Sat 1st/Sun 2nd February fixtures

I haven't seen the forward's (Smith?) challenge on the keeper back but right there, at the time, it really looked as though he did that deliberately. He went to stop then thought "Im having him". I was a forward, I know about leaving a sly one on the keeper when they're diving at your feet. This was more than that. Honest opinion.

When I first posted I didn't know about the foul for your winner as I'm about as far away from that as possible to be. It was a foul but a bit hard for the ref to see. A team like Wrexham, top of the table, sometimes gets them, sometimes not. A team like Crawley, at the bottom of the league, always has them go against.

McClean was actually funny. If you get grief from the crowd give it back. Nothing out of order from where I was.

Lovely goal for our equaliser! That's what we should be talking about.

Yeah I didn't think there was much wrong with Smiths challenge on the Keeper. Both entitled to go for that ball. In general I was quite impressed with your keeper. The fact you almost got the point (and possibly deserved to) was largely down to him I thought.

Definitely a foul be Lee before the winner. We got lucky there (and as you say those things rarely seem to go the way of the team scrapping for points) and in general we didn't play well- particularly in the second half. We've been like that for weeks now. Thankfully still picking up points which is masking it somewhat.

I didn't think Crawley looked a bad side, just had nothing up top. With Smith and Rodriguez joining (who did ok considering they only signed on Friday) and then able to bring on Marriott, Fletcher and Lee it shows the difference in squad depth within the league.

As an aside it's funny to see Crawley fans complain that we shouldn't even be in this league and only got where we are due to money. I think some recent history lessons are probably needed.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on that challenge.

The keeper appeared on Tuesday on loan from Brentford. Our normal first choice has disappeared presumed sold. This lad has been on the bench at Brentford and his distribution looks excellent, he also made some decent catches and punches under pressure. He had no chance with either goal.

Definetly odd for Crawley fans to complain about money doping. It was on a different scale though (maybe inflation). We were castigated for outbidding Luton for Tubbs and paying £70k for him and the odium we had for paying Posh £100 for Sergio Torres!

When the sugar daddies come along you you have to enjoy them. One of ours still comes to the games occasionally but he doesn't put money in any more...he did buy that big screen in the corner. I expect to see reruns of Ibrahims goal on there soon.

That goal was class to be fair. I doubt he will hit a better shot in his career- No keeper was saving that. Perfectly placed.

That kid is on loan from Hertha Berlin!

enjoyed my first trip to Crawley, apart from that there was no bar in the ground, what's that about? Looks like a foul by Lee on your centre half so we got a bit lucky there!

WTF, the Gas 2-0 up. Oh Peterborough.

3-0, I hope Peterborough go down.

Well, the Posh fans are talking about it on their forum, obviously a proportion of any fanbase comes out with overreactions to a bad result, but they’re not immune to getting dragged into the scrap if Burton continue their turnaround and Shrewsbury can grind out some results.

How is Butcher doing? I see he got an assist.

He was sublime. Exactly what we’ve missed!

Having a proper CDM has allowed our midfielders to actually play in midfield, instead of badly trying to sit in front of the defence.

That has completely changed our game and allowed us to control the midfield today.

Plus, Peterborough are woeful. Defensively they have to be the worst I’ve seen at this level

He had a nice easy day to be fair but everything he did, he did really well. Plus he setup a goal from a corner which is unheard of here we rarely threaten from set pieces.
