    If we beat Posh 6-0,  I will happily lock myself in a lift with Professor Positive until the end of the season and subscribe to all of his highly inspiring Jehovah's Witness-style morning pep talks. 

    Fortunately, I think a draw will suit both sides.

    1-1

    If they stop Chuks and Jayden, they shouldn't lose.

    The fact we gave them two goals and we were not exactly performing for the manager on a really shit pitch they were used to playing on. We were still unfortunate not to get a point at least. All this and our form gives me a lot of hope. I think they should be more concerned about us than the other way around.

    I expect this, but would prefer to see Watson ahead of Pratley. 

    Think Peterborough is too soon for Wash. 1-1

    Yeah they all score super regularly. 

    Personally don't see us winning this one. Will be a happy surprise should we manage it.

    Probably a let down but I'll hope for a 1-0 home win.

    Because I thoroughly enjoyed Tuesday and am used to the common disappoint that is Charlton's following game after walloping someone.

    Brownie made a good point that we virtually gave 2 goals away with bad mistakes away to them, while being quite poor. We've improved a lot since that game.


    It's L1 and I don't think NA is of the motivational and tactical mindset where he will want to go into a game against somebody our level to man mark 2/3 opposition players. 
    You say that but on Tuesday as soon as we lost possession JFC was straight on Mayor, at least until they changed formation, even if he wasn't "his man". 

    I think it's a very valid tactic to put Pratley on Szmodics. 

    This could be a fantastic game because I think both teams can afford to lose by trying to win.  Them more so than us but a win for us would be massive and a defeat wouldn't be the end of the world.

    Gilbey has 2 in 4, in the position he is now playing.  Like a new signing.  Should have scored against Donny to.

    A point will be a bonus in this one for me. 1-1 Stockley

    I can see us starting maatsen either left or right wing to help keep dembele or ward quiet as they can hurt us. I trust our defence and Pratley can deal with szmodics and Clarke harris. Stockley Vs Beevers will be an interesting battle as well.

    2-1 to us I reckon.

    Before the match The Adder will place a mat reading '2nd place' in front of their dressing room door, and after the match he'll put it up from under their feet.

    He'll whistle off with it to his desk knowing that in  two weeks time he could still yet be brushing it down for our own dressing room.

    It's an absolute must win game.

    I think it will be the same team start as tuesday apart from mighty Innis will come back in. Whether he replaces Pearce or Famwoe is a tough call for this game personally I would leave Pearce out. I cant see nads making any other changes if all are fit. On the bench I suspect Albie will make way for maatsen

    But it cannot be just one change, LB said when we play Tuesday and Saturday we have to change at least 4 or 5 players each game  :)

    My simulation had us beating Sunderland, drawing with Ipswich and beating Plymouth. Will it keep going with a win against Peterborough?

    The great thing is that we suddenly have a whole bunch of players on tip top form, Amos, Pearce, Matthews,  Inniss, JFC, Gilbey, Millar, Stockley, Washington, Purrington, and another bunch doing ok, Famewo, Millar, DJ, Maatsen. Chuks, Pratley, Watson. So Ads has the luxury of picking a whole team plus subs from players riding high. And Shinnie, Schwarz and Morgan fit if necessary. What riches!

    We only had 5 scorers on Tuesday night and Plymouth had one...

    Each game feels like an extended play-off super league. Am so glad to be glued to the remainder of the season.

    Millar's so infuriatingly inconsistent isn't he!

    I wrote a little poem, can't remember what it's called:
    Win win win win win
    Win win win win win
    Win win win win win
    Wiiiiiiiin

    1:1

    Peterborough have lost 3 out of their last 10. I’m feeling pretty confident we can win this.

    Daring to hope for a home win following Tuesday’s heroics. I expect to see Inniss in from the start with Maatsen, Watson and Aneke coming off the bench only because NA seems to go for stability in selection.

    I can’t remember the last time we had these numbers of ‘starters’ available to play. It’s going to be quite something to make the bench

    If we do get ahead in this game I would like to see Schwartz given a decent run-out. I feel he hasn’t had the opportunity yet to show what he can do in a situation that isn’t desperate. 

    Loving this run-in bearing in mind the position we were in a few weeks back with all the other sides having games in hand on us.

    I doubt Schwartz will even make the bench

    I’m not sure if you can be vicariously affected through a forum but feeling strangely Adkins-esque about this one. Not going to be able to watch it due to work but maybe that’s a good thing as we tend to do better when I’m otherwise occupied. 2-0 win.

    Posh fans seem to reckon on a draw, so with teams that know how to score it must be
    0-0
    I'll settle for a draw as long as we can improve our goal difference.
