Guitar Ray

On the subject of the owners, the biggest failing was to trust David Flitcroft in the first place and then subsequently fail to recognise the direction the guy was taking the club in before it was too late. Other than that the other goings on are part and parcel for the vast majority of clubs at our level, including losing millions, unless you’ve got owners with vast wealth.

I don’t like to mention this but we’ve got far bigger problems than the combined shop and ticket office.

I didn’t reply to this at the time but have to say I’m yet to be convinced by your comments regarding Moore. Fair to say though that Flitcroft’s recruitment has hung both men out to dry.

What a terrible predicament to find yourself in.

That’s my view although I’m not sure about the “free hit” bit. Posh were on a different level with and without the ball, quicker and sharper all over the pitch. We simply couldn’t cope. When we won the ball they won it back with too much ease. The only positive was we didn’t lose by more. I was truly worried when I saw our team. The whole thing highlighting again just how dire our recruitment has been.

Yes, come to think of it, you’re right. Fair to say though that it did seem a bit of a panic move when we re-signed him.

Each to his own. Nobody I speak to would agree with you on Poveys, although he sells plenty so they must have more fans than just your good self. As we’re on the topic, does anyone know what’s going on with Hamil Oatcakes? I notice they’ve been shut for a few weeks now.

I tend to think the game will be harder now and more likely that Posh will be buoyed by their win rather than suffering from a come down after the highs of Sunday. Beyond the dream of picking up a point, or even 3, the main thing is not to see the GD hammered.

It’s worth remembering we released Willo and, from the outside at least, appear to have only re-signed him after failing to sign our other targets. I’d rather him than Loft but rather not keep him and Loft…..unless we sign an additional 3 strikers on top.

Oatcakes are the local delicacy/staple diet in these parts but you can still get a bad one.

Care to define the two?

No, just ok in my view.

Sadly.

Having lost today next Saturday becomes a must not lose. After that Cheltenham play Tuesday whilst we play Wednesday. We’ll be level on games with Burton and Cheltenham will still have a game in hand.

The only ideal result in that match is a draw. Indeed. It was 0-0 when they played just a month ago so a repeat would be great but we have to pick a point or 3 up ourselves.

Cheltenham have a game in hand on us, a better GD and have to play Burton.

The slight problem is that they play each other, so one team is guaranteed at least a point, we’ve got no such guarantees.

We did enough to miss plenty of opportunities to either bury the ball in the back of the net or make a simple pass to a better placed player. Chislett, Uche, Garrity, Smith should all be scoring.

The result of 3 transfer windows wasted by our waffling ex-DoF.

Today was another stark example of our terrible recruitment, although as bad as we were I thought we were better than the Cobblers for the majority of the game, yet we walk away on the end of a 2-0 defeat because we’ve missed enough chances to win 2 games but conceded 2 soft goals from our own bad play.

Ah yes, Roman roads, a nod back to far happier times, before the pot hole had been invented.

“A run with the ball past a couple of defenders”? What were they wearing on their feet? Lead diving boots?

Most folk will find it far easier to express themselves on here than to some stranger sitting next to them in the stand. That’s fact.

It’s easy to say things from the confines of your arm chair. Far harder to say them to someone’s face. I guess we’re all guilty to some degree.

There’s a lot more fight and aggression throughout the team. It’s not always about winning the ball outright, sometimes just preventing the opponent from winning the ball cleanly is enough. The other big change is that we’ve cut out a lot of the unforced errors that were so costly. We’re still making errors, all teams do, but they’re not killing us as they did in some of the earlier games under Moore.
