Overall we were average at best today but its a sign of a top team to win when not playing well. Coming from behind to win is also a good sign.
Right call from LR to take Collins & Bird off. Previous games Collins has played well overall but today he was off it, ive been pretty disappointed with Bird so far this season, I really thought he would dictate more of the play than he has. Smith played a big part in changing the game.
Without NML it showed we lack options on the bench in attacking areas, we could do with another 2 attacking players in before the transfer window shuts imo.
3 out of 3 wins at home, first time in 25yrs we have done that at the start of the season. Not bad for a new team who is yet to hit its stride. 6 unbeaten overall too.

And the only loss we should have been 3 or 4 up by half time

We stopped playing when Posh went down to 10 men.
There was a period in the first half as well where we really struggled to play out from the back and just lumped misplaced passes.
We don’t have it in us to lump it and play second balls. We don’t have CKR anymore.
Those also questioning Korey Smith. His vertical passes were brilliant when he came on. He did more in 20 minutes than Bird did in the entire game.
Jason Knight is too good for this league.
 

Fancy us for this one. We’re at home, good record at home, Peterborough play the same way year in year out whatever division they are in, we’ve beaten them at home already this year confident we will again. Should be entertaining. Marriott will score. 
 
                         Wildsmith
Knight        Stearman     Cashin     Roberts 
                     Bird         Hourihane    
 
      Dobbin          Sibley        Barkhuizen    

                           Collins 

Very exciting prospect. Once he gets fully up to speed, he is going to be a regular starter. He will terrorise League One defences. 

Agreed, he had a dreadful record in his three full seasons at Celtic;
16/17 - 25 goals and 10 assists in 50 games.
17/18 - 18 goals and 17 assists in 55 games.
18/19 - 17 goals and 6 assists in 55 games.
Overall - 60 goals and 33 assists in 160 games - 93 goal contribution in 3 seasons is dreadful. 
 

I think Sibley may start over NML if he has missed many days training due to family reasons.

Daniel Jebbison would be decent on loan too

Andre Wisdom, Martin Kelly, Cyrus Christie, Michael Hector, Nabby Sarr, Massimo Luongo, Dale Stephens, Danny Drinkwater, Izzy Brown, Scott Sinclair, Robert Snodgrass, Aaron Lennon, Adama Diakhaby, Marc McNulty, Adama Diomande, Andy Carroll, Oumar Niasse
All still free agents, would do a decent job at this level imo.

Scott Sinclair still available on a free, would do a job at this level.

I’ll say the same thing as I do every time - I want a draw that gives us the best possible chance of progressing to Round 4. This cup should must be good for morale at the club, and helps (somewhat) financially too, so we want to keep it going if we can.
With that in mind, I’ll take a League Two club - so Crawley, Gillingham, Newport or Stevenage.

Would take Lyle Taylor from the stench on loan. Won't get a game there. Seems to have a bit of an affinity with the Rams. Made some positive comments after the epic Birmingham game in Jan, despite acting like a t*** when he was subbed off.

Frank just referred to them as Notts Forest in his Sky interview ?

Yet another clean sheet

Sounds like Dobbin had had another good game tonight to follow up from his performance on Saturday. He is going to be a big threat at this level when he is fully fit.
