I hope I live till I’m 95 to see it happen

Happy Birthday! You must be gutted?

Exactly this. No away win all season even with this. And we played Bolton.

It will stop us

We played Bolton away at the most difficult time - first game. It was always going to be their most energetic performance. It was our fans that called it wrong.

 

[Hobo]

So you're happy that we've conceded in the 95th minute to draw the game today are you?

Nobody is happy. But it is still a good result rather than bad.

 

[shmmeee]

Did not see the game , but a great point earned there and well done Biamou for stepping up and proving me wrong keep it up

The results at Oxford and Peterboro are good results. In the minds of those fans who never seem able to accept that opponents might try and score against us if they are losing, they will always appear to be bad results. You are also spot on re the score at Bolton - it was always going to be a tough one for us with the way it had been hyped up, and yet again (like today) a very poor ref was one of the reasons we didn't win.
I'm sure the Pompey and Blackpool fans, amongst others who we've scored very late against, would probably be moaning about our late goals.

You will not convince me we didn’t beat Bolton. Disallowed perfectly good goal and two stonewall pens not given.

It’s not like we were toiling away for 90 mins without creating anything.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Godden out for 3-4 months!!

Oh no not another one.

agreed, if we'd score the last minute goal then the perception of the result totally changes as does the mood among the support but it's still a very decent away point against a good side.
I feel we are on track for the play offs, that of course can change but at the minute things are going OK, of course, there is room for improvement.

Would agree were on track for the lottery of the playoffs.

Very good result today. For large periods we gave them a footballing lesson. Max and Baka look good in this formation with bombing wingbacks. The last minute goal was a fair reflection of the game but we should have put it to bed in the first half. Overall we are a very good side and will be in the promotion push. We have on paper a few easy games now where we can push into an auto spot behind Ipswich. Godden will be a blow but we have depth in the squad and as Max showed today he brings something to the team and will score goals. Lots to be positive about. Concerned that Dabo is out next game, not sure we have a replacement.

We have watson who i rate

 

[Skyblueweeman]

So annoyed with that. Biamou’s goal was sublime and should have won it for us.

The majority of goals scored against us are our mistakes.

Thought Max was a beast up front. Caused their defenders loads of problems.

To your point about our goals against being our mistakes, atleast that's something we can control.

I was gutted when the goal went in at the death but overall it’s a very good performance and a very good point. Only thing is again we have missed some easy chances and it could be said paid the price as a consequence.

 

[junglej13]

Gutted with the timing and manner of the equaliser but still a fantastic point. I didn't think we'd get anything today let alone play as well. We really need the front two to get some consistency with Godden out. Also need Kastaneer to step up.

 

[Harries11]

For what it’s worth, Peterborough are the latest of a couple of forums I’ve visited after the game and have said we are the best team to play them this season, with a few saying they can’t see us finishing out of the top 6.

We are a good team, with a few cogs missing, and have a good chance this year of doing well, we were unlucky not to take the 3 points today but we played a side who were in prime form and in my opinion were better than them for a large portion of the game.

I for one am optimistic about our chances this season

 

[Sick Boy]

An admirable performance, both Baka and Max played well and what a great goal by Max! Gutted not to get the win but a decent point stil.

 

[David O'Day]

Good point gutted we didn't win has grenners got over Max scoring a worldie?

[speedie87]

I’m actually looking forward to hiwula being able to play up front in this formation

 

[block16]

Brilliant performance today. Shoulda been 3 but the referee hindered it being comfortable so was always the risk they’d equalise. Max Biamou 10/10 display today

 

[Sick Boy]

It’s still concerning for me that we’re approaching November without an away win

 

[Johnnythespider]

Today was a good result, a win would have been great but most would've taken a draw beforehand, glad Max lasted the 90 and scored a great goal. Had a lovely steak and OMD were brilliant, it's been a good day.

 

[fernandopartridge]

On the other hand we've only lost once and we've played a couple of teams above us

 

[johnwillomagic]

Overall on reflection it was a good point gutted as I was.

I must admit in the end glad did not go to Mk and went to this gane instead thought the SBA were fantastic today!

Max and Baka looked a handful all game and have Hiwula to throw into the mix of a front two!!

 

[tigersb]

Still gutted by the late equaliser
Happy to have taken 4 points from last two games though, considering that people on here last Saturday thought we'd take nothing from these games

 

[tigersb]

It's another to add to the 'if only' pile though.

Bolton, tranmere, mk dons, Oxford and now Peterborough

I genuinely didn't think eisa was playing.

I'm sure Portsmouth fans are still saying if only after our draw with them
These things happen it's how you react to them

 

[Johhny Blue]

In the words of WGS he may not be a great goal scorer but he sure is a scorer of great goals.

Did not see the game , but a great point earned there and well done Biamou for stepping up and proving me wrong keep it up

over to you Grendel

 

[Astute]

Accrington home
Rochdale home

Gotta be taking 6 points then it’s sunderland away

With Burge in goal :shifty:

9 points on their way to us :smuggrin:

 

[Astute]

So you're happy that we've conceded in the 95th minute to draw the game today are you?

We are all so happy that we had a party last night to celebrate losing 2 points to that goal.

But back to reality. Great away performance against the highest scoring team in England. They were always going to be dangerous. On paper that was about our hardest game of the season. They were also top of the table.

Was pissed off when the ball went in. But what you need is a bit of reality.

It’s great football for their equaliser. You should be closer as the defender but the dribbling was brilliant from their player

You could argue we should never have taken anything from Portsmouth and Fleetwood (should’ve been dead and buried before half time against Fleetwood) and lucky to snatch a few late wins in other games like Blackpool and Wimbledon (although we were much the better team V Wimbledon so deserved that one).

My point is there will always be undeserved results both for and against all season. That’s football.

 

[Gint11]

Good performance yesterday. I had us down for a heavy defeat because they were at home and have a potent front 3 but by all accounts we dominated first half at least. I think it’s become obvious the last 2 games that we suit 5-3-2 with the players we have available (Baka & Biamou) up top, especially now Godden is out.
4 pts from 6 against Fleetwood and Peterboro with where they are in the league is decent, and it was very close to 6.

in the words of Sunday league:
BACK AND FACE

So did they though to be fair

Yep-that’s fair.
