Bolton have been really good and should be running away with this however this has all the feeling of our game last night for as long as it’s only 1-0 they could end up paying for not putting the game to bed.

Not sure how we contrived to lose that. Actually I do, wasted umpteen chances to put the game to bed and then late on switched off twice on long throws. Stevenage are a good side in fairness and can see why they’ve started so well but that one stings a bit losing like that,

Not that the table means a single thing at this point of the season but got the very early pace-setters in Stevenage at home. Always a very difficult opponent for us but if we can maintain the same performance levels as the last five halves of football we have a decent shout. Expecting Moore to...

1630 Vale at Burton. Total crowd 4404.

One of these days it’d be nice if we could keep all eleven on the pitch for 90. That said good performance and third clean sheet on the bounce. Could have nicked it at the end. Burton really didn’t fancy it up against Faal when he came on.

In our league at least Mansfield definitely got the one that really prized in Everton at their new gaff. Pretty jealous of that one.

Birmingham or Sheff Utd away in the 2nd round. Wish we hadn’t fucking bothered last night now.

Won 1-0. Very pleasantly surprised by that as we made 9 changes from the Cardiff game and Blackpool were largely full strength. 1st half was a quasi-friendly but second half we kept growing into the game and in the end looked good value for the win. Blackpool it's clearly teething problems for...

I think it likely will play like that in the end (and we will almost certainly be the second group) but when you have Blackpool and Reading winless so far I’m not sure it’s playing out like that yet. Our last game against Cardiff who are one of the favourites I don’t think we were in any way...

I’m certainly hoping we rotate our squad as much as humanly possible. Got a much more important game away at Burton on Saturday so everyone who needs minutes should get them here. I’m expecting Blackpool to win comfortably anyway, they will undoubtedly have a point to prove after a pretty...

Yeah that from Posh there is going to make a few blooper videos. What the fucking hell were they playing at there :lol:

It was just a load of sideways and backwards with not much action where it matters. You're at least looking to get forward though I think your team needs to be sat down and have the offside law explained to them as they seem to have fell into the trap a lot.

Been flicking between both games. The Peterboroughv v Luton is the more watchable of the two. Reading and Huddersfield passing it well but not much happened.

One fixture down for the week already with us and Cardiff playing out a 0-0 at VP last night. Think we put in a pleasing performance and full value for at least a point and maybe with a bit more luck / composure could have walked away with three points. We certainly dominated the physical battle...

Very talented player. Thought at least during the time he was on loan with us his best performances came playing a deeper midfield role which allowed him to show his full passing range. Not afraid to roll his sleeves up with the more physical side of the game too.

Hopefully though the manager I hope learns that we’re just not equipped to play that 3-4-3 he started with today. Allows us to get overrun in midfield. Got to say the cross on your first goal was an absolute worldy. Couldn’t have played that better in terms of the pace and accuracy of it...

2052 Vale at Rotherham. Total crowd 9883.

Firstly congrats to Rotherham on the win. The very definition of a game of two halves that was. First half 2-0 down getting torn to shreds and down to 10 men feared another 7-0 in South Yorkshire. Made changes at half time and then were outstanding second half and maybe unfortunate not to nick a...

I do think Wimbledon deserve a lot of credit for playing in such a disciplined manner and it was only a very unlucky own goal that cost them a point. Opening day fixtures are notorious for being very disjointed so shouldn’t be a surprise really from Luton’s perspective. Things will look...

I'm always wary of reading too much into the opening day in terms of the season as a whole (apart from the time we got a double-fisting at Barnsley). Tight pitch and a Wimbledon team that know how to set up and stop an opponent don't think it was ever going to be a great spectacle. Onus very...
