Harps – 8
Simpson – 9
S. Taylor – 7
Colo – 8
Enrique – 9
Guthrie – 7
Smith – 7
Nolan – 7
Jonas – 9
Harewood – 7
Carroll – 8

R. Taylor – 7
Ranger – 8
McLoven – 6

Man of the Match: Danny Simpson who was absolutely outstanding, as was Enrique, but the Philippe Lahm-esque goal did it for me.

Just a shame we took our foot off the gas for the last 20 mins of each half.

Don’t think Smithy had to break sweat to be honest, as they were that poor. The defence didn’t have much to do either, although Peterborough did get 3 gilt edged chances that they should have scored. Guthrie was average and Ryan Taylor had a pretty poor game for once, his passing was awful. Harewood is just not a footballer, no control and no intelligence, Ranger did more in 5 minutes than Harewood did all game.

Good performance – a fair score would have been 6-2! Excellent performances from Smith, Enrique, Harper, Coloccini, also very good from Carroll, STaylor, Simpson, Guthrie, Nolan and Ryan Taylor. Guti was brill before he had to go off and was unlucky not to score earlier and Ranger was excellent in his late cameo. Even Harewood flung himself into some decent challenges for once. However, the team was well on top for most of the game apart from 10 minutes in the 2nd half when Harper had to be superb, and actually tried to play football instead of hoofing it up. Some credit to CH for going with 2 strikers – though wish it had been Nile instead of Marlon.
Some good news perhaps? One website says Jonas had a dead leg – so that should soon recover.

Shame about the n0-show on Spidey mask but fantastic to be 6 points clear of 3rd. Maybe we’ll be having a party in May after all!!

Sorry to nit-pick, but Leicester left Filbert St (which is now being developed for housing I think) years ago.

And yes, Guttierez isn’t allowed to don his mask. Something to do with copyright issues I think (silly I know).

Been to the match…very disappointed with Harewood again……very poor first touch and slow to react…..he does try to chase balls down , but the play seems to breakdown a lot when it goes to him….

Would honestly prefer Ranger to start with Carroll.

Until Gutierrez went off we were very good….then we lacked a bit of creativity.

No matter what anyone says, we are a far better team with Gutierrez, as we have very little creativity and pace without him……he may be frustrating at times, but he can cause chaos in the opposition defence. I can see why Maradona picks him….with good players around him to make use of the space created it could be very effective……I think that’s one of our main problems, we expect great crosses, but he runs into the box and is looking to play lay-offs that we are not that well equiped to take advantage of.

Anyway, hope he’s not too badly injured.

I see another 43K Ashlet supporters watched this top of the leauge encounter.

The fact that you protest and then get your cash put and give it to the man you allegedly hate just makes me laugh. It like striking during your lunch break – pointless and there is no impact to teh business
