To be fair, Posh will be close to the playoffs come next May.

Who are we looking forward to playing in League Two? Well, there's some new places I'd love to get to, Harrogate and Barrow spring to mind. We've absolutely fallen apart, Posh should have had six at least. |

Cripes this is disappointing. A long season ahead I feel.

Only way is up! Is my top half finish this season bet in danger? Losing the Feeney "brothers" has buggered us, have we got the money for replacement signings if Morgan Feeney's injury is bad?

On 85 minutes that wasn’t a bad display by Town but the 3rd and 4th goals really highlighted how poor our defence is. That’s really our weak area and to be frank I think at least half the defence isn’t league one standard and that’s going to harm us all season unless we get some new faces in.
On a more positive note O’Reilly looks good again and much better performance by Winchester and Biggins than against Stevenage, but aside from a few set pieces second half we created very little.
The combination of the poor defence and lack of quality up front really stood out today. Hopefully room to improve the squad still but a worrying start to the league season

I’m sorry but I’m not going to be too negative about this performance. Yes, we have been stuffed by a very good team, but I doubt our back four will face a front line with that much pace for while. The pace of there front three was frightening.

Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say they were better than us. Ref didn't help.

Watched most of the second half on a illegal feed thanks aghabullogueshrew for the idea, It was slow but not as slow as the back four.
Savin actually looked okay, but he was constantly sold short by his back four.
Winchester was combative but a distinct lack of any joined up play, passes looked slow and late.

Doesn't flatter them at all that score, Posh. The usual huff and puff from Town but we were second best by a country mile, embarrassingly so. If there is no improvement from that to come then we are in big trouble.

Nsiala is absolutely horrifically awfully atrociously terribly bad. Yes, thanks Roland. To be frank Hoole looks poor too and with Pierre there too the defence is very slow, cumbersome and really poor at passing out of defence. Peterborough probably the best attacking side we will face in league one, but even an average attacking side will likely get 8-10 decent chances against us. You can’t compete in games with a defence that poor |

That might be one of the most depressing, pathetic and embarrassing home performances I’ve seen at the meadow.
I’m pretty confident I could outrun Toto and Pierre but what do you expect really from us this year?
Emptying stands at the end are Roland’s legacy. The man whose ego couldn’t take sharing power or getting investment that might challenge his position at the club.

Roland out! Simple as. Not Hursts fault this. Need an organised protest sooner than later. Not even sure this needs to be said, there can't be many who in all honesty disagree with this. Thanks Roland, genuinely, for all the good work, but taking your eye of the ball and letting all your good work go down the drain is going to absolutely ruin everything. For what it's worth, I've been resigned to relegation for about four months now, I've actually had enough of being bored by League one anyway. The worry, of course, is that even at league two level next season we still won't be competitive. We have no divine right to be, after all, many clubs have droped out of league one and continued to struggle in league two. My gut tells me that'll be us next season, rattling around in the lower reaches of league two, like Colchester and Southend and countless others did. Thanks Roland, it's generally been great fun, at times, but this drawn out death rattle needs to end, decisively and quickly. |

Sadly subs didn't offer enough. Lloyd isn't going to win headers against players that look about a foot taller than him. Kayode doesn't look like a winger. Sagoe arrived yesterday. Some positives but you really do have to wonder genuinely where town are going to pick up points on any regular basis. A long range goal but can't really think of a genuine chance today. |

Steve Cross: it shouldn't have been a 1-4 game. No, it should have been far worse.

Roland out! Simple as. Not Hursts fault this. Need an organised protest sooner than later. Roland doesn't pick the team or sign the players. He doesn't set the team up or lead the training at Sundorne. He's culpable however for the clusterf*ck which is our current 1st team structure and bringing a manager who is a spent force at FL level. Project Prodigal has failed. |

Project Prodigal has failed. Depends on the tools you are given. I think you could have Klopp in charge here and he wouldn’t do much better. If the budget isn’t competitive then there’s nothing you can do. If Moore gets out his magic list ot bargain bucket players and all of them are of league two quality what can he do exactly? Demand a league one standard centre back? |

Project Prodigal has failed. You can only sign what you can afford and budget from investment in the club. We have lost money from a lack of non match day income by poor management and running and we keep losing boardmembers due to Roland star sign BS fall outs. These failures are all on him. Buck stops at the top. |

Initial thoughts are they looked a different level to us in terms of passing the ball & movement. Ultimately we look like what we are, a team put together on the cheap with the hope that organisation, fitness and desire will get us through the season

Posh are excellent A very fine team
We tried hard but with much less quality in all areas
What is obvious its that Toto and Pierre are too slow for this league and we must strengthen at centre back
Other than that the club has a feeling of stagnation and that is not down to Hurst
I hope we beat the drop but it won't be easy !

From what I've read on here last week we lost to a bad team and a bad ref. Today we lost to a good team and a bad ref. I am sure the words of wisdom from the keyboard oracle's on here will know all the answers so I look forward to hearing all the nonsense that will be typed.
I am A town fan, that won't change no matter what's spouted on my favourite fan site COYB.....but Hurst sort it out and earn your crust

I'd probably say the fault should lay at someone like Chris Doig, isn't he to coach the defence?
And yes Steve Cross is wasn't a 4-1 scoreline it could have been 7 or 8.

Pierre, Nsiala and Marquis are all finished at this level which is no surprise given their performances in recent seasons and the lack of interest in them from similar (or worse) clubs than us.
If we could get a just about competent league one centre back and forward we’d probably be alright, but of course that’s not going to happen.
