3-0, Sibley double! Ward crosses and Sibley controls it, sets himself, and drills a shot across the keeper.

Yes, come on Daniel (B4) you didn’t deliver on me losing a few pounds with grief, so the least you can do is pick the Rams up. It can be an early birthday present for me 😂

I never believe the narrative on this forum until the thunderbirs's launched.

Has he taken something?

Astonishing the quality of football played on the ‘grass’ not in the air! It seems a heavy touch was a good thing then. You’ve got to think that the game would be called off these days. Plus the players were fit must have been like running through treacle. Strangely they didn’t seem to get the injuries we get now. Apparently the game has changed for the better!

And FFP when we finished 3rd 

Fester particularly grate me because the narrative of them being a wonderful club who did things the right way.... except for screwing over their creditors......

2 year contract extension for Zak Chappell.
Had a good first season, particularly in the T20.

And yet we offer this scenario to Barkhuizen time and time again.
 

Full credit to everyone involved for grinding out that win what was always going to be a difficult game. Brilliant 3 points and the results went in our favour too!! 
It was always going to be an ugly scrap of a game which we stood up to well and limited them to few chances, but if not for Sibley’s 90th minute winner, this post could’ve been very different.
I struggled all game to contain my anger and frustration and this started when drinking a doom bar in the harvester I saw the team news. Now the only caveat is, were the 13 players who played today the only ones fit enough to play a reasonable part in the game? That to me is the only possible justification for the team Warne picked today. Last time I was as disappointed at a team sheet was the 2019 play off final and the selection and tactics were akin to Nigel effectively playing a 4-6-0 at home to Leicester in the freezing cold in the middle of our horrific run in 2011. 
Back 3? Nyambe right wing back? More defensive players on the pitch than attacking ones. No wonder we couldn’t muster a single shot in the first half (or actually until the 76th minute wasn’t it?). The balance was all wrong from minute one. Half time came and went, no changes. Then the first sub, and it’s Smith! Another defensive minded player, although to be fair he got us passing more in midfield and it moved Wilson to wing back (where he should’ve started if we’re playing that system). Then Hallelujah an attacking sub, Sibs is coming on, but it’s like for like, we still have more defensive players than attacking players in the last 15 mins when we’re trying to win the game!! Barks had run himself into the ground, but Tommo could’ve also come on to improve the midfield balance. Then we manage to work a situation good play from Mendez and a great finish from Sibbo. Job done so suppose Warne got it right in the end, and 3 points is all that mattered.
Thought the players did their best today with the tools they were given, Nyambe gave a sterling effort at right wing back, Bradley definitely MOTM, pleased for him but IMO shouldn’t have even started the game. If he wanted a back 3 then surely play Nyambe with Nelson and Cash, Wilson wing back and then either Sibley in a front 3 or Thommo in a midfield 3 with Mendez and Barks up top, would’ve given us more attacking balance and given us a more convincing performance and more comfortable victory against Stevenage who I thought were poor. 
Managers like players can have bad games and personally l thought Warne had a stinker today and got away with one. But I don’t care, 3 points is all that mattered and we’re in a fantastic position which is in my view also very much down to Warne, his understanding of the league and getting the most out of a squad which I still don’t really think is suited to his playing style, people bang on about the players he’s brought in he’s had 18 months etc, we’ve been dealing in freebies for the most part, hes been unable sign the young energetic talents the likes of which Posh have been signing. 
Well done to the lads today but as well as they did, I never want to see that same 11 on the pitch again unless it’s the last 5 mins trying to see out a game. 
The fans today were immense!!! Many times they could’ve turned but didn’t, we’ve got to do everything we can to help these boys over the line.

I’m not singling out MB with this in any way but just using this post as a starting point….
But why on this forum do so many folk  have to resort to disparaging or nasty remarks towards posters whose opinions they disagree with ? I’ve said before that we are all fans and want success for the Club. We can debate and agree to disagree but criticizing something about the Club does not make someone less of a fan compared with one who always has the rose-tinted specs on. Neither does whether u were at the game or watched it on tv. Neither does the length of time one has been supporting the team.
When I look at other teams’ forums I just don’t see the bile that so often rears its head on here. I know there is a certain ‘clique’ of members on here who will always circle the wagons when one of them is disagreed with etc. There are also certain members who are singled out for special treatment because they are viewed by those members as being negative. But that’s their right. That’s what the forum is supposed to be about.
 It should be an inclusive forum not one where people attempt to bludgeon others to accept their or the ‘party’ line.
And to be clear, i and others will strike back if attacked but that’s not what we want to have to do. We won’t be cancelled by the mob. 

Are we losing yet?

Peterborough have only got 1 point out of their last 5 games. Lost four on the bounce (more a dead cat bounce).

He looks like he sweats beef dripping

I'm so unbelievably frustrated with the situation (shock horror) DCFC signing old men up front with dodgy injury records = no fit strikers.  Warne won't name a striker from the academy in the squad. Reality is this club will not be sustainable long-term without using the academy and selling some of them on at a profit because we are turd at scouting for other players with potential. Warne is very bad for this club long-term even if he gets them up in the short-term. The other thing is signing Wash is as bad as the dodgy PPE contracts from the government in my book, the man is not fit for purpose and stealing a living from his mate Warne. 

Blimey @sage and @jono falling out. Bloody Paul Warne. He has to go.

Inwardly, aren't we all? 😋

Knowing Daniel , he would still be having a little sulk that we didn’t get 20 million for Max Bird
