Low and Sonny were phenomenal, as always.

Not sure why Harvie was taken off? Injury? Thought he looked dangerous and had a good effort on goal.

Was impressed with Lowry. Neat footwork, wants to take on players. Looks ‘nailed on’ to become a like for like Cam replacement. But he had lack of the ball as we didn’t use the central channel much.

GMac was GMac. I guess the conundrum with him these days is ‘is he a starter or a finisher’.

Fred had arguably our best chance with the header. A decent if not show stopping performance.

For me, Bakinson was a weak link. At times really lazy, just sticking a leg out. But I’m clearly not seeing what others are.

Bez was too exposed. He doesn’t have Kone’s strength nor skill with back to goal to take the ball and wait for the cavalry. He had a good game, but for me, he can’t play lone striker. And you always are waiting for the whistle for Bez to give away a foul.

I think Dec is improving game by game, it’s a joy to see a homegrown player transform so much. He’s still got to make better decisions when on the ball, at times took one too many touches and left us in dangerous positions.

Leahy was quite quiet for me, again, the central channel we hardly used (which may be why I was frustrated by Bakinson).

Norris looks confident and in command of his box. Some great saves. Some very poor passes. Franco will be wandering what he did wrong if Norris starts against Crawley.

Penalties are penalties. Let’s go again against Crawley.

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?
