    Elliot Embleton - cant really rate him
    Ryan Nyambe 6

    Winter:
    Ebou Adams 9
    Dwight Gayle 6
    Corey Blackett-Taylor 5
    Max Bird - doesnt really feel right rating him as it wasn't really a signing. 
    I think a lot of them haven't been given a chance to score higher due to injuries etc and for some of them that was predictable given their profiles. Most of them have played a part in this promotion to which they deserve credit but overall quite a lot of so-so signings. Nelson the obvious exception from the summer.

    I might be in the minority but I wouldn't be bothered if Wildsmith left. He's an okay keeper, probably better than Vickers but in the grand scheme of things most keepers are a much of a muchness at this level and there will be plenty available similar to Wildsmith. If you go back through the keepers we've had since Roos took over from Carson, none of them will live long in my memory.

    We need a lot more going forwards. We know we've lost Bird already and on everything we know most of the strikers we have aren't the answer. We'll do well to get a full season out of Nat again too. I dont see enough goals in the side currently to do anything other than survive narrowly (or go down)

    I have a hunch we might be better suited to the Championship and the better quality opposition. We don't under Warne look like breaking down sides we're expected to dominate and today was no exception. What we have done well by and large is be competitive against the better sides in this league. Its not pretty, its not really how I want us to play but if it gets results its a results business not an art gallery.

    Rosenior's been given a kings ransom at Hull to be fair. They are probably underachieving a bit. Don't get me wrong I'm glad he got a nice job but he's been very well backed.

    Managed to keep a clean sheet midweek with little attacking threat so obviously the extra man in defence makes sense

    The bottom line as plenty have said is we win these three games we probably get promoted. We don't and we won't. If we can't having got into this position that doesn't come down to ability and not being good enough. You don't get to 90 odd points through not being good enough. That comes down to the mentality of being able to win routine games at this stage of the season and a little bit of luck but to be honest luck hasn't really deserted us lately, particularly in the Reading win. This is all on us .

    RE Warne. I think you have to give him the start of the season if we get promoted. I'm not a fan, I think he's fine at this level of being competitive but not a long-term solution. But it would be a big call to replace him and not one I see Clowes making. If we don't get promoted he's had 2 bites at the cherry, close but no cigar this time. Again I don't see Clowes replacing him but I think Warne's position becomes very tricky next season if we mess this up, there is a good chunk of the crowd not with him now and I think that turns to an overwhelming majority next season if we're still in League 1. We could do without that atmosphere if nothing else.

    Weren't good enough or didn't have the bottle? Because we were good enough against Bolton and Pompey. We got ourselves into a very healthy position. Time after time this season when they have the weight of expectation on them against a (respectfully) lesser side like Northampton or Wycombe they fold.

    Peterborough let right back into the mix after tonight too. They've got a very favourable run of games before that final one against Bolton. One positive is I believe Pompey will be mathematically promoted if they beat Bolton at the weekend so does give them some incentive to go for the 3 points.
