Why is Benson not playing?

Doesnt fit the new style of play according to Jeds interview the other day

Which is obviously complete nonsense as we're crying out for a decent striker, and and the very lest, Benson is decent.

[fatbasher]

I think you'll find that some of the players contracts are a) mind blowingly expensive for league one b) heavily bonused in the terms of appearences and wins c) have apperence bonuses (number of) in addition to match by match payments

So you only have to play their basic wage until you shift them.

Why is Benson not playing?

so he gets the message he is surplus and should leave asap is my guess.

[welshred]

FT. So not a disgrace against a decent team. Fingers crossed we can get in one or two others players, one being a striker. Should be a season full of not too much sadness.

[@mwooly63]

Oh well first game and first defeat
Didnt sound if town were overun or outclassed

Sounded like we lacked a decent target man - will reserve judgement till after tuesday and saturday when can see for myself

Certainly not the thumping ppl expected

Thought Town were good value for a point there. Learnt to negate Posh - who are a physical bunch and went for route one often

Ironic given the stick Cooper got for being a hoof-ball merchant off those Peterborough fans.

[Peter Venkman]

I think its time to get in Billy Kee who I personally think would be perfect as a lone striker.

[Summerof69]

Looking at the stats on the BBC site, we had 59% possession, had 11 shots to 10, with shots on target we had 6 to 2.

[Wandered]

Sounds fair stats. Encouraging overall. Luongo and Mason were good value in 2nd half. Worth a point.

I thought he was player at Burton who called another player a racist name. a couple of seasons back and Manky got involved when he was playing for burton

[Posh Red]

Just home.

We played some neat nice football but didn't have any cutting edge.

Williams didn't have a great game (in fact he was poor) however the role of lone striker really doesn't suit him.

A £1.5m striker was the only difference between the sides ( and a poor ref).

Either Posh are not as good as people think or we are going to be fine if we get a centre forward that can play up top on his own

[Nijholts Nuts]

Although we lost I'm happy we didn't get played off the park, nor were they able to kick lumps out of the kids. Think we can take more positives than negatives from this. The mind boggles on how much of an effect Ferry and Collins would've had ...

[REDBUCK]

Don't let your mind boggle too much as it'll just give you a headache.

They've gone so give the what ifs a rest as it gets a bit dull

[Benzel]

Well, all sounded reasonably positive. Just gonna end up repeating what's been said really. Need a lone striker yadda yadda. Looking forward to Torquay on Tuesday.
