We would have been able to keep them out at all. Would have conceded and conceded more.
As usual a complete over reaction to one game after a decent performance (which we also wouldn’t have come back from last season).
Can we give them a few games before we completely discount them?

Disagree on the over reaction, we where unrecognisable to peterborough game over run for 96 Minutes, you had to be there as I was on the terraces it was an awful display, 1 shot on goal from us murphy got it wrong no press sat off them set up defensive,
chambers wrong choice as a centre back slowed it down passing back to the keeper and across the back constantly and the tactics never changed in the 2nd half from murphy.

Scraped past Peterborough? That's not how the game went.
But people are using Thursday to try and re-write the Peterborough game too.
It's all great.

Agree. So many BBM tinted glasses for the game.

They are making him some sort of great manager already just like they did with Omer Riza:
I will judge him after 10-12 games
But he knew he had no money before he took the job.
But keeps saying he is bringing in Quality players???

You correct.
Some have him as a messiah and savior before a game kicked off. We have to see but as it stands I’m not convinced anything has changed. But it is early days.

I’d be shocked if Peterborough were down the bottom. Their history in this league doesn’t indicate they will.

I agree that we can’t call him the messiah after 2 games but (even though there were weaknesses on Thursday that need addressing) neither can we say he’s clueless after 2 games. You’re right to judge after 10-12 games imo.

Scraped past Peterborough? That's not how the game went.

We had one good 45 minutes. If anything people are trying to rewrite the Peterborough game as if we wiped the floor with them when we didn’t.

We were also the better team 1st half and didn't deserve to be losing

Correct.
Thursday wasn't a good performance, we all know that.
But the continuing overreaction to it for three days now is a bit mind boggling. Would understand it if there were a few consecutive performances like that with this new manager, but it's one game.
I'm sure we'll get back on track against Rotherham and some who have been jumping all over the Vale game will go back into their shells for a bit.
The manager said "we didn't play well enough but it's no major drama for me at this stage" - I agree with that.

True, I thought at the time it should have stood. I know some have said it was offside when you look at it closer but the feeling at the time was it should have stood - but it didn't. Likewise, Bagan could have been sent off (some refs would have for that challenge) - but he wasn't.
That's missing the point though.
The point is that the players put their bodies on the line to preserve a point, during what was otherwise a bad performance - that's different to last season, I agree with the OP on that.
That's how I read the post anyway.

Exactly what I meant.
There were a number of blocks at the end to keep that point which showed me the players care.
