He did get the ball once,passing to the opposition,as per usual.Wrong taking Cox off for Theo; Cox had a hand on both goals and Theo did nothing

For those there how did Woodyard get on? I was never a fan of his and didn’t rate him in the slightest. He’s obviously done well to do the drop into non league and work his way upto captain of Posh.
Clearly I've a trick or two during the drive down...but wasn't Mr Evans was on a touchline ban today ??
Oh and more bad news I have heard we probably won't be ever seeing Sam Barrett in a Southend shirt...….Could be a career ending injury
A traditional 4-4-2 in truth is a poor formation, which is why very few top teams bother with it anymore, it only really worked in the past because everyone else used it as well. As soon as clubs started adopting other formations it became very apparent that 4-4-2 is weak. It is vital to control the midfield in a football match and if you've only got 2 players in the middle whilst the other team has 3 then you're going to get outnumbered, at which point the extra striker you have on the pitch isn't going to count for much because he'll rarely get the ball.many people seem to have a fixation with the bog standard 4-4-2, and an attacking midfielder doesnt really fit into that too well.
Views from today...
We will continue to concede too many goals with that defence, far too easy for teams to pass their way through to score. Teams will target the lack of mobility.
Hopper did really well winning headers today but needs someone to be gambling on the flick ons which is where McCoulsky should be.
How many times do we dominate the first 20 minutes but don’t convert chances. We have a goal scoring player in McCoulsky who will convert more chances then anyone else and needs to be on the pitch at the start to do so. He looks to be a player that could get 20 goals with a run in the team.
Bunn, mantom, dieng, hopper and Coker did well today.
Got to change the personnel
It is tough with Turner as he has many very good parts to his game; I am not convinced he is 100% fit or injury free. And he maybe needs to adapt to getting a little slower etc in that small margins of weakness/slowing down etc have left him a fraction physically behind the play but mentally on top of it still. For example; Last season he would not have been pushed off the ball (for Charlton's goal) and could/ought he now to be thinking more on the Pat Scully defending with wallop to row X if there is a big chance of being caught out?16 goals conceeded in 9 first team games. Only two cleans sheets. On the other side, 14 goals scored in 9 and only failed to score in one game. I am not worried about the forward line, the back five is too weak, I know you defend as a team, but the Posh goals all came down the middle, either by dead ball or rmoving attack. I am sorry, Turner needs to take a rest while we blood Taylor Moore.
