Peterborough at home (very early) match day thread

[Roger Red Hat]

Have we been denied a penalty yet?

[And Its Smith]

If you switched Lee Johnson and Nigel Pearson's jobs they have done/did at City, there would be chants of Johnson Out now.  And Pearson wouldn't be hated as much as Johnson is.

One nil up but it’s been dire again

And right on cue :laugh:.

Really good header from Atkinson, gives us a somewhat undeserved lead

[Spike]

GET IN!!!

[collier]

Funny that, we have a good 5 minute spell and score. Who knew it was that easy??

[keflav]

Great Header get in...

Very undeserved I would say, but great header and a very welcome goal

[cityexile]

If I had a penny for each time Atkinson has scored from a corner recently, I would have two pennies.

Which is not a lot, but it’s funny it’s happened twice.

[Garland-sweden]

Yes Yes Yes COYR!!! Dasilva got the feeling. Atkinson!!!

[Ivorguy]

Well done City.  Three points today would be. Great step towards safety

It's the centre ones I'm worried about

Long rang, speculative stuff though. No real threat to the goal.

HT 1-0, but we have been mainly poor.

The situation the two faced was/is totally different! LJ's every wish granted, NP inherited a shitshow.

[brad blit]

Despite the goal and 5min of attacking play it’s still been a poor half and you could argue Posh don’t deserve to be behind. 

Too many players with their heads at the beach already, or head at another club (ie Scott) 

[Ska Junkie]

Poor first half but we will take that.

I have to say, Szmodics looks lively.

Yes they are different and you haven’t understood what I said.  I am saying that if Pearson oversaw what Johnson achieved then he wouldn’t be hated as much as Johnson is. And if Johnson oversaw what Pearson is then it would be choruses of Johnson Out.

Despite being one up we were IMO outplayed in the first half and have generally looked second best. They created the clearer scoring opportunities and were able to move the ball effectively always looking to overwhelm us on the break. By contrast we have found it difficult to put a few passes together. A neutral watching this would think we were bottom of the table.  Posh players and fans must be extremely disappointed to be behind.

Unless we up our game +++ in the second half this, I fear, ain’t going to end well.

From BBC Peterborough; "Bristol City don't deserve it, but they've taken the lead. That all came rom one bad Peterborough pass. They had been attacking, we broke away with 4 on 2, but one bad pass gave the ball away and they then outnumbered us".

The commentator also remarked that "Szmodics only has eyes for goal and won't pass to better placed team mates"

 

[Gazred]

Glad we are 1 up. Both sides look beatable. Set piece looked our best chance.

Get the next goal and we should be all good.
