Or at least we do now after playing two away games there in the past two weeks and losing them both. I thought perhaps we might have a good chance against both these teams after we beat both at home without conceding but after a laboured win on Tuesday night against bottom of the league Crewe we decided to give our worst performance of the season against Huddersfield.

It's been a while coming but Gaby Zakuani has finally had a bad game in a Posh shirt. Having just watched the replay of it on TV he is out of position for the goal allowing their striker through on goal where there was no way he could have missed. Unless you're Craig Mackail-Smith there is no way any decent striker could miss, even though he has 19 goals this season he still managed to not put away two one on one's which by my count makes about 15 he hasn't scored when he should have now. He's good but he could be even better which is very frustrating.



Hopefully Fergie gave them a bollocking at half time because they needed it, I think we has about one shot by half time which just isn't good enough. We came out a little stronger after half time with a slightly different formation. We finally managed to get a few shots on goal but I don't think there was really any point in the half where their goalie was felt truly threatened, we again lacked killer instinct which is a problem I thought we had cured last season.

On the break Huddersfield were very good causing us plenty of problems and probably should have scored more goals than they did. Danny Cadamarteri was their standout player, I didn't even realise he was still playing, he dropped right off the radar after leaving Everton.



The only plus point of the day was that the Galpharm Stadium is probably the best stadium I've been too all season. Unlike most modern stadiums it actually has a bit of flair too it instead of just being a generic bowl like the Walkers Stadium or Stadium:MK. I hope that during the design process for our new stadium the architects take a good luck at the Galpharm because I'd be delighted to be playing in that every week.
