When he signed here I'm sure many of us were impressed with the signing and
expected more? Hope he can prove his point. Sure he scored a few weeks ago?

I'm pleased he wants to improve on his performances so far. He needs to. Against Stockport he held and carried the ball well but his passing was shocking. While he provided a bit of pace that we were lacking against Accy it's not much use if you give the ball away so frequently. The real threat attacking the box came from Duffs and Lawrence who both had great games.

I hope Chris does improve for Sammy's sake. Along with Scott, Rundle, Capaldi and the re-signing of Neil Wainright a lot of players performances have been underwhelming to say the least.

Neil Wainwright hasn't been given a look in this season to be fair.

1 substitute appearance so far, I think ?

Sorry I should have said it's no reflection on Neil. It's just that if he wasn't going to play him, why sign him?

Neil has played over 50 league games for us.

I agree entirely Posh, and I wish Sammy WOULD play Neil as I think he is a great asset.

Spent a month on loan at Barra' again, but how frustrating must this season be for Neil now ?

I think Wainright's been unlucky this season with his injury. He started the season injured at the same time Duffy was clearly our best player. He came back and was loaned to Barrow to get some matches but since then we've begun to chop and change our system on a weekly basis and even Duffy (IMO up there with Parrish this season as the most improved player) has struggled to get on in recent weeks.

I mentioned the squad balance in another post but again this is an issue here. We have 3 right wingers and 1 left but often play with wing backs or Brown on the left instead. I really can't see him coming back and making an impact as much as I'd like to see him do that.
