Posh do or dogs dinner? Bolton v Peterborough Sat 23rd Sept - 3pm

[Mar]

Add to that an extra yellow for GT now.

As usual when he starts. Which he now won't next week, what with being suspended.

Another potential defensive cover out. Perhaps Khumbeni is worth a punt vs the United yoofs.

Maybe but I would (also) give Morley an hour, to get back up to speed.

Definitely. I'm surprised Morley hasn't been given game time last match and this match.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Hang on, whites!

Wonder how much the ref will add on

[sonicthewhite]

Seven minutes I think

[DJBlu]

Seven minutes I think

Four.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Four added. Moz on for Sheehan

[sonicthewhite]

Even better

[DJBlu]

feck off you cheating pricks.

[Mar]

The linesman had no clue as to who that had come off then.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

FT 1-1

[sonicthewhite]

Why the feck would you run on to the pitch at a time like this? Feckin knobhead!

[DJBlu]

That's a corner you blind feck.

Unity through adversity.
Jones owes them all a pint.

Absolutely resolute. And sign up that goal post.

[sonicthewhite]

In the end I'm so glad that we got that point. Could be the turning a corner we need.

[TANGODANCER]

Great point under the circumstances...

[Mar]

Credit to the players for grinding out a result here. Game no longer a contest after Jones got himself sent off. Good result given what has gone on in the match.

Nice fighting behaviour and good effort.

N'lundulu came on and looked to have an impact as did Dad Bod.


It's a draw that feels like a win.

[DJBlu]

Oh and Dan Ndlundlu, take a bow pal, him and Bod gave us a glimmer of forward movement which gave the defence a rest.

Thomasson MOTM for me. That lad is going to be a captain in the future.

[jmjhb]

Did well to not lose.

However, amongst other things it now appears we have a discipline problem.

[Prufrock]

Superb character from the 10 out there.

Game's gone if that's a red. Though why the dopey bastard went with his left, feck knows.

4 in 5 now the nice person. Can we get him struck off.

Rode our luck massively but we didn't roll over.

Great point in the circumstances.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Under the circumstances, a point we'd have taken at HT - but also an opportunity lost, and a self-inflicted two points dropped.

Four of the six teams above us won (and Exeter, who were 2nd, lost to Oxford, who were 4th). We're now 5pts off top spot - same distance as from 17th. And while leaders Pompey (who came from behind to win away) have played a game more, 2nd-placed Oxford haven't – so it's starting to look like Liam Manning's having one of his "up" seasons, even without Scott Twine.

A thin squad will struggle with injuries or suspensions; to misquote Wilde, to suffer both sounds like carelessness. Maybe it will work out for the best – Forrester stepped up today and Toal's back now - but it's a hell of a way to find out.

The only other top-six side not to win were Vale, who were held at Cambridge and watched their hosts squander a 90th-minute penalty. We're down in the Potteries next week and whatever XI we scramble together will have to stand up.

With the squad practically translucent it'll be fascinating to see who he picks in midweek for the Pizza Cup. Surely to God we can't risk key players.

[The_Gun]

Bar Jones, who realistically cost us a shot at three points today, I only have positive things to say about our boys who were out there.

Special mention to Will Forrester, who looks an absolutely superb signing and marshalled our defence with aplomb in the absence of Santos.

[BWFC_Insane]

Oh and Dan Ndlundlu, take a bow pal, him and Bod gave us a glimmer of forward movement which gave the defence a rest.

Thomasson MOTM for me. That lad is going to be a captain in the future.

Agree on all those. Nlundulu out wide and Bod up top looked a handful.

Thomason man of the match. Out for next week though.

Good battling effort.

Need to go to a back four now as we looked miles better with that in tricky circumstances.
