FT 2-1 !! Big win!! Well done!! Fingernail stuff !

[Nomoreheroes]

Thank God for that! I can stop typing now. (Heart's racing away here)

[Empathy Sloth]

Got a feeling they're going to destroy us in the JPT, as revenge for today.

[Nomoreheroes]

It sounded as if we decided at half time that we would sit back and defend. Commentators kept mentioning that we were defending too deep. First leg at Boro will be important. Hope we dont go up there to defend or it could be all over before the 2nd leg.

Ohh! They are going to replay the Power interview in a bit

Kasim and Ranger messing about in the corner...Now we have a corner!

Ranger is leading the other players astray. Missing training is bad but messing around during a game is a new low.

Sounds like Branco played well again-massive bonus.

Cooper doesn't sound delighted that Ranger is still involved

[Nomoreheroes]

Cooper:
- Not one of our best performances
- Very resolute
- Peterboro very good
- Pleased about grinding out result from a match we shouldnt have won
- Keeper and back four amazing
- Branco received lots of praise (as did Ward)
- Can always see a goal coming from our team
- Hall at left back. Thought Boro threat at set pieces. Wanted more defenders.
- Touchline antics. Boro keeper coach. Handbags.
- Ranger. Contribution: Scored and stops ball coming back. Tougher opponent when he plays
- Power comments: Nile went to Cooper and wanted to apologise to players. It was put to players do they want to give him a chance. They let him know they want him on the pitch but they feel very let down off of the pitch
- Words are cheap. Cooper has heard it all from Ranger before. He's been on time 2 days on the trot, if he is for 3 it'll be a miracle!

It was ok .... no tongues.

I would have given him mom.  He made 2 or 3 goal saving challenges that if timed wrongly could have been penalties.

Good all round performance, battled well against a pretty good Peterborough team.  The sending off and touchline melee did us a favour though. Stopped the play when we were under a lot of pressure.

[Nomoreheroes]

Kasim singing Ranger's praises, saying he bounces off him well and his hold up play allows Kasim to run forward and get more shots.

Second home game in a row where the best team lost!!  We just defended too deep and allowed them to win everything in midfield putting pressure on us.  Why not keep a man up in the centre circle when we are defending corners, ball just kept coming back.  Positives, we won, Branco played well, negatives, thought Pritchard was poor, kept losing possession.

[Batch]

Branco was great. Totally different from the Branco I saw play in the (was it) JPT.

Pritchard had a very good first half. Didn't get into it in the second.

We were totally on the back foot in the second half. Thankfully fatty got sent off and then Fergie Jr and co further helped disrupt there rhythm by charging our bench. Good counter goal by Kasim, who is coming back on form.

[Paolo69]

The best team won the game, which is after all about sticking the ball in the back of the net. They looked alright at times but how many saves did Wes really have to make? Pritch loses the ball trying to do too much at times I agree. The wee man also does a lot of good things that go unappreciated. Thought his tackling back today was superb for a player of his size/ilk.

Second game in a row where the best team lost!!  

Didn't we draw our last game?
