up. Still in Oz so I can’t comment on the performance but it’s good to hear a bit of reason amongst a load of OTT stuff. Others were talking about getting stuffed yet we nearly beat a top six club with some very good players after they scored what sounded like a very good goal right at the end. UTG! |

Just looked at the goals.
I would say THD just about played Toney onside for their first goal.
Blaming OC for their second is very harsh. Was in a good shape shuffling across and got to him quick, their bloke got a quick touch and shot off. I would more look at Lines allowing Dembele 10
Yards to turn and run at us. But now we’re really looking for problems that aren’t there, was a great hit.

If it goes over you hear everyone saying “you can shoot from there all day”, “good shape” etc etc

Fitness should have favoured us. We didn’t play Saturday. They did. |

If you weren't there and you're having a meltdown then frankly your opinion is worth squat. We played very well tonight against a good team. We've proven we can compete with teams in the top end of the table and have a decent go. In twelve months time we could be in a very different place and by that I do not mean League Two. Play like that until the end of the season and we will be fine. We're on an upwards trajectory. A trajectory is just that, there are blips along the way. Burton and Wycombe were two of them but Graham has us playing better week by week. We should be encouraged by the performance tonight. A big shout out for the 12th man tonight who had Tomlin in their pocket! Going to disagree with a few points on this post: I watched on iFollow, I had a better view than most of the crowd on the game and the incidents. (Albeit I'm not having a meltdown) That doesn't mean an opinion is worth squat, that is quite disrespectful. (An example: I said immediately if you look back that the P'boro goal was onside. Everyone at the ground, including the media, said it was 100% offside. So who's opinion is worth squat now???) We did play well tonight, that's true. However, I don't see how we've proven we can compete with teams in the top end of the table: P'boro: 1 point (2 games) Luton: 0 points Pompey: 0 points Barnsley: 0 points Sunderland: 0 points Charlton: 0 points Doncaster: 0 points That's 1 point from the current top 7. I'm all for being optimistic, but let's be realistic here. Yes, if we do play like that for the rest of the season we'll be fine, but we won't let's be honest. Let's instead look at the 29 games because unless something changed, the season didn't start last night. RE: Upwards trajectory, I tend to disagree - 3/12 points doesn't sound like we're on an upwards trajectory. Burton & Wycombe were terrible games. Accy was ok. Last night was good. Anyway, I'll stand to be corrected on the trajectory with hopefully a nice 3 points at Southend |

Peterborough have some quality players and are a very good side,why did they look crap in the first half because we were on top of our game and made them look poor give the lads some credit they take enough stick gasheadbatesy. |

When our defenders were complaining about the first goal, the linesman pointed at THD, to indicate that he had played their forward onside. |

According to another thread this was only available to users outside the U.K. and I’m quite technical and have struggled to get around that using a VPN before. Everything else is a matter of perspective really. We came extremely close to beating a top side and played some very good football |

Nobody has mention how good Nichols was thought he had a fantastic game. Get a striker up top with him and think could have a good partnership.

Yes. I thought Nicholls played very well. Some lovely touches and turns and clever passes. Let's hope he's finally coming good.
