Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Given that Rovers utter incompetence has almost certainly cost Peterborough hundreds of thousands of £s in a transfer fee I’d be absolutely fuming if I was McAnthony. Personally I would insist that a fit JCH starts every game in an attempt to at least get goals out of him until January and hopefully drum up Interest from proper football clubs who don’t **** up everything they touch. Leaving him out for this one would make POSH look incredibly weak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventeen Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Barton is just blaming anyone but himself. Biggest budget in our history. Been allowed to chop and change the back room team as he sees fit. Players he’s had on loan who he’s wanted (Taylor included!!) he has come out and said aren’t good enough. If a player says they're unfit then why the hell are you starting them in the second half!! How he can talk about being infuriated at players letting the team down after his own career is astonishing!!!
