Rampant

I saw him play the full 90 minutes in Gateshead's 0-2 at AFC Fylde. Unfortunately he was rarely involved in what was an off-key team individual and team performance.

Cheeky sod! I was going great guns until the wet fart at Northampton. As I said at the time though, I had an extremely risque joke about Joe Longthorne lined up for the next preview (vs Blackpool) which would probably have led to a banning anyway

OB mentioned during the commentary on Saturday that tickets were rumoured to have been going for circa £400 for Cambridge away. How much are the Carlisle ones going to fetch do we think?

1Wildsmith.....bit flappy and one led to a fine save, one great pass and several awful ones..... 6.5 35Nelson.....nuts and bolts CB..... 7 5Bradley......very good in an ungainly way..... 7.5 6Cashin.....my player of the season..... 7.5 2Wilson.....wears his socks too high..... 6.5 7Barkhuizen.....no time to make impact..... 6 12Smith.....not overly involved..... 6.5 32Adams.....industrious with a couple of excellent moments..... 7 17Sibley.....excellent assist and threatened going forward. Tidy defensively bar the obligatory yellow for a rash challenge..... 8 (MOTM) 16Thompson.....my favourite player. Got forward well in support and quick tidy feet on more than occasion..... 7 8Bird 🦅 .....great to see him back and hopefully can make his mark in his farewell appearance next week..... 6.5 9Collins.....numerous fine moments and tidy throughout. Unsung hero today for my money..... 7.5 11Méndez-Laing.....back on the scoresheet with the help of their keeper - why do goalies do that? Unlucky with effort from range against the bar..... 7 10Waghorn.....no chance to impact the game..... 6

Not for me. We don't want Posh resting players against Bolton.

I reckon B4 meant to say "We are coming WITH you Pompey".

He'll be well up for it you'd think.

The first of three must win games I suspect. Nine points gives us a chance of second place but anything less - even seven - and I think it'll be the playoffs. COYR

1Wildsmith.....one excellent save and one last gasp hilarious header..... 7 2Wilson.....kept knocking but got no answer..... 6.5 35Nelson.....had his hands full but solid again..... 6.5 6Cashin.....fine performance..... 7.5 17Sibley.....steady without setting the game alight..... 6.5 11Méndez-Laing.....frustrating night but never hid..... 6 12Smith.....a couple of lovely passes and tidy throughout..... 7 16Thompson.....lively when introduced..... 6.5 32Adams.....always involved and combative throughout..... 7 27Blackett-Taylor.....costly miss early on and lacked the thrust of his previous performance..... 5.5 4Hourihane..... did alright..... 6 14Washington.....couple of decent moments and looked lively but lacks composure..... 6 7Barkhuizen..... struggled to get involved..... 5.5 9Collins.....some nice touches but no chances created for him..... 6.5 10Waghorn.....was that a manbun? 6

Their stadium always makes a crowd look sparse. They aren't one of the better supported non-league clubs although I think their supporter base is slowly increasing.

Around 3,000 I believe.

Nunns go to Iceland.

For anyone feeling negative I'd argue the following. This is our second season following a significant meltdown off the pitch which resulted in obvious repercussions on it. We've consolidated and are now in a good position to return to the Championship. We have a sensible owner who genuinely loves the club and who has a desire to see the academy excel. He also isn't an egotistical and confrontational fool. The squad we have will, I suspect, be subject to much change during the summer as the restrictions end. The style of play may well turn towards something a little easier on the eye as a result. It's all about getting out of this division and recruiting well before 24/25.
