0-1 that will do nicely! Away wins always more satisfying.

Yes very premature rioch I think posh got a winner and go top but no worries we’re still up there and with the games to come now should have every chance of staying there. We won and deservedly because we dominated the whole game and I don’t think they’d have scored if we’d played till Christmas but yet I don’t think Jensen has had one save to make and that worries me. Our shooting was abysmal given how many chances we had, just no composure at all, same with the final delivery, always to long or behind the player. Still, we won but oh what hard work we make of it. 😉

An essential win but dear me that was hard.
It was pass, pass, pass with zero end product.
I could almost call it boring but it was saved by Toal’s late headed winner.
We dominated possession but, in all honesty, created very little.
Adeboyejo put a powder puff straight into the goalies arms for our only shot on target in the 1st half. His inability to be able to control a ball also let him down when he was clean through in the 1st half.
That together with a couple of wild shots from Charles was our sole attack in the 1st half. Defensively we were fine and midfield had all the possession but lacked the ability to create.
Second half got worse as we passed passed passed it all over but could not create.
Lincoln, who had been a little naughty with previous tackles, eventually paid the price when their guy wiped out Morley to be sent off.
It didn’t change the game much them having 10 men as they just all stayed behind the ball hoping for a 0-0 which they nearly got until Toal headed in after numerous corners.
We deserved to win but our work in the final third left a lot to be desired.
We need to improve in the opponent’s box else there will be a few tight matches in the future.
Marks:-
Baxter - 6 Just nothing to do
Dacres-Cogley - 7 Always busy down the right. Defensively fine
Jones - 7 Solid and linked well with Dacres-Cogley
Santos - 7 Strong
Toal - 7 Good header for the winner and solid defensively
Williams - 6 A few loose passes (including one in the first minute)
Thomason - 8 Busy. Endless running and some excellent passes
Morley - 6 Involved throughout but no killer passes
Maghoma - 6 A little weak when challenged
Adeboyejo - 4 He is not a L1 player. Wasted our best clear chance when his ball control failed when in a tremendous position
Charles - 5 6 shots – all off target. Busy as ever but shooting deserted him
Bodvarsson - 5 Strange to say this but I hardly noticed him when he came on
Dempsey - 6 Busy when he came on
Sheehan - 6 Centred for the goal

Not doubting you W63, but on the vidi printer at the bottom of Final Score it omitted that games result and also on the league score chart, it was omitted there too, but prior to its omission, it had Posh 3-1 up Did they win or not??

Good result today. Necessary result as well. The top six are very close and we really cannot afford to drop many points with so many teams in the mix. Victor's ball control is very poor but he is a willing runner and will wear defences down for an hour before bringing on Bod who is a much more talented footballer. We need another striker in the window.

Sorry rioch I was wrong it was a draw. In fairness I think they got the scoring wrong for a time before correcting it but I missed it. Good news though as it was a draw 😆

We need another striker in the window. I agree on Vics ball control o2m but not that we need another striker. Dan will be back soon and we do have Gomez who can play up there as well as Carty back from Ireland if we’ve enough nerve to play him. We’ve got goals all over in this squad so I’d personally prefer to see any money we do have on a quality Left Wing Back which I see as the weakest part of our team. A strong midfield leader would also be a bonus but the strikers we do have must do their job better as only Dion is currently delivering.

Woppy I think you’re wasting your time on the BEN site as you are not allowed to have an opinion if it is different to the always right brigade at least on this site you can say your piece and have an opinion so you carry on. COYWM

“He attracts people around him, he holds the ball up well, and against Lincoln I thought he had one of his best games in a good few weeks. He looked back to his best and razor sharp again." A deluded IE on Victor Adeboyejo

A deluded IE on Victor Adeboyejo Well I think IE has to talk his players up Pedro, especially those he’s paid good money for and I know I’m in the minority but I actually like Victor. Nobody can say he doesn’t work hard and actually like Evatt I thought he did well against a packed defence at Orient and does create opportunities for others, notably Dion. I don’t though think Evatt’s system suits him best because he strikes me as a box player not one who’s going to create his own chances or dribble in from 30 yards out. If you look at the goals he has scored though and the ones at Burton, he’s a box player. Unfortunately that’s not how he’s played by Evatt having to chase down defenders and work off the ball. Personally I’d just stick him around the six yard box so he’s ready when the chances do come but that ain’t going to happen under IE so I don’t see loads of goals coming from Vic in the near future. I may be wrong but it’s just my take on it and another example to me more of IE’s inflexibility rather than Victors inability.

Anyone can be a hard worker but Pooh at his job which is a striker. I would rather have Kachunga who did a lot better than victor and scored almost the same amount of goals 🤷♂️COYWM

He thinks Vic is worth more now than he was then. Well worth is what someone is willing to pay? Anyone willing to pay over £200K for Victor.
When Ian Evatt bigs up Dan N, Vic he's really telling only defending himself and his ego because he's the one who paid good money for these guys.
Maybe even Sharon has started asking why our big gamble of last year doesn't get a start anymore and where his goals are?
