Another point - finishers are people who put away chances. Whereas they were just shooting from outside the box.

I think most of the time we were in this division over the past decade we had the same problem. Tried to play some good stuff at times but never quite had the cutting edge to put our chances away (especially through that awful time when Zamora was injured) and consequently we'd come away from games saying: "If only Marney/Webb/McPhee/Knight etc had a bit more about them we'd have got something out of that game." Now the boot's on the other foot and we are in the odd position of not playing particularly well but being able to grind out a result in the Championship. I didn't think CMS played that well although I also thought he made a lot of intelligent runs and just didn't get the ball because we were hanging on to it for too long and over elaborating. Not to worry - it's a nice change to watch a good team win while being a little bit off the boil rather than watching a struggling team play well but come away with nothing.
On the report itself - looks (and reads) more like it was written by a fan than a journalist. All our passing game seemed to annoy him - he's probably still trying to work out why England haven't won a major football tournament for almost half a century.

Silly old bat
Both of our goals came from outside the box (stating the obvious)
Report mirrors what a group of P'boro supporters were saying after the match, "We were robbed" "Awful ref favouring Brighton; dirty time wasters" "Shit stadium"
Ah well. Such is life.

The funniest part of the report...
There was nothing alleged about it. It looked like he'd been shot by a sniper from the East stand the way he went down.

So basically, Peterborough were disappointed to lose in a game where Brighton were far from their best but still did enough to win? I can understand that.
We weren't at our best but we won. I am happy. Peterborough fans are not. I can live with this.

Why can't away fans who get beat just understand we do what we need to to win? We looked bloody good before we scored then as usual eased off.
Obviously I'd love to see us keep playing the same way throughout but Gus is a winner and he's got the team set up to win, not just entertain.
Quite clearly if Nooney didn't score so early there's no way they would have had as much if the game as they did!

Wouldn't you just so much rather be playing at London Road than the Amex...?!
What is odd about it - the sloping roofs at the two ends? (but even this isn't unique, eg Pride Park). I'm glad it's got a bit of character and isn't just another anonymous bowl like St Mary's or wherever...

The report is so credible, the writer doesn't even put his name to it.

They can write what the hell they want as all the petty digs in the world won't get them back the 3 points we took off them
Who cares what other clubs think of our style or stadium we love it and are top of the league

Only difference between that and the arsegas is the biased bit
we could do with an Albion supporting journo covering Albion games imho

Football is full of them, we even have some of our own
True , very true but pre this season (bar Peterborough) it didn't seem as bad , maybe it's due to us being back in the limelight again?

You need to understand that the Peterborough Evening Telegraph is probably read by hundreds. It really gives us a bad name which is why none of the locals buy it.
The other fact is that if you use any kind of negative posh language will mean you get no club comments for years. I know a lot of posh fans up here and the majority of them think we are are the up, ie: we do not play FLD1 or championship type football which they are used too. Its a little bit of jealousy mixed in with bad journalism and an inbred mentality.
