    It's not the case of getting carried away at all......Its about our finishing and the inability of Guildo unable to sort it out......he did nothing as we handed hulls win on a plate....and we were at home.....

    They done exactly the same to Leicester didn't they and we played better in our game than Leicester did. We usually loose against the easier teams don't we.

    Dai Guidolin has quite a good record if you haven't noticed. I think it's a case of being patient. You do know we have a new striker who is yet to feature.

    Llorente needs to score now if he wants to keep his place when Baston becomes fit

    Llorente's drought continues. Bad misses again tonight.

    Yes, I thought you wouldn't let that pass. What a surprise. <laugh>

    Drought may be stretching it but this is Llorente's third runout. He's a World Cup winner, a Champions League winner and a UEFA Cup winner. This is Peterborough. Not unreasonable to expect him to at least hit the target. He had opportunities tonight but failed to impress again. He's also had a couple of worrying misses in the previous games.

    Not knocking him because it's a new country and a new league but he needs to get up to speed with British football if (as Swan and Only has suggested) he wants to keep his place.

    Don't burst a blood vessel, it's only an opinion. <ok>

    He just got here and was as responable as anyone for Fer's tap in against Burnley , the winner for our goal against Burnley for our 3 points so far .
    Llorente , Baston and McBurnie will do fine IMO , it's defence that concerns me the most and am hoping Van Der Hoorn turns out to be a gem in the rough .

    Van Der Hoorn played quite well today apparently. My biggest worry is Fernandez.

    Llorente is obviously a quality player but he needs to be more clinical in front of goal. Baston will end up bing our number one striker by November IMO

    Not sure why out of the two ? 8 million paid for a very average defender as opposed to a player who hasn't featured or had a run of games to be able to iron out his defects whereas Fede keeps being just poor.

    I think Fernandez has a ton of unrealized potential and now that Williams has gone he will start to eventually realize that potential as " The Main CB ".
    For me Amat is slow and not great inthe aerial battles . Van Der Horn is a fierce aerialist Imo

    Leadership on and off the field is non existent that is a big worry. The two new strikers i hope they can do something but again i dont think they will be any better than Gomis. We should have either gone with British or at least someone who has a proven track record of scoring in the premiership. These foreign strikers dont have a good record unless they have played for the very best teams in Europe and then they will only go to the big clubs here....We might as well play Young Fulton and that other kid who,s name escapes me.....The have been scoring for fun recently and they dont look out of place either....use the foreign strikers as back up to them....
