    I thought it was a pen last night when RL went down. Just watched highlights back. Looked a blatant foul on him. Defender looked at him then pulled him back. Not sure how easily RL went down but still impeded and right in front of the ref.

    Mowbray needs to go

    13 in 14 years. The obvious solution is to get another one. Always works.

    Say what you like Westley out done Mowbray

    The guy on here said that TM is tactically naive.Is this chap talking from a position of real professional knowledge or has he just used a phrase that is a cliche and is easy to bandy about, but has no real meaning? It's a shame for Posh fans that Westley's tactical nous didn't save them in...

    Say what you like Westley out done Mowbray

    Statements like this really make me laugh. Hear it all the time on 6 0 6 and the like. You are passing a judgement on someone who has worked in this industry for the past 35 years plus. You know more than he does? I'm pretty sure that Mowbray (Pressley or most other managers too) would have more...

    Again, all about opinions. We had a good 15 minute spell in second half against Walsall. Missed 2 good chances to seal the win before Walsall came back. Disagree with Posh game. Felt we were the better team in both halves. Even in the second half More shots on goal, more chances, more saves(...

    Not for me. Lots of performances have been good without getting the results we deserve red. Chesterfield, Walsall, Shrewsbury and Posh immediately come to mind. Crewe and Bury obviously.

    Did you see the games last season as compared to this? Standard of football far, far better. This is the first season for a long time where going to games has been a pleasure not a chore. Never mind looking at how things have really been. Let's just re-write history. Pressley was obviously a...

    Give TM a chance

    Just looked at his CCFC record. He has played 36 (league) games, won 18, drawn 10, lost 8. Over 36 games that gives us 64 points. Gillingham in 4th place at the moment have 63 points but have played a game more. Of the 12 games he played this season we lost only 3. He played 24 games last...

    Give TM a chance

    Nothing to do with how well we played? We will have to agree to disagree. If we play with the same speed and skill on Tuesday I can't see anything but a win for us. Can they do this again? Who knows? As I said previously Posh were the best team I have seen this season for their first half...

    Give TM a chance

    for or me the saves weren't the issue. It was the quality of our play that was so impressive. We cut them open time and again with fast, attacking football. We were far the better team. Maybe this was more apparent being there than watching on TV. No doubt the "Posh were rubbish brigade" will...

    Give TM a chance

    The injury he got was not the same as in the previous season. It is an injury which would have put any player out for a long time. Previously strains and such like keeping him out. Noticeable that from when he first got into the team underTM last season until the serious injury against Blackpool...

    Give TM a chance

    Several of the games in our poor run we have played well. That would include recent games against Shrewsbury and Peterborough. It seems that when we do play well it is because the opposition are desperate. Another reason for keeping faith with TM is that you can see what he is trying to achieve...

    Give TM a chance

    At that stage Coleman had been in charge a matter of months (2 or 3) having inherited someone else's team. Without the benefit of hindsight you would have sacked him then? Is there a minimum time you would give a manager? 5 games, 10 games and then out? You can say that subsequently you were...

    Give TM a chance

    Not sure that this is true. Can't remember how many games Barnsley lost in a row earlier in the season, stuck with their manager and turned it around so much so he was poached by Bristol. Loads of other examples. Problem these days is that managers are given no time at all to build, hence we...

    Give TM a chance

    Maybe time to break that mould then and stick with someone long term. Twelve managers in 14 years has seen two relegations and precious few highlights but lots of dross and near disasters. There are exceptions to your rule, Ferguson and Wenger of course, Dario Gradi at Crewe, Pullis at Stoke...

    Give TM a chance

    you sound like a parent scolding a 4 year old. This season has seen progress made. It took Jimmy Hill 2 and a half years to get us out of division 3 in the sixties. That from a position much stronger than the one TM finds himself in. No doubt JH would be taking stick from people on here for not...

    At the recent Trust forum, he came across as supportive of TM. He said that he hopes TM will be here for a long time and would eventually feel secure enough to move his family from the north east. He also said that sacking managers doesn't work financially or statistically. I thought the piece...
