Thought the ref was poor today giving very soft fouls for both sides preventing any flowing play. Bakinson dreadful I'm afraid, how was he not subbed off. Could have been the difference.

Also why did the ref choose the home end for pens? We were allocated less than half our end making it more 'neutral' behind the goal. And I sincerely hope we lost the toss for who went first...

Isn't there also a coin toss for choice of ends?

GA sending Peterborough down on PPG over a whole season would be hilarious.

“Attack wins you games, defense wins you titles”  Alex Ferguson

Yep certainly Bolton, Mansfield, Huddersfield, and Northampton were all home games where we lacked a bit of creativity and guile.

i also heard somewhere (I think not the top 20 podcast) that even when we were free scoring earlier on the season that our actual goals scored was outperforming our expected goals

the dream scenario at the bottom of L1 is that Ainsworth keeps Shrewsbury up at Peterborough’s expense. Bristol Rovers would be quite funny too.

I 100% agree. I am hoping for evolution rather than revolution. We have come unstuck alittle in recent times and that needs work. Just hope the baby isn't thrown out with the bath water.

FT U18s 2-1 Andover New Street.

That moves the Chairgirls up to third, level with Oxford United on 15 points. Both are 15 points behind leaders Ascot United, who have won all ten games.

He said about being more clinical in front of goal. Since our incredible scoring run we have had a couple of games where we seem shot shy. More willing to make a pass than take a shot. When we played Barnsley we battered them with shot after shot and it paid off. We can overwhelm teams in attack with the talent we have, just maybe need to have a bit more self belief sometimes?

FWIW I don't think our "in possession" work has been nearly as good in the past 6 weeks or so. We were a free scoring side up until around Christmas, but though we've continued to get results (the sign of a great team), most of our recent goals have been the product of penalties or late winners. With that in mind, I don't think it's too controversial for Dodds to think our "in possession" play needs work.
