    Yep. We've scored just 4 goals in 7 games, so 4 goals in one game sounds just about spot on!

    Yep. March to the arch is still on, even if we go 15 points behind 6th place, as long as there are 16 points to play for. Easy least. We just need to keep winning while everyone else keeps on losing. Piece of cake and eminently doable! ;)

    Give TM a chance

    We should. And as I said at the time, there seemed like there was only one way this was going and that was defeat. You have to take your chances or you will pay for it and with our canny knack of letting silly goals in you just knew Peterborough would score.

    long way to go

    Yes, definitely clutching at straws. ;)

    Anyone got any suggestions on anywhere to go today?

    Yep. No lions, or tigers or bears. Oh my. They have leopards and snow leopards. There's no rhinos or hippos either. Bit odd for a zoo.

    Maddison is injured though isn't he? Broken eyelash and skin reaction to L'Oreal bronzing foundation.

    Get rid before next season starts

    Willis still worries me at right back. His distribution is awful, as is his control. I see him as a physical, no nonsense, whack it into the stands, centre back and nothing else.

    They seem to have expanded somewhat since last time we went. Didn't recognise a lot of it and a number of things changed. After last time we went we said we were never going back again, but yesterday it was much more enjoyable. Still need some more monkeys though.

    Plan b and dealing with opposition changes

    It's fine if you are scoring more than the opposition, but not only are we letting in silly goals, the goals have dried up at the other end too. Don't worry though, on the back of letting in silly goals, not scoring up the other end, losing 4 out of the last 6 home games, losing 8 out of the...

    Get rid before next season starts

    Yep, a loan might do him a world of good. The lad is always prone to errors and if he can't rectify that he is not much use to us. His errors nearly always seem to be costly ones too, akin to Ricketts.

    Aren't I right in saying that Jack Stephens was only missing for Friday's game and should be back? Is that correct?

    We may well lose. We have just one home win in the last six matches and have have lost four of them. Colchester will be desperate too, trying to emulate their great escape from last year. I don't think we will lose though. I reckon it will be a draw. Bradford play at Crewe today and if they...

    Glad you had a good day! :) We did too and the only complaint I have about Twycross zoo is how many monkeys they have. There's a distinct lack of them. I expected to see monkeys everywhere and at every turn, but it just didn't happen. They really need to sort out their monkey deficiency, so...

    Get rid before next season starts

    He was poor last season and I wanted rid. This season he has indeed been transformed. Don't think we should be writing RCC off just yet. He's young and he's learning and this season should prove to be invaluable experience for him. I was all for giving the likes of Aaron Phillips time too, but...

    Give TM a chance

    Yep, exactly. So many teams have done just that against us, pressed us, harried us, closed us down, nullified us. For some bizarre reason Peterborough didn't do that in that first half and stood off us and allowed us to play our way through them. Hence the much improved first half display...

    The night manager

    Excellent stuff! Really grips you and involves you, so you care what happens to the characters. Was really rooting for Pine and Angela. Apparently it cost £3m an episode to make. Sumptuous, engaging, brilliantly acted and surely going on to win a stack of awards, especially Hugh Laurie and Tom...

    But my mum had never ever talked about it before. It had been locked away for years and never ever talked about. Completely forgotten. Why would my mum suddenly come out with 'oh, by the way, I have my grandad's pocket watch locked away, oh and I better tell you, it cost him 2 shillings and 6...

    Give TM a chance

    Of course it had something to do with how we played. No doubt about that. If you watch the game again though, just look at how poor Peterborough are and how poor their marking was and how they allowed us space. Any team allows us space and we can be dangerous. What we have had in reality though...
