Can someone remind me why LJ would never play Szmodics was it a personality issue it cant be ability we all know Sammy has plenty of that ?

Didn’t want him, wanted Palmer. Didn’t look like Palmer would come in so reluctantly signed him. Then Ashton signed Palmer too ?

But he wasn't good enough for us at the time - Now in our current state then yes he probably is.

Problem was we never found out as he didn't play. LJ said he had to be persuaded we should sign him which possibly indicates he was Ashton's choice. Same for Eisa and Adelakun I suspect.

Because when he did play he looked rubbish.

Probably moved too far up the ladder too young.  He's 26 now and two seasons further on then when we had him last. Has developed as a player.

Sammie the vengeance-seeker is causing us some problems, eh? ?

Frustrating performance so far: our passing was OK, we created more chances than them but a quality strike and an avoidable second goal are keeping us level. We need to be more solid at the back if we want to win this.

Happy for Tanner (good goal), and I think we're playing better on the left side, with Pring and O'Dowda.

Nobody stopping the cross.

Generally we are giving them too much time and space in and around the box. 

COD playing well and has beating of his full back. 

Not much pace in midfield. Too easily closed down and losing the ball in our half. 

Still more goals at either end, but they have pace going furward the we lack.

first half thoughts. A ridiculously open game of football which could end 4-4!  Two excellent goals from SS who will be gagging for his hat-trick. Delighted for Tanner who took his goal well. Defensively we look shaky and having got ourselves ahead it was poor for them to get a second. 

NW talking us up on RTV, however, I think a draw at half-time is about right.

1st half summary:

Slow start, but eventually got our pressing shape and dealt with their opposite runners (one short, one long), started to see them struggle to play out and then they scored.  Fought back well, good pressure with a few corners after good build-up, and we equalise.  Another good spell of building led to going ahead, but Szmodics (off you - not #feelingsupersonicgivemesammieszmodics) has scored two goals.

Just got to keep concentrating, they are here for the taking - they probably feel the same.

Pring mixed, looking good getting forward, but positionally not great at LB.

James and Williams good, King very quiet.

Starting to get fed up of the amount of crosses we concede from our right. Tanner just doesn't get close enough to his man every time. For the goal, bloody Kalas is almost tripping over him. Not good enough from both.

We've been failing to stop teams getting crosses in for about 3 seasons. I can't understand why successive coaches have failed to sort this weakness. Not just down to one or two players.

Szmodics has struggled to get into the Posh side, he obviously has extra zest today to put one over us.

In the Peterborough paper this week he said he was determined to show City fans what they missed!

COD our main source of chances created. Good half from him
