Posh Thread

Worthy winners overall. We’ve got the players and the squad and the manager to get us up. Not a shred of doubt.
We did lack composure in the last 20 mins. Possibly tiredness? At times we just ouzed class. Defence were solid enough throughout, Finley and Barlaser have taken centre midfield up a notch..
The only dodgy moments are when Maxted remains rooted between the posts.
 
I saw the red rose coach on route this morning full of expectant Stanley fans dreaming of a good result well wake up your no longer dreaming you have beaten the league leaders on their own turf,
What a result for the club players & fans

Had a purple patch for twenty minutes in the first half playing some great stuff down the right. Should have scored more than one in that period.
Thought Posh were very predictable which shocked me.
Maxted still a worry for me.
Centre backs did really well today.
 
Great result and, overall, a good game. Two pretty evenly matched teams but Stanley deserved the points because they looked like they wanted them more, and they just had that bit more luck going their way.
Stanley played some beautiful football, especially in the first half once they weathered an early onslaught. First time seeing Barlaser, and he is class; start a collection someone and let's keep him for the rest of the season. He and Finlay are a good midfield pairing and give Stanley's forwards some quick and positive service.
Stanley's defence won nearly every high ball today, particularly Ihiekwe who was winning everything in the air, but their 4 giants at the back had their work cut out with Messrs Kee, Zanzala, and Clark buzzing around them.

P.S. However knowledgable that nice Mr.Evans may be about football I really wonder how much respect his players can have for someone in that kind of physical shape. Lucky the ref didn't send him to the stands as I doubt he would have found a seat to accommodate him.
 
Another totally solid team performance. Stanley set their stall out with a positive start, got the goal and then pushed for another before Peterborough gradually worked their way back into the game, with Godden very close to a first-half equaliser. Second-half was extremely tight, Godden again missing the best chance when he found some space on the right-hand side of the box before dragging a shot wide. But Stanley always threatened on the break, and occasionally fashioned a chance with decisive moves that shone for their deceptive simplicity, just pass and move sequences, but executed so precisely that they cut Posh wide open.

I agree with Exile that the combination of Barlaser and Finlay adds just that bit of attacking nous, they play with their heads up and with a keen sense for the spaces that Jordan, Billy and Offi can run into. MOTM difficult to call, Ihiekwe was excellent throughout, but I thought Callum did particularly well against some tricky customers - Dembele in the first-half and then Toney in the second.

But to reiterate - this Stanley side is absolutely a collective endeavour. No passengers or superstars, they earn every point as a unit. Very proud of the lads tonight.

Just early morning drowsiness ABM! ! 🤔... We were definitely not dreaming of a win.. all upbeat and predicting the best result !
It was great to share that optimism which is no longer based on hope but a positivity born from previous games !... and Stanley were better than The Posh... just !.😎

AND ANOTHER CLEAN SHEET !!.

ON STANLEY ON !..TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !!
 
Zanzala pleased with his performances over the last 4 games the lad runs down every ball and takes some of the heat off billy even if not scoring, in his early games I didn't think that much of his performances but I'm glad to be proved wrong
