Good work out against a good footballing side.
Very positive.
Re enforced my opinion that Ring is not good enough 🙁

What was wrong with his performance if you don’t mind me asking?

Have to say we looked better at the back when Hewitt dropped into right back and Hendrie took up the left back spot...was really hoping Ring would come good but I really am having my doubts about him now...

I thought Ring had a decent enough game, he played left back with no winger in front to help him. Also agree with the others that said Hewitt looked better at RB.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

I've been a critic of Ring but don't think he really put a foot wrong today! Hewitt certainly looked more comfortable at full-back however and Hendrie was fine on a the left, though it's not ideal. As Davis can play right-back, perhaps we'll not be looking for another full-back? Two players for each side already in the squad.

According to the Peterborough Telegraph, Town gave Posh a '' physical battering'' and feature a photo of Mattie Pollock getting to grips with Ivan Toney. Ref could have doled out 3 yellows to Posh in the first half alone LOL!

Well, they certainly fell over a lot under little or no challenge yet were happy to foul us any time we got past them. To claim a 'physical battering' is nonsense. I'd imagine the report was written by somebody who didn't go to the game! I'd guess they committed more fouls than we did (perhaps only if you ignore the ones where they 'won' a free-kick for falling over).

Good to hear we’re more physical this season. We’ve been far too nice fore the past few years.

Fairly impressed yesterday and left the ground happy with what I saw . Positive play going forward and created plenty of chances against a decent team . If Peterborough’s goalkeeper hadn’t played so well we’d have scored at least 2 .
New signings looked good and we’ll def be a handful up front with Hanson and green. Rose looks like he’s really come on and will probably make the 3rd place his own on that performance.
Pollock looks a unit and didn’t look worried about their expensive strike force . Another youngster who could be a regular if he’s given the chance .

I've slagged Rose off a lot recently, but will give him credit where its deserved, he's had a decent pre-season.
Saturday, he was fantastic... still a bit raw, and some rash decisions, but he's a young lad, so I don't mind that.

Pollock reminds me of Pearson in a way, he's slow, but makes up for it with his intelligent 'football brain'
Loved it when Dembele did him for pace easily, then cut his run and got the ball, and clattered him big time, a proper old school tackle.

Hanson will get 5-10 assists, and set up even more goals without directly getting the assist, if he stays fit, he's a great player.

Hewitt can stay just for his crossing if Peterborough game is anything to go by

I'd agree that Rose looks greatly improved compared to his fleeting appearances last season. Back then, he didn't really seem to know where he should be standing or what he should be doing most of the time. In the two pre-season games I've seen so far, his positioning and movement have been much improved. I doubt he'll be a starter if everyone is fit, but a good option to have on the bench, especially against tiring defenders.

One area where he still needs to work is the defensive side of things. I'm not saying he should be running up and down the line tackling anything that moves, but he can learn how to press the ball better without committing himself and taking himself out of the game.
