Peterborough (A) Pre-Match

EASY WIN, I looked at Peterboroughs current form and it's been dreadful.

Did you starting supporting us yesterday or the day before?

I'll just assume you're on a wind-up. Anyone who thinks a game like this is easy has not got a fvcking clue about football.

I half agree but right now Peterborough are playing their worst football of the season, their defence is leaking so many goals, bordering on a crisis. I would be very suprised if we didn't just destory them on Saturday. Check the Posh forums, they expect to lose to us.

Bristol City got one point from 7 matches just before we played them. I hope we win, but I won't be in the least bit surprised if we lose.

It's a shame to think if we lose, everyone will be acting so surprised/shocked.

We can't hack it away at out of form sides, haven't been able to for years and this year we're as bad for it as we've ever been.

Peterborough is not an easy place to go to.

They hammered Ipswich early on in the season, won 4-3 against Cardiff in October (after being 3-2 down) and got all three points against Blackpool and Reading (with a score of 3-1 each).

They tend to play a 3-5-2 and usually score quite a lot of goals at home, the weak point though is the defense who is letting in goals for fun, too.

If anything goes according to plan, a 3-2 to Leicester.

But it won't be easy.

King will be included in the squad to face Posh at London Road, along with Richie Wellens. who Pearson has described as having an outside chance to make his return after a groin injury.

Darius Vassell, who also made his comeback after a lengthy knee injury at Kettering, will not be risked.

Other selection issues for Pearson could depend on illness.

At present, there is a sickness bug going around at City, which has affected several members of the squad, including Wes Morgan, Paul Konchesky and Matt Mills, but all are expected to be well enough to play, if selected.

People talking about how the fact that the teams near us are playing at home tomorrow makes it a must win game are wrong. It isn't a must win game, and it were a must-win game, it wouldn't be because the likes of Cardiff etc are playing home.

Realistically, looking at previous years, 75 points is easily enough to make the play-offs. Typically, it's around 72. It's likely that this year it will be a bit less than that. On that basis we need around 18 points from our remaining 7 games to pretty much guarantee the play-offs.

So, we can lose tomorrow...provided we win all the rest. :thumbup:

But realistically we haVe to play like every game is our cup final, they are all must win if we want to make it.

No more slip UPS let's show this league how its done! I think we will make it, a win Saturday and teams around us playing eacother could lead us to being a point away. Come on you foxes.

Can see goals in this one, Peterborough score & concede for fun.

Predicting a 3-2 win for either side, wouldn't surprise me if Posh won... we just do crap against sides in bottom half

Posted

could do with a win!

Kasper

Peltier Morgan Ledger Konchesky

Marshall Drinkwater Wellens(King/bamba/wellens depending on availability) Dyer

Shlupp Howard

Subs: Bamba, King, Kennerdy, Beckford, Nugent

Changed the strikers as i think Nugent and beck need a rest. Change it early on if shlupp an howard doesnt work

It seems to me that FuriousFox hasn't managed to free himself of his debilitating contempt of all things Posh, to the point that he has become obsessed with making up stories to justify his psychological problem. :whistle:

Last three home games for Posh..

Posh 3 - 1 Blackpool

Posh 3 - 1 Reading

Posh 0 - 2 West Ham

They can be rather dangerous on there own patch, not a nailed on win for the Foxes it seems.

If I'm right then our last 10 games have given us 17 points, which is easily play off form if maintained throughout the season, trouble is we havent but at least we're on the right track now! Our last 4 have have given us 8 points. If we can get 2pts a game from now on in it will be close, but probably not quite good enough. Therefore we need a couple of wins on the bounce, Posh away and Donny at home is that chance, win both and I'll believe, win-draw and we'll just have to hope something special happens in the remaining games. Any other combo, and its probably goodnight playoffs. I respect both teams, but with the players we have we should be beating both of them. I think we'll win tomorrow, a tighter game then many expect, though 2-0 to LCFC is my prediction. Donny are in freefall since losing sharp (havent won since begining of Jan), so anything other than victory against them will be a real shock, even for us!

Peterborough have scored 59, three more than us.

Hardly "scoring for fun" compared to us.

At home they've scored well over double the amount of Donny, double the amount of Forest & Bristol City, loads & loads more than Millwall, Cov etc... and six more goals than we have at home too I'd say that's pretty much scoring for fun for where they are

They've averaged 1.95 goals per game at home, including 6 against Reading & Blackpool, we've averaged 1.3gpg away from home

Dangerous game for us, especially as many fans we'll probably walk it which I think is what rubs off on some of the players against these lower teams & they forget to bring their A game

just wondering, as we have unreserved standing..... i'm guessing the earlier people get into the terrace the better option of where they stand? and then people who arrive 2 minutes before k.o will be at the front? sounds a bit obvious and daft but just wanted to clear the air

Kasper

Pelts

SSL

Morgan

Konch

Bamba

Drinkwater

Dyer

Marshall

Nugent

Beckford

Posh are pretty much all out attack at home, giving the front 4 licence to run wild.

If we're defensively sound, don't see any reason why we shouldn't win this!
