    You would think at 1-0 down he would bring on some attacking players. But no. Instead he brings on our 6th defender on to the pitch and move Baldin into CM replacing Ogogo. I mean what the actual hell is he doing.

    Nicholson's back and so is Oztumer.

    Good news - perhaps we’ll just be beaten and not thrashed!!!

    Surely we've got to stop the rot at some point! - as unlikely as it sounds, it would be one hell of an upset if tonight was the night! Oh hang on, just realised I haven't taken my medication today - don't know what came over me there!!

    Sounds like a bit of a ding-dong battle with plenty of chances to both sides in the opening 20 mins.

    Decent performance so far. We're in with a chance, and there's some creativity on the bench. Very solid so far.

    Watching on I player live text glad I didn't spend a tenner on the pass for the game because nothing appears to have happened in the last 6 minutes

    Oztumer and Nicholson both subbed there goes our creativity

    I doubt they could have done the full 90 after returning from illness/injury.

    Time for Jonah and Zain to shine!

    good point that not many people saw that one coming

    A decent point against Posh - we came under a bit of pressure in the latter stages but held on well.

    At least that stops the losing streak. Hopefully we can push on with Nicholson and Oztumer back.

    I cannot see us staying in league 1 with these players why were we not looking for players before the window opened Cheltenham signed 2 strikers on loan yesterday and we can't get 1

    Swindon lost and Wigan didn't play we are just out of the bottom 4 Accrington next and another defeat
    coming up

    Hard to see how we are going to avoid the drop this season - if we do somehow manage it, it will be through other team's misfortunes than our own merits. We are lured into false optimism every now and again when we scrape a reasonable result like at Peterborough - lets be honest, none of us would have wagered much money on us getting a point up there, and then we crash and burn again the next time we take to the pitch. Normal service has been resumed, we can't score goals, we can't defend, we have no passion running through the squad these days, it's looking more and more as though we can't attract any quality players to the club, let alone a striker of some sort and our recruitment all season has been woefully lacking. Really hope I'm wrong, but I still feel league 2 beckons - part of me thinks at least we would see some victories in league 2 and the football would be more enjoyable, but with the squad we currently have, I wouldn't even back them to do particularly well in that division!
