Think we need another CM if we're going to be playing 3 in the middle. Kelly, Allen, Westbrooke and Shipley probably not enough although Eccles looked good on Saturday.

It's a model that makes them a lot of money, but when was the last time they made the play-offs despite being consistently tipped for it every summer?

Seems a bit unfair from a competition stand point that Wycombe were essentially handed a free three points on Saturday by playing a game against Bolton’s U23s while we might have to play our game later in the season when they are better prepared.

Agree. Not sure how much else he could have done there with the angle all those factors considered. Could have perhaps leathered it into the top corner but always a chance that'll go flying over the bar if you're a bit off balance. Good defending from the Southend player.

Rumours that Peterborough need to sell to be able to bring more in as they are skirting right on the line of FFP

I reckon we'll be back at the Ricoh before the end of the season

Gooden would be a great signing if we could get him.

Alan Nixon is saying there is a Coventry story in tomorrows Sun. Usually has good contacts.

Marosi - 6 - Didn't have too much to do except for one fine save late on. Seemed decent enough at claiming the ball. Scared me a bit with how long he was holding onto the ball. Dabo - 5 - Looked a bit off it and was targeted by Southend in the second half. Did make a few solid tackles though...

Better performance than I was expecting under the caveat that Southend were truly dreadful for 80 minutes of the game. However, we were comfortable the better side over the 90 and could have been 2 or 3 up by the time they got into it. The end of halves was a bit of a concern, along with the...

Purely off this first half, no

Weak team that

He’s played 75 games in 6 years and has never played more than 21 games in a season in his career.

I doubt we’ll see much of Kastaneer, the bloke has a consistently poor injury record across his whole career and has already picked up one here. Screams of 10 league appearances and loaned back to Europe in the summer.

Hopefully the permanent is a striker. Don’t want to bring in a goal threat only to lose them in Jan/June.

5-3-2 doesn’t always equal defensive football. Sheffield United used it last season and played some great stuff. Playing it with that team having not prepared it at all in pre-season however would be a shocking decision.

if that's going to be the midfield I'll change my prediction of 0-0 to 0-1

It’s hard to disagree with this at the moment. The way Robins’ talking about the upcoming season seems to have completely shifted recently. Some of the quotes from today almost sound like he’s expecting us to struggle.

Is the two loans and one permanent a direct quote from Robins?

Midfield three of Shipley, Westbrooke and a half fit Kelly doesn't inspire confidence.
