Peterborough visit Oldham on Saturday hoping to make it three wins in a row.
There's talk that we are reverting to the way we used to play - letting goals in but scoring more, which proved highly entertaining last season. Fergie appears to have changed his tactics against Notts County, influenced I think by the chairman. Coach Gary Breen, I think, tried to stabilise our defence at the expense of offence, which led to us losing games. Now, I think, freer rein and emphasis is to be given our attack, which will compensate our defensive inadequacies. We'll be trying to score our way to promotion (!), with Assomabalonga and Ajose, and the third attacker Posh are trying to attract to the club.
Let's see if this reveals itself against the Latics.
UTP!
The Latics V The Posh

Good to see that we are signing local boy Conor Washington from Newport. However, in addition to this striker, we need a midfielder. Any chance of luring Grealish from Notts County? We also need to re-sign full-back Zakuani.

Am I alone in thinking that the incompetent manager of the Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre, Gordon Brittas, bares a striking similarity to Posh manager Darren Ferguson?

Well, his half-time talk didn't seem to work today!

P.S. Credit, by the way, to Oldham for showing the mettle we didn't.

How things can change...a couple of minutes before the end you were winning and we were only drawing. We got a win we didn't really deserve; you must be gutted getting nothing after leading 3-0. You have my sympathy.
We're at Walsall on Tuesday, I'd like to think we could do you a favour but our away form militates against that. But who knows? Bad runs have to come to an end at some point. Good luck at the Blades on Wednesday.

Well done against Salop, Don. Walsall away will be a toughie. We were well beaten by them away in front of the TV cameras. I hope you beat them.
Subject to the Blades's pitch being fit for play, I'm hoping the ear-bashing Fergie will probably have given the Posh players after the second half capitulation to Oldham, will produce a Posh win (but I'm not counting on it).

TP , that result will really set you back, and could be a season defining moment.Nothing is going for you,we are on a run when it is all coming together, we are having the rub of the green week after week.

That's football, TF. Success is a lot about getting the rub of the green.

It seems you tend to get then rub of the green when you're doing well...and vice versa. There's a saying in football that you make your own luck and I think there's a lot to of truth in that. Belief and graft can get you a long way.
