Hit the nail on the head Gregor.I think yesterday demonstrated the importance of discipline along side a rogue element with the ability to carry the can.
I think JayMac who is ultra disciplined in his positioning and distribution is a bit underwhelming alongside cam and mcguane, but he becomes pivotal when the guys in front of him have the ability under a bit of pressure to take a man out of the game. Rod and Goodram have a bit of street footballer about them and countless times yesterday they created the crucial overloads from the midfield for Murphy and co to do real damage out wide.
Boro are usually able to nick the ball with their intensity but we were too good technically.
Seeing us play through them properly is a real plus. Cam will have to subscribe to that too if we want to keep watching those types of performances.
Also, I’ve been critical of Sam Long as a right back. Not as a centre back though. Superb.
For me the correlation has been since the announcement of Joe Moore on 25 March. I know there was talk that he was already in the building and working with the squad before then, but it seems like from that point we've been much more coherent and clinical.You could well be right, it’s only my observation that far too much has swung since we coincidentally got our a**e handed to us at Bolton - it’s too drastic a change after months of real turgid football to just happen in an instant. The formation changed, players out of the picture overnight. It honestly feels like a new manager bounce and a totally new regime.
We didn’t threaten to do what we did to Peterborough yesterday to anybody prior to Bolton, we had players who looked lost, disengaged and largely in disarray. Only a few were looking themselves.
The new access to data could certainly be a huge part of it. But they now look like they are comfortable, confident and clear on their jobs and also look like they like & believe in Des which wasn’t obvious from the stands only a month ago. All good and well people close to the club saying how ridiculous that was at the time but that’s what it looked like to so many people, I wasn’t alone. Astonishing transformation.
No idea what you mean.Pick of the bunch? Did they miss our second? Not enjoyed a goal that much since Vigoroux got an assist.
Where I was watching the game, we had a power outage with 5 minutes to go. Normally I'd have been frantic, but not yesterday. But I missed that goal until now. Thanks so much for posting. An unbelievable goal, from the vision to pick out Bodin, who brought it under his spell immediately, to a wonderful finish.
Iam sure I read they want £20 million for him. Harris played so well yesterday he was a real handful. It was like watching Danny Hylton in his hay day ,that goal at Wembley against Barnsley awesome.Didn’t look like a 5 million pound player to me, there aren’t too many League One players, (especially defenders) worth that sort of money.
Knight (5) and Katongo (2) had absolute nightmares for the first 45 minutes, mainly due to Murphy, both got hauled off at halftime.
Mason-Clarke looked dangerous, however I thought Stevens on the whole did pretty well against him, and stuck to his task.
Ajiboye who came on at halftime caused Leigh a few problems and looked the most likely of the Peterborough players to create an opening.
Our pressing was so good that it got to the stage that their defenders and keeper looked shell shocked.Iam sure I read they want £20 million for him.

4-1Tin Hat on…
It would have been interesting to see how we would have reacted to missing that penalty and then Borough not hitting the crossbar from 2 yards out.

Agreed. Outstanding contribution, showing the attacking depth of the team.I don’t think Gregly has received enough credit on here for the sensational quick-thinking freekick to set up Bodin for the fifth goal. And this just after he’d hit the post with an absolute fizzer.
Definitely something in it, Cam is quality but there's a tendency for him to try and do everything. My hope is that he can see what we're doing and realises he doesn't have to do this and can just focus on a specific role rather than playing on his own, if we can get him playing to his best we'll be a threat.
When was the last time he came off the bench for us? I'm sure he has but I can't ever remember it, seems if he's fit he starts for the last several years.
Didn’t Peterborough value Ronnie Edwards at £5million?
