Peterborough (A) match thread - 10th March

[Walka003]

Thank god we've signed a left back who hasn't played since October from the American second division. Our prayers to this shambles of a performance have been answered.

Damage limitation now I suspect - the goal difference of the teams around us is broadly similar, so we could do without a 4 - 0 dragging ours down below Burton and further below Cheltenham.  Only one away game out of the 4 left after tonight, so we need to make those games pay.

Walters and Massey have to come off. Walters has just stood about watching. Nowhere near his man for the goal. 

Never see anyone put a tackle in, especially the younger players. We get close, stand in front of them and let them pass the ball around us. Plant and Walters especially

You never know he could be good and what we need.  🤣

Tad late tho.

Feel like I’m going nuts. I thought we were pretty good considering how awful the squad is and the quality of the opposition!

Can't believe they are giving Plant any training on defending because he is absolutely useless at it. Mind you they've done their homework playing 2 wingers. Can we declare at half time.

Plant for me , WAS an attacking player with an eye for goal when he burst onto the first team picture. 

Crosby in his wisdom played him as a wing back. Moore followed suit.

Again purely recruitment issue as we have no decent wing backs.

Peterborough pay a lot better wages than us for better players, that about sums us up

Agreed - I think he's put there because he has the legs, and puts in a shift - but it isn't easy for him.

...and we've been so good at recruitment lately.... how puzzling 😃

[Houston Valiant]

Ripley gives me fits playing it to Smith. 

[PVFC764]

Wonder who would win between Smith and Ripley.  Might find out later in the game.

Come on Vale.

It’s like playing with 10 with Walter’s still on unfortunately

I wouldn’t go so far to say that he burst on to the scene. 
 

For me none of the kids have been consistent enough or arguably good enough to keep starting regularly. That’s purely because of their age and inexperience. It’s more a dig at our overall recruitment as to why that’s happened.
