The return of the Siriki

[HantsPosh]

Assuming Bournemouth don't use the covid card or storm damage or players out on loan or any other excuse to get another home game postponed. Dembele is still out 'injured' with his foot 'injury' isn't he so surely won't be able to play or has he recovered just like Norburn's 'dead leg' cleared up after 11pm Jan 31?

[Brianposh]

He played all 90 minutes in their last game. Not worth worrying about though as we have better players.

[BanburyPosh]

The return of the Siriki

Not sure about that. Surely wouldn’t part of the transfer deal be a stipulation that he doesn’t play against us!!!

[bristleposh]

I doubt it he’s their player

This generally only applies to a players who is on loan.

[Steamy Nin]

So much better without the lacklustre loanee's, well played Posh. Ward, Edwards, Fuchs, Kent and Burrows all very impressive.

[Narrowboat Dave]

I didn’t see that result coming!

So much better without the lacklustre loanee’s

I hadn’t spotted that, we didn’t use any, and only had one on the bench, all the players you mention did well, as did Marriott scoring, and Norburn, nice to see Jack back and Joe getting five minutes and possibly one touch. Send them all back, get Pym back and play our own layers is the right choice.

Pym, Kanu, Tomlinson and Ryan Broom all out on loan. Can this, plus tonight's players, be good enough for an assault on League One?

Absobloominlutely

[Brianposh]

Well played Posh. I JUST KNEW this was going to be a different game to the recent past. Dembele was tackled in the first minute and he got straight up, not sat and pulled his socks up.

A superb performance!

Not sure it is fair to blame the loanee's for the previous sh*t, generally it was going long before they arrived. Equally it is too early to start bigging up our chances next season using those currently out on loan. Whose to say that Pym or Broom have any wish to return?

The message I am getting from this is that McCann might be the right appointment afterall, but that DMac was clearly wrong in his refusal to decouple from Fergie much earlier. Tippy-tappy "back pass, back pass, back pass, keeper hoof it into touch" was clearly not working pre-Christmas.

They're contracted to Posh and have no choice to return.

Even JC-H put a shift in last night and looked a lot better than he has for a while, Norburn was his usual anonymous self. Fuchs works really hard and breaks up play a lot and thought Ward was probably Man on of the Match for us (or player of the match as we have to say now!!). Marriott finished well and hopefully he can stay fit and scoring for the rest of the season. Nice to see Jack Taylor back & also see the other J Taylor get some minutes at the end.

I do like Bournemouth's ground, it's small enough to feel like you're right up close to the action and has a good atmosphere despite the small capacity. The fact that it's an hour from stadium seat to front door helps as well
