SutekhRoyal_jimmyhughsies no.1 Has there ever been a more overhyped academy product than Femi Azeez?
Don't think so. He was bang average today, he has a big season ahead of him. He needs to improve his end product which lacks, and he doesn't support full backs great either.
He will get there though
Thought Knibbs, on the other wing, didn't exactly shine with his defensive covering either both really need to do better in that area.

It seemed to achieve it's objective of gouging as much cash as possible from the away fans.
(after years of letting them in an un-reciprocated £20)

That’s a bonus then. Watch the highlights I was surprised to see Posh fans right next to C1871 section, I hope (particularly after some of the behaviour) they will look to restrict them closer to the corner moving forwards

Snowflake Royal One thing I'd forgotten about, for first game of the season with a new look squad and manager. There was a worrying amount of arguing and finger pointing.
McIntyre at Bouzanis
Carroll at KelvinE and Azeez. Azeez giving back.
Not a great sign of a happy dressing room

South Coast Royal Those phoning into Radio Berks seemed very pleased with the performance-I thought, as others have said, we looked good for the first 20 minutes when their defence was all over the place (memories of Hillsborough last season?) but after that I felt that they were much the better side.
With BFTG I always feel that we should focus on what happened on the day rather than how things might pan out in the future so ratings FWIW:-
Keeper-you can see why Dellor said pre-match that a new keeper is coming in 6
Yiadom-the usual steady performance until their winger skinned him and he was substituted 7
Tom 1-steady 6
Tom 2-steady 6
NGW-weak defensively 5
Savage-tidy but not spectacular 6
Hutch-normal aggression and determination 7
Knibbs-ok in patches 6
Azeez-compared to their 2 wide players, slow and missed a rare chance 6
Ehib-tried but lacks pace and needs to go on loan 5
Carroll-we know what we will get and he was all over the pitch when preferably he should stay more central -great enthusiasm 7
The subs-not very effective although Mbengue showed his normal commitment and the cameo from Vickers was very promising and was the highlight of the day.
Afterwards Selles implied that 6 more are expected to sign-hopefully amongst those there will be a bit more pace and a creative midfielder as we badly lack imagination based on last few seasons and yesterday.
BTW I thought Peterborough, especially out wide, were quick and creative and might have won by more based on their second half performance-I felt for Tommy Mac stretching to keep that lob out and my own hamstring tightened up just watching.

RoyalBlue Personally I don't understand why Bouzanis is getting so much negative press for yesterday.
Yes, he flapped at and dropped one cross (he was very good for the rest). Yes, he had a couple of other slightly iffy moments. However, he also made a few good saves and one excellent one in the first half when he flew across to his left and with his top hand tipped a screamer over the bar when it had looked a certain goal.

Fox Talbot RFC seem determined to keep the attendance figure a secret. Couldn’t find it on BBC Sky or EFL sites last night. Why are they so bloudy unhelpful on this? Just expect us to find the figure in next week’s programme? Oh. Anyone found it yet? I’m guessing 10,000.

Over 12,000 i reckon.

Did we play at Hillsborough last season?
