Why on earth are we being toxic about players who objectively played well? I'd understand if Wintle had a bad game, but he was excellent today.
And yes, Wintle was on loan because he fell out with Bulut over playstyle differences. Take the L on this one, Gunman. I say this as someone who finds Wintle wildly inconsistent.
He played really well today. I don't dispute that, let's hope he carries on. He was in the conversation for MOMQuote:

I'm disappointed in how the 3 amigos have got us here, how they have largely neglected the running of the club but on reflection today was a good day. There is plenty there to build on.
Even thought second half we got stuck in and showed some grit to see out the win when certainly last season that wouldn't have happened.
Lot of positives to take. This season was never going to be HMS piss the league.

“Brent is a special man. He was always there, always a warm presence and was always kind to everybody.
"We got the shirt today and that win was for Brent and his family. It was his funeral yesterday, and may he forever rest in peace.”
That was something separate, but still cool. I saw it being spread on some other places it was for a lad who took his own life called Cai Davies.Quote:

Like this a lot. Long time since we had a manager with strong principles, discipline and consequences.Quote:

It's a discussion. Kpacio looks a talent who could possibly be a future PL player. However its just been pointed out he made some mistakes near the end. (I think including losing the ball which led to that good save from Turner)
We also despite some attractive football wasted some good positions particularly between J Colwill and Tanner 1st half ( I think overall both can be pleased with their performances)
Rubin despite clearly being the best player on the pitch really should have put us 1 up and I think should have scored 2nd half as well.
Robinson definitely should have done far better 2nd half.
We've got to be really pleased with that display especially for a 1st game of the season. I thought we looked better than Luton.
The big worry for me was central defence. However I think Lawlor is far better than that and he put himself under pressure with that silly challenge for his 1st booking.
I still think to challenge we need reinforcements particularly a dominant CB but this board seem to think we can do it on the cheap.
I wonder what he did? Late for training, team meeting?Quote:

Kpakio did really well, especially as he's still a teenager, only been 18 for a few months. It's easy to see why they think he has a very high ceiling.
the incident towards the end was frustrating, he initially showed really good pace and strength to win the ball from the Peterborough player, he then had about 3 or 4 separate opportunities to knock it out of play, or hoof it up the line but didn't take them, just kept trying to beat the players. that could very easily have cost us 2 points, but he will learn from it.
he supported Tanner very well in attack, I would have liked to have seen him using his pace to overlap tanner and whip a cross on, but the fullbacks never seemed to do that - that must have been an instruction from the coaching staff.
Bagan on the other side was solid and dependable, but pretty limited as an attacking option- I like him as a player, but everything he does with the ball is so telegraphed.
he was good in the second half, I don't remember him doing much IQuote:
