Very odd really. Looked decent last season and scored a stunner in pre season. Just didn't get a run of games together. Him and Jones were the only two that walked away from the Gillingham game with any credit.

Jones didn't play vs Gillingham

And most Peterborough fans would have told you he was crap for them last season.

Good point! Sorry i meant Allsop. Anyway he ran his bollox off. Has he had a fair crack of the whip? How many games has he actually started?

Another player signed, never given a real chance, and then discarded.

I don't think he has been given a fair chance, but then I didn't think he was a very good signing anyway at the time.

So how many poor signings does that make it Pressley? Someone needs to dig out a few of the press clippings where he is earmarked as a bloody world beater. Never known such a high player turnover! Isn't he also one of the 9 players contracted next season? That'll be him in the bomb squad in Pre-season then, making it 8!

Another player signed and given the opportunity to get his career going again. Came wearing a label with, worth a punt written on it.

The end of the transfer market we are in there is a lot of risk; the unheard of'so, those who once showed promise and those passed the best before date. So failure rate and turnover will be high. At least Pressley moves them on quickly if they aren't delivering.

Unfortunately it marks the level we have fallen too.

But he doesn't play in the same position. It's like saying I prefer Miller to webster

Only just found this out!

One less player who can play CM for Pressley to have to overlook in favour of the dire four!

Always looked OK to me, at least he was an attacking player.

File under "never got a fair crack of the whip".

Looks like the Turgid Trio of Fleck, Finch and Thomas are guaranteed an invite to the promotion party then.

Does not mean if he plays well in Scotland he is good. Anyone can play well up there is rubbish football likened to ours lol. Just look what Kevin Kyle did.

Shame really, tried to attack when provided with the ball and a chance, fitness issues I suspect have meant he has not quite lived up to the expectation, a shame really, but with the two new lads coming in with raw pace, maybe felt he would be even more limited.

I thought playes were to be "banished" in this transfer window? Thats what was said after the Worcester game!

Says one thing does another.

so only webster remains from the six permanent signings made for last season. don't think any of those released have done much since.
not a very good success rate.

Had his injury concerns but i always thought he was one bit of creative spark we actually had yet everyone seemed to slate him for taking people on and losing it occasionally. Wasn't given enough of a chance in my book but would like to see him play behind a striker which clearly Pressley was never going to do
