What a great performance. I actually ended up not boycotting it as nothing better to do. Man of the Match Day, closely followed by Ogogo. I used the c word 3 times in the first half listening to those commentators on IFollow who talked as though 'Posh' had already won at kick off. They were so deluded as though Rovers weren't even allowed on the same pitch as their team and listening to the away commentary is a real eye opener (or is that ear opener?). From the last 3 games, the most respectful were Oxford commentators who were knowledgable, this lot tonight were so biased at one stage I was telling them to get a room with 'Posh '. No one is allowed to beat them surely.. Then they realised they were talking absolute crap and Rovers had more chances and 60% possession. Joe Day was always unconvincing in his saves, no he wasn't.. arrgghhhh!!!! Anyway, great work ethic, looking forward to Saturday now, deserved at least a point. Well done PT and the players. I guess the Radio Cambridgeshire commentators hadn't been told they would be relayed on iFollow. Whereas the Radio Oxford commentators were clear about that and mentioned it a few times. As you say, it was also clear the "Posh" commentators hadn't done any research on us. |

Wasn't 'there' as I don't watch I-Follow on school nights, but this sounds like a much better away performance than at Oxford, and an important away draw. Well done PT2 and the players. I am ever so very slightly less anxious than I was this afternoon.

Some 'beauty & beast' in our football tonight.
Balance.
Very good.

The difference Oz and Nicholson made was that they found space and worried the defence, which then gave Hanlan support and room, the Peterborough defence couldn't cope with all 3 of them, and that is what we have missed. |

Need to keep Day Messi Nicko
Williams and Ogogo fit and we will comfortably pull clear of the drop.
Bring on the high scoring and high conceding Dale on super Saturday.
Keep the faith. In Tiss we trust.
Not optimistic after his post match interview of a new striker arriving at BS7.

Nice to see Baldwin getting top marks from Sam Frost. I particularly like the way that he suddenly appears in midfield when he spots an opportunity. I noticed that the Oxford summariser was very complementary about him on Saturday too .

I thought we played well. A great point really. You could see why they have had success - that front 3 looked dangerous if given any space and I thought we adapted well after a shaky start. Could easily have made it a classic smash and grab away point.
We look a different side when we have actual attacking players on the field and don't have to play centre backs in midfield. This gives me hope - if we play like that we will easily pick up enough points to pull away from trouble but we could do with a few more in and out to balance up the squad for the 2nd half of the season.

Upon reflection, some of our lesser mentioned players, I thought our new man George Williams had a decent game considering it was his first full start with us, he made a few mistakes but was ever willing to get forward at pace, it would appear he is settling into the team nicely. Baldwin who I have my doubts about and does have a mistake in him was focused and determined, best game so far in the quarters, Ogogo & Grant work together well, very steely, may not suit every game but was bang on tactics for last night. I liked the fact we tried to win the game and did not sit back, we came close, with Daly back, we are in business.

For me it was how disrespectful they were to us, we will see if they finish top 2 this season, he was lucky to keep his job after they fell short last season with all the goals in their team. They were over confident and our tactics set up to gradually push them back. My favourite performance of the season so far |

Wow what a much improved performance!?
Abs & Grant unsung heroes for me as much as the reprisals of Oz & Nickers.
Special mention for Abs. My m o m because he put his body in the line, got himself booked for the cause, covered everywhere in midfield and perfect blend and balance for Grant. Whom made himself more noticeable by coming into the game more. Have we found our perfect midfield pairing? Excellent, And.... definitely two fingers up to the person whom sat quite happily seeing you out on loan..
Alfie excellent clearance off the line and Day with some great saves, although I would much prefer him to hang on to the ball now and again!?
For me, Tis got the starting line up correct because we had players in their recognised positions playing to their strengths. We forged partnerships across the field. We played simple passing and didn't try to overcomplicate. A tinkered formation matched the opposition's and man-for-man we competed. We looked balanced and more in control. Not perfect, but much improved. We had Oz picking some exquisite passes..
I disagreed with subs, that's just me, but PT must take credit for the result and on another day we might have lost or even won it.
Much enthusiasm now for Saturday where we can take confidence from a decent performance v Rochdale. They might have a goal in them but they certainly can let a few in....4 last night! And v Charlton.
I'm looking forward to Saturday more now.... after a rejuvenated performance the promotion push has begun!

Tis had the players available at last that he wanted. Subs had to come - Oz and Nich couldn't last the whole game. I'm happy to leave it to Tis to decide who best to bring on.

I thought the actual commentator was trying to stay fairly balanced BUT the co-commentator was anything but. I wonder what the away teams' supporters when we're at home make of Keith Brookman's dulcet Bristolian tones on iFollow. |

Taking oztumer and Nicholson off at the same time was fatally flawed. We got away with it just. Yes both are coming back from injury but don't take them off at the same time when we are in the assendancy.
