Strange substitutions, little composure on the ball. Let's hope they can hold on.

Snowflake Royal Absolutely disgraceful attempt to play for 1-0 from the 50th minute. oxf*rd moronic.

They'd been all over us and millimeters from scoring three or four times.

I can't believe how stupid the management of this game has been.

Did someone get Liam Moore in to coach the defence?

All game it's been slow, out of position and desperate lunges to make last ditch blocks hoping it'll be enough.

I think our players have the collective IQ of a glass of water.

What the oxf*rd was that challenge from Abrefa

Thank oxf*rd we don't have to play this lot again.

They've certainly got our number. Thoroughly undeserved point.

Thought that looked like a foul on Garcia at the end. But other than that, a very lucky point.

It's a points business and that is a good point.

7 from 9, can't argue.

Yep, he looks better with the ball than without it. Not the best combination for a centre back in team that is under pressure.

I refuse to believe he's not capable at this level. He played regularly for a Steve Evans Stevenage team who finished 8th, where he would have needed to do a lot of old school CB play. He looks decent on the ball having come through the Man City academy. That he looked so bad says as much about thr state of the team at the time and I'm open minded about how he'll do this time.

That was two seasons ago, since he's been tried in the Champ and sent back to L1. And that Stevenage side was very ordinary... it was just physical, organised and had good morale.

He's painfully slow. All gangly long uncoordinated limbs and easily muscled off the ball.

He's a terrible partner for O'Connor.

How are we rating him tonight then? Burns and Pereira probably our best players.

Would have taken a point all day long against that lot, they`re top of the form table for a reason. lucky or not, I`m happy with it.

In a truly dreadful mindless team performance, he made a lot of important challenges, similar to O'Connor and Dorsett.

Clung on there. Terrible management to think standing off and sitting deep for 50 minutes would yield anything other than conceding. Extra moronic considering how weak Peterborough looked in defence, particularly their sketchy keeper - I had him down for making more clangers in the second half, but he was rarely forced into contact with the ball.

Not sure what formation we were playing by the end, or why/where all those subs were made. Baffling stuff.

Wasn’t really following this as was out but sounds like a good/lucky point. Tbh we’ve not played great last 3 games and got 7/9

We just don’t have the players to hold the ball up and release pressure on tbe defence in these kind of games. My biggest issue with the current squad. Need a new striker or two who can do just that

That front 4 that started - seriously so so weak physically. Nothing on the bench to improve it. Have to change it

Window opens in a couple of days, an attacking midfielder should be top of the shopping list along with another striker to take the weight off of Marriott`s shoulders.

Phew.

Table still ridiculously bunched.

Port Vale look detached, and Doncaster and Rotherham are on terrible runs. Who will be the fourth?

Yes, I am still looking behind us.
