Peterborough United fans give the season so far a solid 7/10, they’re very happy with the defence and JCH, but unhappy with the state of the London Road pitch and backwards passing!

3) What has gone badly?

4) Where do you think Posh will finish?

Fans who responded to the PT survey gave Posh a solidaverage of 7.22/10 for the season so far.

The average finishing position prediction was 3.93, so fourth effectively, which would be the highest finishing position since Posh were relegated from the Championship in 2013.

Not one fan predicted Posh would finish as champions and not one fan predicted Posh would finish outside the play-off places.

Of all the Posh players given a positive mention, experienced defender Nathan Thompson topped the poll followed by top scorer Jonson Clarke-Harris and then centre-back Frankie Kent.

The Weston Homes Stadium playing surface received the most negative mentions.

2) JCH has made sure we haven’t missed Toney as much as I thought we would.

3) It would be nice to get a few more goals from midfield.

4) I think we will stay third.

@romysdad

1) 9/10. Losing Toney was always going to be a huge blow. Don’t think we can understate how well Darren Ferguson has turned us into a team rather than a one man show.

2) Taylor, Burrows, Pym, JCH.

3) Szmodics consistency and Dembele to sort his head out or be sold

4) 2nd. Been certain all season.

@poshforever2

1) 7/10.

2) Pym ,Kent, Thompson, Taylor (surprised if he is still here next season).

3) Creativity and back up forward.

4) 5th. Higher if we can do a bit of transfer window magic in the next week.

@Rutlandspinner

1) 7/10 - been good but faltered in stages.

2) Defence has been solid (Thompson and Kent standouts) and JCH filling Ivan’s vacancy competently.

3) Need another striker option/options off the bench lacking.

4) 3rd.

@kelansarson

1) 7.5 out of 10.

2) JCH a real power house, the youngsters coming in have been very impressive, Edwards, Burrows, Hamilton.

3) Need to be more positive, stop the awful habit of looking to get the ball back to Pym when in attacking positions.

4) 3rd.

@poshcricketer

1) 7/10.

2) Nathan Thompson back three or four always better when he plays.

3) Keeping possession, passing and set pieces.

4) 4th.

@RayEllis17

) 7/10, good results, but not many good games - empty stadiums don’t help.

2) Defence impressive, especially Kent and Beevers.

3) Unusually for a Posh team we often don’t look like scoring. JCH has done well, but need more movement up front. Do something about the pitch!

4) 5th.

@Easterlyview

1) 8/10.

2) Taylor imperious. Back 3 defending box well.Burrows improvement. Pym consistent. Desire/fight makes us hard to beat when not at our best.

3) Ball progression through midfield. Sustaining attacking threat. Like to see us press & play on front foot more. The pitch!

4) 4th.
