Peterborough United fans spot the difference in intensity, tempo, aggression, and praise FBT, JCH and others, co-owner happy with the win and performance in the last home game without fans (hopefully)!
A single goal from top scorer Jonson Clarke-Harris was enough to beat Plymouth, but the 1-0 final scoreline did not do justice to a dominant display from the team in second place in League One.
We asked fans what made the difference last night and to nominate a man-of-the-match. All replies to @PTAlanSwann on Twitter.

Hide AdA dominant and controlled win. Importantly in the last home game without fans (subject to Boris changing his mind). I’ve so missed games without a crowd and I am excited for Tuesday 8th December.

Thought Kent and Beevers magnificent Swanny. Taylor a class act and front 3 played closer together which helped cause more problems. All round energy and tempo better though compared to the previous 2 matches.
@MattStevenson11
Great to see Blake-Tracy playing again. Over time he will prove to be a really good signing considering his limited Football League experience. Difference tonight was a very poor opponent and playing the ball forward quicker (when on the deck). Kent or Beevers MOM.
@Sweeney95Alex
We were better tonight. Let’s hope the blip is over.
@Mgdservices1972
1. Quicker and more positive. 2. Narrower front three much better. 3. Broom looked like natural first team player and stepped in well. 4.Szmodics v good player, but still lacking confidence. Too many misplaced passes so lucky not to give up even more chances MoM Broom or Kent.

@fjsteward
The differences: intensity, pressing & work rate out of possession, better ball speed, width higher up pitch with wing-backs playing forward quicker, getting players around ball to support JCH, won midfield battle & lots of secondnd balls first half, having a left footed left centre-back. MOM Taylor or Dembele.
@ReportPosh
Thought our pressing and movement were brilliant in the first-half. Second-half was very nervy and my man of match either Beevers or Blake-Tracy. I like our movement in midfield with Broom and Szomodics playing in Clarke-Harris.
@bumblesixteen
Slick, purposeful first-half, mediocre second-half, but the stats say we’re second in the league. I’ll take that MOM Frankie Kent/

Hide AdBlake-Tracy and Kent bringing the ball out of defence, plus not having JCH isolated made a big difference. If Szmodics can get a goal it would move us up a level.
@Dave_Adcock
Lots of energy in our pressing. Better individual performances contributed to an overall improvement. Finishing still poor, should have been a rout.
@DANPUFC1988
Difference was Fergie tweaking his formation as it allowed Dembele & Szmodics to get close to JCH so he was actually effective. MOM for me was Mark Beevers, dealt with everything in the air and very composed with the ball at his feet.
@juppy95
Having Blake-Tracy playing gave back three natural balance. Taylor MOM.
