Think I would have preferred Blair in there but it should be a strong line up. Much will depend on how Rowe and Copps get involved but I hope we come out of the traps and take them by surprise!

Saw Joe walking into a barbers in town yesterday. Seemed fine. But then again walking into a barbers has never been a true fitness test.

We’re much the better team at the moment. Have all the possession and territorial advantage so far.

Two great chances slipped by so far

Post by: PDX_Rover on September 01, 2018, 03:55:50 pm
Not sure why Anderson's header ruled out. Must have been a bloody early push because nobody near him when the ball arrived. Fatty Evans is animated and wobbling around shouting. Their Assistant Manager booked for abusive language apparently.

Dembele is a great player. But Rovers totally bossed that half. Do not change anything and keep doing what you are doing. Lovely goal from Marquis. Their keeper looks suspect on low shots. He spilled two already.

Great half. A really good game to watch.

Title: Re: Peterborough vs Rovers
Post by: PDX_Rover on September 01, 2018, 04:19:08 pm
Peterborough have taken to just falling over now, knowing that the ref will give it. We're still the better team.
Title: Re: Peterborough vs Rovers
Post by: Bollinger on September 01, 2018, 04:19:41 pm
Disappointing. We've run them ragged and could well have been out of sight by now. They can't live with Wilks.

You can see Evans pawprints all over this Posh side.

Keep pressing, we can still win this game.

Great header superbly saved by their keeper and we’re pushing them back now

Post by: pib on September 01, 2018, 04:29:48 pm
I know following the game via Twitter isn’t the most accurate but it looks like we’re having loads of chances

We really need to be more clinical. We’ll regret being so wasteful against such a dangerous side.
Title: Re: Peterborough vs Rovers

I tell you what. This is a great performance. We can win this one. Better team. Much so.

Some desperate defending by Posh. Some chances missed by Rovers. But we look good.

Tom Anderson is a good player. Big lad. But good feet. Rarely wasted possession.

Fatty Evans booked.
Title: Re: Peterborough vs Rovers

Stats now pos 59/41 Donny
corners 14/4 Donny
shots on 9/2 Donny and
Shots off 9/4 Donny
This surely has to be a win!

Are we? Or are their defenders blocking well and the keeper making saves?

Sometimes that happens..
Title: Re: Peterborough vs Rovers

It will be a right kick in the nuts if we lose this game now.
Title: Re: Peterborough vs Rovers
Post by: drfchound on September 01, 2018, 04:41:33 pm
Whiteman booked.
Sounds as though he took one for the team as well to prevent a dangerous breakaway.

Fatty red carded.

One of the best games I've seen in a while. We've been unlucky not 3 or 4 up. Our overall play is so much better than last season.

Fat f**ker Evans sent off. And his assistant now.

That's a measure of how Rovers are doing.
Title: Re: Peterborough vs Rovers

His behaviour reminds me of our first visit to Boston. At least the ref wasn't buying it this time.

Would we want him, he is a controversial figure. Not sure he would be good for Rovers as a manager, has a shady past.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on September 01, 2018, 04:58:57 pm
Portsmouth 100% record. We outplayed them. Peterborough 100% record, we outplayed them.

As said before this run of games will not define our season, but we've shown we're as good as anyone.
Title: Re: Peterborough vs Rovers
Post by: PDX_Rover on September 01, 2018, 05:03:38 pm
All over. Well, that was a real treat to watch. We should have won comfortably. Better team for the vast majority of that game. Look at the stats. 23 shots to their 10.

Our overall play was assured and movement was really good. Can't fault anybody. Coppinger played a full game and really was class. Kane is a hell of a player. Wilks is maturing - unlucky not to score but they couldn't handle him. He's a strong lad and good on the ball. Front to back a good performance. Alfie May did well when he came on.

The fact that both members of Peterborough's management team were sent off speaks volumes. The fourth official was the best official by a mile. The referee, Darren Bond, was hopeless. Didn't have a clue what was going on. McCann had some strong words for him at the end. He bought EVERYTHING from Posh. They were falling over like bambi on ice second half around the box and he was suckered every time.

McCann is building something good here. It's like the best bits of SOD's era at times mixed with the grit of Penney's tenure.

We have drawn against two of the teams who have started the season very well, both of which are tipped by many for promotion..

What’s wrong with an away draw at the top of the league side, at any time of the season??
