Not going to hammer anyone after one result (especially in preseason), but after thinking we looked miles off it beating Daventry, this reinforces my opinion it's going to be a tough couple of weeks.

Such a young team with not much depth, we already need Fossen to be the second coming.

Think my ...

Why not just relegate 4 teams from each division at step 2, then winners and playoff winners from step 3 go up?

Hate these inter-divisional playoffs!

Made the short trip down the road to watch the game, was really impressed with what I saw from the young diamonds. Didn't see a lot from Posh but diamonds were organised, disciplined and deserved the win. Perhaps they can have a word with the first team about holding a 1-0 lead (Sorry, too soon ...

Was having a look at Bet365 and noticed the following:

St Ives 5/4
Draw 11/4
Diamonds 6/4

Diamonds are evens to get promoted on the day.

Personally will be nervous/excited enough without the added pressure of money on the game.

Disappointing loss, especially with Dolman set to miss games. Hopefully we'll see a big reaction on Wednesday!

I think it would've been different if Harris had been at right-back for both games. He would've picked up the attacker at the back post for at least one of the two goals. But that's not to just blame Wilkinson for the defeat.



Think Harris must be carrying some sort of knock to not get on ...

Pretty sure we're still undefeated.

Definitely should have won today, but as I say we remain unbeaten. The sooner we get our first win (Tuesday night) the better so we can really kick start our season.

Gonna go for a 2-0 win (Spriggs, Lorraine), in front of 515.
