    Good post.

    He will be part but he will be moved to the bench very soon.

    Aye, he said something a few weeks back about showing his teeth when he needed to and I think that’s what’ll start happening now.

    We could probably guess which players as well because I think he sees exactly what we see.

    And this is why the division is so hard to predict.

    Peterborough lost today against a team in a relegation fight.

    In their previous game they drew 0-0 with another relegation threatened side who had the better chances.

    They've lost 7 games to Sunderland's 4 and are only 3 points ahead.

    Bollocks to them <party>

    I like the fact that LJ is not afraid to tell it as it is. He sees what the fans see.

    It’s the draws that are really going to come back and bite us. We just don’t go for it enough. We have lost fewest games in the division and lost 3 less than the leaders. We really need to stop being scared of losing games and go to actually win them.

    I was going to post the same thing. Just been looking at the table and I know it’s unlikely we will catch the top two and Doncaster look like the team to beat but fingers crossed if the new players hit the ground running we should move further up the table very soon. We MUST be looking to win every home game from now on.

    We don't boss games enough and scare the **** out of the opposition like Gillingham did to us today. Apart from the goal the first half was bloody painful and we looked scared ****less. The new players should change things hopefully and also include Gooch as he made a massive difference on the wing today. The league is very very close at the top and I still think we can do it and finish 2nd!

    Let’s be fair to Johnson, this squad is a very average league 1 side. He is making changes where he can. Judge him this time next year!!

    But you can also criticize him a little as he kept saying he likes attacking football so far we have seen very little of this. I still think he's restricted with the poor players but still haven't seen much of this

    But who apart from McGeady is attacking? He’s brought players into the side. Diamond is very very raw and has a lot to improve on if he is to have a career even in league 1

    I think he will. He's a good player in this division, ie, he occupies defenders and creates space. I feel for the bloke, clearly never been fit. He looks quite share and lean, also has a reasonable turn of pace

    You need the players for attacking football and our best attacking players are either injured (hume), have been injured (gooch) or lacking in form (diamond, geads, maguire). Who else is there aside from them?

    Is the issue an attitude problem or ability? I was surprised with the 'right side' comment tbh. I thought Gooch changed the game down that side and don't think Power did too much wrong. We were better down the right than the left imo.

    The lad doing the interviews is a bit ****. If he worked for the general media and not the club he would be told to **** off IMHO. As indicated by LJs comment of 'what was the second question'.... Oh aye it was so irrelevant that I forgot it.

    That keeper is woeful, a good keeper instills confidence in his defence, our defence is probably the best in the league but they have no confidence in Burge, you can see it. Central midfield is a concern as well, we need a big horrible b*****d.
