Another long trip only to be left disappointed once again. First half Town were truly dire and it came as no surprise to see us go a goal down. As soon as Tomlin waltzed through our bemused defence I knew a goal was forthcoming. Henderson doesn't inspire confidence and is not one to pull off saves that keep us in a game; true to form he conceded. Our fragile confidence was again quite evident as passes went astray time after time; with Reo-Coker being the worst offender. We created nothing and there was little passion, fluency or bite about our play.

Thankfully, Town were much better in the second half with a few players at last showing a bit of resolve, effort and desire. The equaliser was deserved on the balance of play; after which both sides had opportunities to win the game. Henderson redeemed himself somewhat by pulling off a couple of decent saves (something I would expect from a keeper!), Orr and Higgingbottom grew in stature and confidence as the game went on; Edwards and Martin both worked hard on their respective wings and put in a number of crosses; in the middle N'Daw put himself about a bit but lacked quality whilst Reo-Coker continued to contribute silch (he still appears unfit, slow and disinterested); up front DJ and Chopra worked hard but had very few opportunities.

On the face of it the Town players man for man appear to be far better than the Posh players but confidence (the lack of it in our case) is a great leveler; bottom line is that Posh were more confident and more up for it than us. That having said, a draw was probably a fair result.

In closing I would add that I've now seen Reo-Coker three times and three times he has played very poorly indeed. I was really chuffed with his signing but so far he has not cut the mustard and we're carrying him. I cannot recall a single incisive pass into space that has lead to a goal scoring chance; all too often he has not get stuck in to a tackle; his first touch and ball control has often been poor allowing the opposition to steal the ball from him; he appears slow and unfit; but he's the first to mouth off at others! Personally, I would 'rest' him and play Hyam against Forest (injury may hopefully force this anyway). I would also play Loach ahead of Henderson every time!
