Let's talk about the Peterborough United game

[Metalmicky]

Alfreton's game on TV is subject to an inspection...... and they are due to start in 10 mins...

Now called off

[drfchound]

Crash on A1 southbound near Stamford quite a tailback

We are in that queue.

[Nudga]

Plenty of santa hats around, it'll make an excellent sight of red and white in the away end.

[Pancho Regan]

Bad hold up on the A1 but have arrived. Loads of red and white here!
Charters bar on the boat is brilliant.

[Prez]

I am really fearing the worst with our poor away form and their strong home form. Really hope though I’m wrong and we get a result. Come on rovers!!

[Donnyjim]

Once upon a time we could compete with the likes of Posh, reality is a real ball kicker.

[Colin C No.3]

2-1, hit the post & had a goal (which apparently was a goal) disallowed, think we competed well enough.

[jmt23]

Not really Donnyjim! We were just as good as them today and should have been at least level as the disallowed goal was not offside according to the commentator.
Yes Jones made some good saves but we also hit the post twice, and missed at least one sitter.

Whatever realms you are in, it ain’t reality
No surprise you’ve made a comeback after a defeat

I think you'll find we have competed with them. We may have lost but maybe the gap the league positions between the two teams isn't as big as what it suggests.

[Chris Black come back]

We struggled for parts of that game and were really hanging in there at times. For last 20 minutes it was all us though. Definitely some positives to take from today.

[Plumbster]

I thought we were outclassed at times, especially out wide and we missed a bit of finesse in midfield, but we were also very threatening. V cold but decent performance and v enjoyable game

[Chris Black come back]

This is our 13th away game this season in all competitions. Over half of them (7) we have lost by a single goal. Only at Newport (4-0) and AFC Wimbledon (2-0) have we lost by more than a single goal.

Yep, fine margins for sure in a lot of them.  But our away form is a huge problem and costing us big time.

Exactly. 4 wins from 13; 9 defeats.

We won't achieve anything with away form like that.

[Arsenal Of The North]

They looked dynamic when they attacked, we know we don’t have the best defensive unit about, but overall I thought we played the better, we rode our luck, jones pulled off some good saves, I’d say we looked better in attack but I think we controlled the majority of the play most of the game.

Walked away disappointed to lose but happy we give it a good go, no shame in that defeat

[Chris Black come back]

No excuse on the planet can do justice to their first. Rank bad from us.

[Donnyjim]

piss poor away form  = bottom half finish #fact

Third did I miss something

Looks like Mo's off from the free kick, not necessarily the flick on.

[normal rules]

Just got back from a very chilly London Road. I thought overall rovers gave a pretty decent account of themselves. Posh were clearly a very confident and assured side that were happy to play it around from the back with some style on occasion. They could have had 3, 4 or maybe 5 on an other day. Jones made a handful of well needed blocks and saves. If they don’t secure a playoff slot at least I’d be surprised.
Rovers were very unlucky not to go level early in the first half but the ball was struck straight at their keeper from a very good cross.
I thought their no10 may have been offside for their first, but I suspect he wasn’t interfering with play. I’d like to see the replay.
I’d like to see rovers disallowed goal again too, which I thought was very, very close. Hitting the post late on for what have been 2-2 was a bit of a kick in the balls. My overarching feeling at the end was that rovers only seemed to get some fire in their belly when they got it back to 2-1. Which is a bit of a shame, but that’s football I suppose.
Respect to the travelling faithful that made some noise even after going a goal down so early. And continued to do so throughout the game. Seems like there was more than 1000 there.

fact? Really? I could say fantastic home form = #possibletophalf,  #possiblefact

First! Autocorrect error.

[normal rules]

Wonder how Mo is? I thought he over egged the tackle on their keeper as an attempt to get a pen. But he was clearly struggling afterwards hence him being subbed when he eventually took to the floor and motioned to the bench. Let’s hope it’s nothing too serious.

[philsky]

Just back - gave everything and very little between the teams. The offside goal wasn’t.

I thought the same although quickly turned in to him maybe not wanting to get sent off for dangerous play. Then when he finally stood up he did look genuinely troubled. Those extra few minutes before he went down again could have caused some damage. Majestic header for his goal.

I lost track of what the defensive set up was. I think it was back three with Olowu left, Anderson centre and then Bailey right. Although I swear Bailey was playing central midfield in first half. Either way Olowu and Anderson got taken apart at times in first half. Cut right through.
