Cracking result, I really expected Peterborough to at least score. To shut out Sunderland & Peterborough is impressive!
Those who complain the football is boring need to get a grip. It's not the most exciting side in history granted and I'd like to see more goals, but **** me we're well drilled and effective.

Someone doesn’t like losing! Peterborough have always had that air of superiority about them. Always had players who dive around like Toney and Maddison and always think they’re bigger then they are, they’re not a big club at all, their recent stint in the championship shows they’re a L1 club and can’t handle losing to sides like us. Toney was booed because he’s everything that’s wrong with modern day players not because of anything else. Why would they think they’re a big club? I have the programme from when we played non league Peterborough in the F.A. Cup in 1959. Not so big then. Just don’t ask about the result!

Toney was booed because he’s everything that’s wrong with modern day players not because of anything else. Was talking about this last night. For a team that have been in similar circles to us over the years they do seem to be portrayed as a big club. Well invested yes, and maybe it’s the association with ‘names’ like Ferguson and Barry Fry over the years. I’m not too surprised about the comments from the local media. We should be used to it by now, two seasons ago many a provincial newspaper reporter couldn’t handle the fact their team had travelled out to the sticks of Shropshire and somehow hadn’t pummelled their way to an easy three points 😉

Whoever our new social media guy is, I’m loving his housery to Adrian Durham on Twitter.
Also, the content etc has really stepped up over the social media platforms.

A few comments from the Posh forum about the game last night.
"Dreadful game. Keystone cops defending for their goal scored by the bloke who should have been sent off for an awful tackle on Toney (and for blatantly pushing Reed in the chest in front of the so called ref). The ref is an utter t**t, we seem to have the monopoly on crap refs."
"Shrews are absolute garbage and we're marginally less bad. The ref is having a ****ing shocker."
"Shrewsbury are a horrible side, but we should be able to deal with teams like that. "
"Shrewsbury were the worst team we've played this season so far and we couldn't get a foothold."

Last night was the superb and Ricketts tactics against this type of side are spot on. Three one nil wins against the more "attacking" sides is testiment to that...However. When the likes of Gillingham etc come to Town we come bogged down, as the mind set and the "over my dead body" attitude seems to be entrenched in the squad now. You get the feeling that Ricketts would almost prefer the under dog tag every game so the tactics would suit his style rather than having to force the play. I really hope he goes 442 against Bradford just to see what were capable of as this year's league one is the year when you really could sneak into 6th place with three wins at the end and it would be a shame if we missed out purely from not being adventurous enough. It's horses for courses and with only three down and two of them looking serious contenders, this could well be the year to give it a go.

Absolutely expected. They ARE a big club after all (at least in their own little minds). Been quite a while since 3 points tasted so sweet for us.

So they’ve beaten plenty of teams already this season and scored plenty in doing so, but the worst team they’ve played is one they lose to without managing a real effort on goal in open play? If ever logic was entirely sour grapes, it’s this.

We are awful to watch, we pretty much have been all season. We can't deny that.
But, when we are winning, or picking up points away, no cares.
I just hope for SR's sake we don't have a bad run, of say 3/4 games without a point.
Remember Gary Peters?

Bizarre reporting from Peterboro media.
Reminds me of that plonker at Blackburn, couple of seasons back - moaning because we had held mighty Blackburn to a draw.
Tony Mowbray - you know who you are
Peterborough - your just a small suburb in Norwich - get over it

Don't shout it too loudly but our clueless manager might actually not be so clueless after all.
We have every right to be looking at play-offs. We go toe-toe with the very best this league has.

Gillingham was awful to watch Sunderland and last night were fine for me We have to remember this is league 1 and a lot of games are proper lower league slogs

Gillingham was awful to watch Sunderland and last night were fine for me We have to remember this is league 1 and a lot of games are proper lower league slogs This. I’ve been really angry & hated Ricketts-ball on many, many occasions. But last night, Wycombe away & Sunderland at home have seen Salop with definite intent, and a purpose on the ball that simply wasn’t there in absolutely mind bogglingly boring games against Gillingham, Lincoln, Burton, Wimbledon & to be honest even when we beat Pompey it was an absolute waste of time until Giles popped up. MK Dons and Fleetwood are shouts for falling into that category also. In the last 3 games, the little change of system has brought a more consistent level of ‘attacking’ performance, like the one at Accrington (even before the goals came, tbf) and that’s enough for me when we are so good defensively. It’s all I’ve wanted.. just ‘something’ to shout about. For instance our shots on target last night looks embarrassing again but tells little of the story particularly in the opening 15 minutes when we pushed them back in their box and under pressure over & over again. Keep it up Salop.

I just hope for SR's sake we don't have a bad run, of say 3/4 games without a point. Remember Gary Peters? I think the new formation of Edwards and Whalley alongside Cummings up front has put more energy in the side, and while we can’t be seen as a massively attacking side there do seem more options going forward than we had a few weeks ago. I was slightly surprised how much time Peterborough’s forwards allowed our defenders on the ball on Tuesday, and in future games we probably need some out balls for the defenders if they are put under pressure and have to get rid of the ball more quickly How we change the tactics in games we go behind in is something else to work on but definitely seems more of a plan and structure to the team than I was seeing in August and September

Or, if it was the opposition, time wasting.... The energy comes from Whalley. I will be honest. I am still yet to see the benefit of Edwards in the side. Imagine Thompson and his energy in that position. Still, it's working, just hope it continues for SR's sake.

I was very impressed with Edwards on Tuesday, he would have been my man of the match behind love. Mostly down to his determination, he was everywhere, chasing down everything and giving his all. He still looks a bit rusty but he has only played a couple of games so is still getting match fit. He is has a great football brain and gets into decent positions. I actually think we would be better to swap laurent and Edwards.
