The lad who scored the pen has been at Peterborough since he was a kid.And to think they got a decent wedge of cash from us and replaced him with that decent lad who scored the pen tonight, must be pissing themselves
It’s a hard watch. Husband and Connolly both shocking.The whole midfield seemed to go missing tonight, and don't get me started on Husbands distribution. Every pass went straight to their defenders.
At least they didn't say orange.Just for balance though..from the Posh Forum last Saturday.
"Unfortunately the best captain we have had for several years had a tangerine shirt on today."
System.What’s gone wrong with Norburn?
He was a Fantastic signing but he’s gone down hill at an alarming rate.
Talking of going downhill Where’s Lyons these days? he’s light years ahead of some of these starting tonight.
In Critchley we trust.
Has to be.System.
Not been impressed since his opening few games really. He's been too slow and hesitant and first thought often backwards.Worst choice of captain since MugDonald thought it would be a good idea to give the captaincy to David Ferguson
He needs a playmaker alongside him...Norburn takes a bit of a battering off some but I think he's fine for what his role is. He won it back a few times today and yeh granted he plays safe but it's not his fault that the defender then lumps it forward rather than jeeping the ball again. I think he's as much of a victim of this team/formation/tactics as anyone else
Well that’s just bollocks because when we went up the midfield was probably the best in L1We haven't had a decent midfield since before Sadler took over, the fact it has never been sorted out is unforgivable.
You can’t really single out Husband. Connolly, Gabriel, Coulson all just as badThe whole midfield seemed to go missing tonight, and don't get me started on Husbands distribution. Every pass went straight to their defenders.
We had an injury prone Stewart an injury prone Anderson and Kenny, we then had Embleton on loan who was okay, Certain;y not the best midfield in league 1, not by a long way.Well that’s just bollocks because when we went up the midfield was probably the best in L1
Well we finished 3rd, and won the playoffs comfortably. Can’t have been that bad.We had an injury prone Stewart an injury prone Anderson and Kenny, we then had Embleton on loan who was okay, Certain;y not the best midfield in league 1, not by a long way.
It was the best we have had, Stewart was a really high class player but never really featured again, we have never had that quality creative goalscoring midfielder, I don't count Dembele as a midfielderWell we finished 3rd, and won the playoffs comfortably. Can’t have been that bad.
Husband is more left footed than a right leg amputee, and slower.The whole midfield seemed to go missing tonight, and don't get me started on Husbands distribution. Every pass went straight to their defenders.
Norburn sucks the life out of all the players around him. Marv took a lot of stick early on in the season, when I think Norburn was putting him (and other defenders) under pressure. When Dougs played alongside him, Dougs made him look reasonable. Every other player in the midfield has to compensate for him, he's always at the periphery of the action, doesn't really tackle, rarely intercepts, his passing is woeful, and is rarely in a position to accept a pass from other players or (even worse) is demanding the ball when he's already man on. I cannot see how Critchley or any of the coaching or scouting staff could possibly identify him as a good player, particularly in the anchor midfield role when we already had one of, if not the best in the division at doing the midfield anchor role.More to the point. What's happened to Morgan for the last few games. He was playing really well and starting to find his feet. But whenever he plays with Norburn it is as though he sucks all the attacking intent out of him. How he is captain when he never ever gees players up or gets into the refs ear or inspires others is beyond me. Yet Critchley picks him whenever he is fit because he does little backwards and sideways passes which looks good on the stats.
We have the players.......We haven't had a decent midfield since before Sadler took over, the fact it has never been sorted out is unforgivable.
Please give warning to the West Stand. Some would not be able to cope with the shock.Norburn may go radical on Saturday and try a forward pass. I for one would be out of my seat
I agree with you. I think most of the problems come from his total and utter lack of mobility. He can't run! Scared to take a risky pass because if it gets intercepted he will never get back and so on. He clearly did have some sort of pedigree so can only really think the cruciate injury that kept him out for one year in 2022/23 was really a bad one.He's so limited, how he made it into the professional game is beyond me.
Slow, one footed, can't tackle properly, incapable of any creative passing and in terms of captaining the side fails to organise and motivate his teammates. In summary, an awful signing.
I'm surprised he passed a medical.I agree with you. I think most of the problems come from his total and utter lack of mobility. He can't run!

I think Husband thinks he’s better than he is. His distribution a lot of the time is appallingHusband is more left footed than a right leg amputee, and slower.
Not by a long way? Agenda alert....We had an injury prone Stewart an injury prone Anderson and Kenny, we then had Embleton on loan who was okay, Certain;y not the best midfield in league 1, not by a long way.
Stewart Dougall and Embleton were the best we have had since whenever, but we have always lacker that really killer player. We were the best side in that division for the last 30 games and deserved to go up automatically. I have no idea what has happened to Critchley since, maybe CC was a massive reason for it because Critchley is absolutely bobbins now.Not by a long way? Agenda alert....
They were all Championship standard players. You're talking cack again.Stewart Dougall and Embleton were the best we have had since whenever, but we have always lacker that really killer player.

I haven't mentioned the Championship, why are my posts being misinterpreted tonight, it's ** weirdThey were all Championship standard players. You're talking cack again.
There's no misinterpretation. They were playing in L1, too good for that level.I haven't mentioned the Championship, why are my posts being misinterpreted tonight, it's ** weird
Good player; wrong team.Worst choice of captain since MugDonald thought it would be a good idea to give the captaincy to David Ferguson
Critch's one saving grace is his 'coaching' .. that's gone well this season!!What’s gone wrong with Norburn?
He was a Fantastic signing but he’s gone down hill at an alarming rate.
Talking of going downhill Where’s Lyons these days? he’s light years ahead of some of these starting tonight.
In Critchley we trust.
He's certainly not a WellensWorst choice of captain since MugDonald thought it would be a good idea to give the captaincy to David Ferguson
Lets see him with Byers alongside.Good player; wrong team.
