Wanderlust Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Jol_BWFC said: Plus, their run of fixtures from 25 Feb to the end of March: Derby (H) Bristol (A) Portsmouth (H) Plymouth (H) Wycombe (A) Sheff W (H) Ipswich (H) Unpredictable team Barnsley - they're quite capable of raising their game against better teams like when they knocked us out of the FA Cup in Round 1 and beat Sheff Wed 2 nil at Hillsborough. Our subsequent win was one of our performances of the season - not what we produce most weeks - and need to reproduce regularly from here on in. But yes they have a tough run in however the pressure of the possibility of a playoff spot could well get them playing at their best. Let's hope not.

barrycowdrill Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 1 hour ago, Lt. Aldo Raine said: The risk with that is that it involves making two changes to the backline, one of them being a young loanee on his debut with a wing-back to his left who has a tendency to leave a lot of space behind Hardly say it’s a risk. Jones moving to RWB would be like putting on an old pair of slippers for him and the way he was supporting and going beyond John particularly 2nd half on sat he’s not lost the nouse for the role even from LCB. Left footed CB left side albeit new is the lesser of 2 evils v’s a right footer there along with an injury prone right winger turned wing back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger risk playing isgrove methinks, let’s see what the gaffer thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be playing Williams if he's fit The thought of a wet behind the ears centre back coming in for his debut with Declan John as the wing-back to the side of him makes me nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) We'll need to be competitive in midfield as their best players (IMO) are there and they can battle and create - Fuchs and Jack Taylor in particular, but they can all play a bit and have an all round quality squad. That said, Darren Ferguson doesn't like "tough-tackling" Fuchs for some reason and he hasn't played in the last couple so may not start. They signed Tschimanga who was linked with us but given the strength of their forward line - including 15 goal Clarke-Harris - he'll probably start on the bench. They're a tough physical team who can play so we'll need to be on top form. Pitch looked decent when they beat Portsmouth in their last home game..

Stevowanderer Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 We’ve got 8 first teamers missing… I’d probably take a point now. If we can take all 3 we could well be on the way for a late surge 3 seasons in a row… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycombe managed to beat them at their place on New Year's Day albeit with a few of slices of luck that gave them a flattering 0 - 3 scoreline, but it's do-able with a top performance and a fair wind. There's always the hope that kills you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesince63 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I’m feeling quite confident about this with our new strike force. We do seem to perform better against teams who try to play, like we did at Charlton and to be fair being 9 points behind already, they need to win this more than we do so they may leave gaps at the back. It’s a shame Bradley’s out but I think a draws the least we’ll get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyRiddle Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I thought these were the least impressive of the teams at the top to play at our place. Hopefully a Charlton type performance and we should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostock Whites Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 (edited) These were truly shocking when they came to us, almost similar to Cheltenham where we had to rely on a late goal as it just wasn't going in for us and there was antics from the start But as we know, we struggle much more away from home, and Peterborough has been a miserable place for us in recent years We have to put it right though, if we want to get promoted out of this league we have be getting positive results in these games and against Wycombe away in a few weeks. They are our competition for the play offs so we need to ensure that they drop points when they play us Edited February 7, 2023 by Lostock Whites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re at home, they should be bringing the game to us (whatever that phrase actually means) and thus leaving exploitable gaps at the back.
