  • It was was 343…and that 352 in the second half. If you couldn’t spot that we were playing 3 at the back, you should give up watching football 
    It was 3-4-2-1 in the first half and the 2 in that formation were playing way too narrow which kept leaving us exposed, particularly on the right. It could be that they were supposed to be playing 3-4-3 but both Campbells were too narrow due to their lack of understanding between a 2-1 and a front 3 (wide) which needed sorting and thankfully was sorted. I thought second half we were 3-1-4-2 with the RM and LM dropping to make a 4/5 when defending and defo going with 6 in attack when turning over. The 1 was Dobbo until Coventry came on who then took the deep lying DM role. Get that latter formation working right and it is a very attacking formation and should keep oppos pegged back as long as the forwards have the stamina to press or 90 mins+. A 3-5-2 will either have 2x CDMs and a CAM or 3 x CMs to pack the middle of the park, didn’t see that, so think it was a 3-1-4-2… “It’s life Jim, but not as we know it…!”

  • And this is why I don’t think a JCH loan to us is a starter (if ever it was). It could be another Lyle Taylor situation. Although for Peterborough it could work of course 
    It was never going to be a loan.

  • I wonder if the ‘derisory’ fee accepted for Alfie and the subsequent stick the Cheltenham board received will have any sway on a) if they agree to sell Goodwin and b) if they sell him to us?

    Money talks, obviously, but if Oxford match our bid perhaps it’s a slightly more palatable destination for Goodwin than The Valley.

    Yeh but I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on that he’s only 21 and still maturing. Plus if he was ripping up trees at that age he would have already been snapped up by a club higher up the pyramid. Hopefully he’s a late developer like so many have been in the past and is worth a punt for the future 🤷‍♂️. He’ll have a presence in both boxes and If his hold up play is good that’ll do for now.

  • Goodwin is only 21, a couple of years older than the likes of Kanu who most of us think has a lot of potential but is a year or two away from week in week out men’s football. On that basis, all the stats tell me is that he has already played quite a lot of games for a 21 year old lower league player and his game appears to be improving with his goals to games ratio more recently. If Alfie had some input and would like to develop a partnership with him (footballing, keep old Kenneth in his box), then go for it I reckon. Hopefully we will be creating bags more chances than Cheltenham for starters. 
  • Sherlock, or Ricky?

  • Also hope we sign this player so that every game I can point and mutter the words ‘Goodwin that…’ to my boy. Will be such a very rare but satisfying feeling. No doubt will be subbed off in the 80-85th minute every game 💥 🤯🔫 🍎 🍏 🖕🏻

    Think this is it. Coupled with AMB injury tendencies (although that's been fine this season) it's sensible to have someone on the books as cover. He seems happy to be cover too
    He's also a good character to have around the place.

    fucked his back carrying us that one season
    Still grates on me that he scored a hat trick away at Shrewsbury and we lost 4-3 😩. Charlton doing then what they do now score three goals away from home and still can’t win 😤.

    edit; an exception of course being Wigan away this season which we almost managed to screw up 😏.
  • Superb
    Just out of interest, how are the west stand potholes coming on?

    Don't forget Yaya pissing Sanogo managed to score a hat trick in a match we still lost 4-3. It's our favourite.
  • Best rumour of the day I've seen.... Alfie May to Palace for around £10m... Source - Ackworth

    Wouldn't rule out someone coming in with a big bid...🙄
  • Why … there talk of us bringing in a young striker and an experienced striker on loan .. why not JHC then he can have his move abroad in the summer after playing some games for us 
    JHC is out of contract this summer, that’s why they want cash for him now. Loaning him to us would deny them the fee they are after, so can’t see that happening

    Matthew Sorinola is a free agent, can provide that LWB cover I think we need
    "Southampton boss Russell Martin is reportedly keen reuniting with fellow ex-Swan Matthew Sorinola.

    According to TEAMtalk, the Saints are among a clutch of clubs keen on the full-back, who was recently released by Union Saint-Gilloise.

    Preston, Middlesbrough and Stoke are believed to also be keeping tabs."

    Will probably get a Championship move.

    that’s why it would be last few hours of the window when he knew he was stuck in Peterbro under 23 squad till the summer

    No surprised.. not sure he was really given the opportunities in his natural position, but that being said, where was his best position

    Would he be that bothered by that though?

    Season ends on 27 April so it's not technically 'the summer' is it? He'd train with the kids for just under 3 months and then go on holiday. Not to mention that if he's going abroad he can sign a contract with a club now and then basically put his feet up.
