    Match Thread Peterborough away

    I hope we go back to Waghorn and Gyokeres for this game. If we've square pegs in defence I'd rather we were trying to win the ball and pressure them high up the pitch.

    Loan Watch

    I think it's a massive factor and I wonder if it gets increasingly overlooked in today's stats based approach to games and signings. Speaking of confidence, in one of our games in August, my team's striker walked up to to the 2 opposition CBs at kick off - one big 'un and a smaller one, and...

    Hope it works out for him too. In the interviews I've seen since he's been here he seems like a really nice, quiet lad - always felt that reflected on the pitch where he seemed a bit meek for a CB. Compare that to someone like Ostigard who wanted to dominate on the pitch and is vocal and driven...

    Every time I've logged in today I've expected to see that someone has started a similar thread on SBT posters you have an irrational hate/like for!

    I'll ask him if he's still got them but I'm not sure he'll be interested in that trade.

    Teams you have an irrational hate for

    Bournemouth for the way they are always lauded for being the small club that made it to the Premier League despite massively overspending and cheating the FFP rules. Cov United for the way they were promoted as an alternative to us during the boycotts. Mansfield because of Steve Evans and their...

    Ebosele

    He wasn't a regular starter in Rochdale's team that were relegated from League One last year. His progress would have to be meteoric if he's suddenly Championship ready in the 11 months we've had him.

    4th Round draw

    Mark of how far we've progressed in the last few years that away at a Premier league club doesn't excite. Personally think it's a good draw against a side we actually have some chance against and will be a great test for players like Hamer, O'Hare and Gyo.

    Hamer i think is most likely, especially with Eccles being back, but suspicious of the timing of O'Hares contract too. Don't think anyone would pay enough for Gyo now, after his barren spell, to make a decent enough return, if the 1 million paid rumour is close to the truth.

    Yeah, take advantage of the early points on the board, balance the Covid hit finances, while simultaneously derailing all the momentum we've built in the last 5 seasons on the pitch and in the stands.

    After listening to Aaron's Ramsdale's comments about Moore's mentoring, I wonder if he's have a positive effect on Wilson too. 2 excellent saves in there today and looked pretty assured.

    I've a horrible feeling that I can't shake, that this transfer window is going to be like the old days. Sell a key player late in the window with no time to adequately replace.

    Fuck me, thought the ref had given a pen then, not corner.

    Sheaf MoM. Allen, Wilson and JCS all very good.

    Surely Gyo holding the ball up for the last 10 minutes has got to be a better option if we're just going to see the game out.

    I'm still convinced we've sawn off one of Dacosta's legs to give to Dabo after his injuries. It's the only logical explanation for Dabo's downturn in form and Dacosta's complete disappearance.

    I really like Eccles. He just looks comfortable on a football pitch and has the right mixture of tenacity and forward vision.

    Would probably gamble on Jones there now he has a yellow and try and get him pushed back in his own half.

    Gonna be a baptism of fire for Reid if he has to come in cold and be up against Ebosele.
