    Be good if this bloke could step up and replace Adam Armstrong wouldn't it.

    Lower league football is quite odd. Players that stand out tend to go up a level or two and struggle, although there are obvious exceptions. I remember watching Matt Tubbs on TV a few years back in an FA Cup game - for Grays, I think - and he was head and shoulders above any player on the pitch...

    Baker or JOB

    Comparing apples with oranges a little here. They're different players with different skills. But objectively, Baker won POtS at MK Dons and went up to the Championship. JOB is playing well (and is probably my favourite player of the last season and a third) but has less X-factor. He's...

    Bigi thought / conspiracy

    When Lameiras signed, Mowbray said he would pick and choose the lad's games. Which he has done. I'd ask, can you really see our Tone being blackmailed by McLaren to play someone he doesn't want? Really? He doesn't seem that sort of chap to me.

    Eddie Johnson. Absolute gashbucket of a player.

    Best Loanee

    Jose Perdomo. South American flair. Marsden was class, and should have been signed. Came from Huddersfield reserves IIRC. Think Cedric Roussel was originally a loan, too. He was great at first then faded badly. Modern-day, I think we have to go with McGoldrick. Maybe this season's bunch will...

    At least now the Wisher and Faggot jokes will stop.

    Mind you, we've still got the 3rd best defensive record in the division, so we can't be that bad at the back.

    Peterborough (Home) Match Thread

    This thread is so manic depressive. By page 14 it looked like the Ricoh was going to end up like Waco.

    windows 7 v windows 10

    I had 7 and loved it. Upgraded to 10 and love it too, although the start menu and taskbar items stubbornly refuse to work 30% of the time. I'd rate it more Yousef Safri than David Rennie, but slightly less Phil Babb than Phil Babb.

    Reeda injury

    Happened right in front of me, and as far as I could tell it was a hamstring. He basically did the splits unintentionally and did himself in. He was in a lot of pain, that much was for sure.

    Player Ratings

    Haha! There was one Blackpool break that had Stokes running back and he looked like a little old man chasing after the bus. Comedy gold. That said, he was giving everything. Top marks to him for that.

    Player Ratings

    RCC - 6 - Had little to do. Decent distribution. Ricketts - 7 - Solid. Martin - 7 - Solid too. Reda - 7 - Impressive as always. One or two moments he was outpaced though. Stokes - 7 - Unspectacular, but always gave himself as an option and defended well. Vincelot - 5 - Looked off the pace...

    Don't worry, think about poor Burton

    Perhaps Pressley'll be a good fit with Fleetwood. I imagine he'll turn out like Holloway, striking gold at some clubs, digging out turds at others.

    Not enough zip and drive

    Murphy and Kent were told to hug the touchlines. Probably to draw the 10 behind the ball away and leave gaps in the middle. Trouble is, Arma and co were left too isolated as a result. Mowbray had a gameplan, and today it didn't work. But at least he had a plan, which is more than most of our...
