No point in having a trialist unless your prepared to sign them if they show ability and desire during the tial. So for me this looks like a good signing with plenty of experience to go with it.

I think Tutonda should start against Ipswich as an opportunity to show what he's capable of. If he keeps up the performance of tonight it won't be long before he's a regular first team starter. Disagree, Tutonda has promise but he's a bit loose/wasteful with ball at the moment. Stick with Leahy but Tutonda can push him as the season progresses. Leahy has been good in pre season but Tutonda is a level above him, for me he has to be first choice

Let’s hope Tutonda is as good as his first two games. But early to judge, he was non league for the last 4 years where Leahy has been playing league 1 football and played in a Scottish Cup Final. But the competition for places will be good, no one to get complacent over their place. UTG!

Younger forumers may not remember it but in the 70s & 80s we used to do the Pirate Pogo, which was dementedly leaping up and down as a collective terrace mass until we knocked an elder supporter’s hat or glasses off and were told to calm down (these days I’d be the bloke whose glasses were knocked off!). Eventually the random shouting that accompanied the pirate pogo was replaced by the chant let’s go effing mental which gave way to let’s all do the conga (or to give it the true Bristol twang let’s all do the Congal!). I was thinking in honour of David’s DRC birthplace whether we should resurrect it as let’s all do the Congo. Then I thought about it some more and whilst several individuals dotted about the terraces doing the pirate pogo may have an effect I can’t see a conga line with every participant two metres distant from each other looking anything but strange! Perhaps trying to do a socially distanced one step beyond might look worse but it is a close run thing!
His name is Dave Tutonda Now let’s all do the Conga La, La, La, Laaaa La, La, La, Laaaa (ad nauseam)

First interview, and a really good one at that. Very level headed but confident guy. Comes across very well.

After you mentioned that JCH's first interview at Posh was a bit of a car crash, I was intrigued and just watched it. To be honest I'm not sure what you mean? He's not quite as articulate as Tutonda but he still comes across as an ambitious, confident and likeable bloke, just like he did for us.
There's been a fair few slightly negative comments towards JCH since his departure came about, which I think is a bit cheap. He did a great job for us and we'd have almost certainly been relegated without his goals when he first came in. I thank him and wish him well. Just not against us 😀

He seems a goid kid, wish him all the best Thought the JCH interview was really good. Can't blame him at this stage of his career for making the move - he's at the age of his career 'big contract' and he has got 4 years reportedly at a much higher salary that we could offer. Hope he does well at Peterborough - though not against us of course. You are right in that Tutonda comes across well and is clearly hungry. I noticed a few rough edges in his game defensively in the friendlies and I would predict he will start in the bench with Leahy in the starting line up.

Yes, it’s quite funny. I read it that they need some team to create some rivalry with them. I think their biggest rival is Boreham Wood, who’ve actually done better than them in the past year or so. We were rivals for a year 5 years ago, thats all. After that last game of the Conference season when they beat Gateshead to win the league our fortunes have gone in two different directions, ours up, theirs down more or less. Now they’re not even one of the top teams in the National League though I hope Beadle does well there. UTG!
