I wanted us to get 12 points from our last 5 and we managed 13.
I think this next batch of 5:
Posh (h) - Win (3)
Brum (a) - Lose (0)
Exeter (h) - Win (3)
Orient (a) - Draw (1)
Barnsley (h) - Draw (1)
I think 8 would be a decent return from a reasonably hard cluster of games. Hopefully knick a win at Orient or at home to Barnsley for 102 -
Peterborough are a team that simply cannot defend properly - their young, inexperienced squad have been found out on multiple occasions this season. They have the worst defense in the league, conceding 55 and conceding, on average, nearly 2 per game. Away form, equally, is second-worst in the league. They are under pressure from both Burton and Shrewsbury, and are very much in the relegation dogfight. They can score goals (with goals scored putting them above many other teams, including us), but their naivety and inexperience at the back make them very vulnerable. It's something we will absolutely look to punish - we've broken down one of the best defenses in Stevenage on Saturday, so we should be able to score a couple minimum with the form we are in.
I've never really read too much into head-to-heads over the years, as this is an apples and oranges comparison. Some of our recent squads have been hot garbage and theirs have been strong promotion contenders. We're in excellent form and no-one in the league will want to play us now - aside from maybe Birmingham, who have an axe to grind after we beat them at home. All signs point to a comfortable home win, but games are won on the pitch and not on paper.
NJ will keep them grounded, hard-working and honest - and this is absolutely to his credit. At the end of the game on Saturday, body language in the walk round the pitch suggests we have an real collective team now, and not just a squad. They are really starting to believe and, barring any stupidity, it should be a relatively comfortable clean sheet win. Main risk comes from a mistake, but if we score first, we should take this at a canter.
Concentrate on winning these types of games, and playoffs are completely in our hands. My regret for booking a May holiday is growing with every game!13 -
Posh under Fergie Jnr aren't the sort of team who can go somewhere to scrap and frustrate, which is why they're in trouble.ShootersHillGuru said:Posh will come to spoil and try and get at least a point. They’re as desperate for points as we are. I think we’ll huff and puff but these games are difficult and can go either way. It’ll be close.
No game is a gimme, but on their current form, they're much easier opponents than scrappers like Shrewsbury a couple of weeks ago.1 -
Does the Sky coverage tonight and the Charlton TV coverage use the same stream? One is £10 the other £14.99 albeit with the other games too which is kinda pointless here.0

I'd love to think we'll give someone a proper spanking at some stage, We could have scored four or five on Saturday with some better decision taking and really putting foot on the pedal. Now that we have a settled line up, no injuries and Jones has finally by accident or by design abandoned hoofball, there is m-no reason why we can't stormtrooper into the playoffs. No reason why that shouldn't be tonight. I suspect it won't but if we repeat Saturday then we are still, somewhat miraculously, on course2

Posh are without their leading scorer tonight, it will make no difference, we will get another 3 points, going for a clear 3-0...👍2

It's probably just down to wording, but the expectation that we WILL win is making me edgy now!0

The posh have had some horrendous results of late. Lost 5-1 to Lincoln and 3-1 to Bristol Rovers. Ferguson can’t find a settled team. What’s the betting he comes and parks the bus. Think we’ll need an early goal and if we get that goal, we’ll go on to win handsomely. If not, it might be a struggle.1

While I agree we should always back the team - 22 years as a season ticket holder tells me nothing will ever be smooth sailing.letthegoodtimesroll said:.sm said:
You’re too late to be one of those. You needed to be an optimist two months ago when catching up with the teams in the play off spots was so far out of reach, particularly given the poor charlton results we were seeing. Now we’re in the game on stage and you don’t need to be an optimist, you just need to get behind the team and let them get on with what they have been doing, ie winning and improving game by game.Is it too early yet to become an optimist?2 -

Hopefully we can continue Peterborough's dreadful current run of lost 9 and drawn 1 in last 10 away games. Our head to head is not great, so about time we took the full 3 points against them.1

Why is it we just cannot beat this lot? Really despise them and their arrogant chairman. Relegation would be interesting but their team seems to be too good to go down. They remind me of our team in most recent seasons, under achieving. They can pop up with yet another result, 1-0 to the Posh.1
