MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

[Snowflake Royal]

Knibbs, Wing and Smith all have some goal pedigree.

Ehib and Aeez need to contribute.

I think the goals will come

Ehibatiomhan is an odd one, one minute he looks quality next minute looks Sunday league, guess that’s expected from a young player with little experience. I’d back him to make an impact if persisted with.

Carroll on the other hand is not and won’t be prolific and doesn’t appear to suit Sellesball. Maybe a better option from the bench when Smith is back. Whether that will happen or not….

Always liked Ehib I think he'll come good.

Don't agree about Carroll and Selles though. As I've said above the one bit of respect I have for P6L6 (Selles) is for getting more out of Carroll than Pauno or Ince have ever managed. Today was the first game I saw with Carroll starting for us where the ball wasn't hoofed up at him every single time. We actually seemed to be going down the channels and putting crosses in which is exactly what is required. I think I probably saw more crosses at Carrolls head in the box in open play in this one game (whether they reached him or not) than in the entirety of Ince's time put together. Respect to P6L6 for that if nothing else.

For us: played six. Lost six.

Want to move goalposts? Ok. Competitive record time: for Southamption. Lost 11 out of 17. Win ratio 11.8%. Competitive record thus far for us: played one lost one.

A mare to point it out though, obviously. Sorry to trigger people but I do enjoy mental gymnastics. This popcorn is tasty.

ROFL at including preseason friendlies. Urterly clueless and pathetic.

He's managed 1 real game. Fin.

Just stating facts buddy. As you say it's only one competitive game for us so why you getting worked up?

Played six. Lost six.

The point I would add is that Ferguson is experienced at this level. Posh were utter bollox and all over the place for the first 20 but he settled them and changed it a bit and they got a lucky goal and then we never really hurt them because he set them up perfectly and they could have won by more.. It's experience I don't see in Selles at the minute, but he may get it as the season goes on and the players gel.

Personally, I would give Caylan Vickers a start. I know he’s only 18 but I have been really impressed by him whenever I’ve seen him play.

Also, a different position but I’d like Carson to be given a chance at LB.

Can't say I've seen much in him. I think Ehib is getting the chance he deserves at the moment. If Vickers creates chances or scores some goals off the bench then he forces a decision. Until then I'd be drip feeding him in, not putting starting pressure on him.

Similarly, I think NGW rightly has the slot. But if he has a run of form or injury then Carson gets his chance. Would like to see some sub time in games we're comfortable and winning.

[Gunny Fishcake]

Anybody know what the attendance was today ?

[JR]

Selles - lost 11 out of 17 games with Southampton.

Then lost every preseason game for us. All (bar one) by 2 goals.

And now lost his only league game, at home against a vastly weaker opposition.

Is Bullivant free?

What’s your personal issue with Selles? Massively out of perspective here. He’s been brought in for a long term project and you are judging him on one chaotic pre-season and a single league game?

Vastly weaker opposition shows you are not being rationale - this is a side who narrowly lost to the play-off winners, which puts them right up there in terms of League 1 strength this year.

Really likes what we saw of Vickers. Very lively, clearly trying to get on the ball as much as possible, trying to create as well as get into the box. Could be the seasons surprise package.

[Hound]

I think (and looks like the management think) that Vickers certainly has something about him - do think he looks very lightweight atm though - no surprise at all considering his age. Wouldn’t be starting him or giving him that much time just yet

[ILoveMoonPig]

Bit disappointed by today, really. We created some decent chances and with a little bit more luck (ball landing on a player's good foot, instead of weight-bearing foot etc), could have scored. I just can't help but think that for all the good build-up play, I never actually believed we would score, it just had that feel about it.

I think Ehib and Azeez have great positioning and fantastic acceleration. With a bit more experience, I'm confident both will be quality players.

Glad to see knibbs' energy levels didn't drop, he feels a lot like Tom Ince in that respect. He was exciting to watch.

Can't believe how many yellows the ref dished out and yet nobody got sent off. Seemed pretty comical at times.

Did anyone use green park station what was it like ?

It was like a train station.

Above Oxford in the league.

Did I hear a very small amount of motivational booing at FT?

You can say vvanker on here

[windermereROYAL]

Very encouraging to have a manager that isn`t afraid to use his subs and throw the kids into the mix unlike the Ince shit show from last year.

[Snowflake Royal]

Yes. Good use of subs.

[leon]

Err we lost.
