Some optimism now. We all know Phil from his extravert antics at Hull, providing a lot of entertainment; singing to the crowd, keeping the players on the pitch at half-time. He did a good job there, although they seemed to have some money.\u00a0 Football is about entertainment\u00a0so\u00a0bring it on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not long ago there was Billy Davies who surprised us all but wanted money and left, then Paul Simpson who seemed OK at first but\u00a0was perhaps coasting on Billy Davies’s team till it fell apart, \u00a0Alan Irvine who was a nice guy and did well at first but then hit a very lean spell, Darren Ferguson who had two good seasons at Peterborough but his team had struggled in the Championship.\u00a0\u00a0 Yesterday someone quoted that Bill Shankly said a football team is 3 great players supported by the rest, or something like that. So have PNE got 3 great players: Lonergan, St Ledger and ……..\u00a0\u00a0 Shame about Alexander, McKenna, Wallace leaving, who sold them?<\/p>\n
Now with 19 points from 24 games and needing 8 points to get 1 point\u00a0out of the relegation zone it is a mountain to climb.\u00a0 Phil has a\u00a0practise game against Notts Forest in the cup then a week\u00a0later it’s Leicester at Deepdale.\u00a0 If PNE can score some goals it isn’t beyond hope they can\u00a0get 9 points from the next 4 games and they’d then be in the middle of the scrap and able to claw their way out. Scoring has seemed difficult lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
