Peterborough 77% possession, 9 shots to Vale’s 1.
Expect a 1-1 draw.

Again enjoyed the podcast but a disconnect is emerging.

Generally - happy that we can be competitive against anyone

Individual games - Oh, not them. Don't fancy our chances against THEM.

Re: Teams around us - Thread to season end

Looking at Cambridge recent results last 4 games they have won 2 and drawn 2. Given them 8 points. The teams they played were Shrewsbury, Burton, Exeter and Fleetwood. All were struggling when they played Cambridge. So we should go there with confidence we can perform better than those 4 did, at th...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Wycombe Wanderers

Re: Cheltenham Town v Oxford United

Oxford league position suggests that they must have been playing well.

As such yesterday surely some of how poorly they played was down to how WE didn't ALLOW them to play well?

Which augers well.

Don't know what DC is feeding them but it must be good!

Re: The Points Per Game Equation

I made the point in another thread that WINS are what is needed. L W (e.g. Blackpool/Vale) is better than an (unbeaten) DD sequence. DC seems to be on this wavelength. That's not to say that at 1 1 away with 5 to go it's not worth settling for a point but the mindset at the outset should be to win e...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Cambridge United

Much more aggression and commitment yesterday. Early goal definitely helped. Positive signs. Some hope for the future. A winner at either Blackpool or Vale would help. One thing - given position we are in we need wins not draws. WL = 3 points. DD = 2 points. Need to be prepared to risk one point for...

Still believe a 'free kick' should be allowed to be taken immediately....if the opposing player has not retreated the minimum distance [?] then it should be moved 10m in the direction of play.

Re: Our first 10 fixtures

A good way of approaching this is to consider it like spread betting.

At what point would you pitch the spread to attract an equal number of buyers and sellers?

My pitch would be 12.5/13.5.

In other words my estimate is 13 points from those 10 games.
