Pre-Match Thread Peterborough Utd vs Southend Utd Tuesday 11th February 2020 7:45pm

[RHB]

Here we go again. away to the Posh and another opportunity to see if we can get anything out of this game. Osadebe and Vassell have been included in the selection poll but whether they will be availble is anyones guess.

Anyway, normal pre-match stuff, you know what to do. For those not travelling to the game, it is being streamed live on iFollow for ten quid.

Think it will be called off. I believe the storm is at its peak on Tuesday.

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

If it is called off that would be a run of 3 home games to get points on the board .. if not..well we lost yesterday and Posh battered Oxford 4-0. So probably 1-0 to us. This is a mad old game.

I've just had a quick look at the BBC forecast for Peterborough on Tuesday night and currently its showing 3 degrees C and wind speeds of 19mph for the duration of the match.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

On the face of it any kind of a result would be an extremely good effort from the lads. Posh are strong and in good form. So, as @Leigh_Seasider says we will probably win this one! In reality anything less than a 3-0 defeat would have to be considered to be a decent effort. One of these days we may get some luck - perhaps this will be the game. We’d need at least one of their lads sent off plus an early goal I think, but who knows - at least the one thing we can say is that we have a united team now all pulling in the same direction.

Can't make this game and not often I'm pleased to miss one but this is. Peterborough form side on current form and beat Ipswich 4-1 away followed by beating Oxford 3-0. We are on a hiding to nothing but I guess you never know, but this will test us to the limit which is why yesterday's unlucky defeat was so crucial

 

[tottenham541]

If we ain’t on our game for this one then we could see a heavy defeat as Peterborough on there day can score for fun, but they also conceded a few at times.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Can see this being 5 or 6 to the Posh. A lot of attacking talent and real pace which we don't have a lot of in our backline or midfield.

 

[Tommy2holes]

As long as the team continue to give 100% I'll be happy.

 

[LBBlue]

At least we don't have to come up against Marcus Maddison - he's been loaned to Hull.

 

[Callum]

Peterborough away looking forward to it

Another example of the EFL double standards, this was likely done to thwart fair play money rules which get twisted with impunity and "the finger" by the wealthy few clubs.

I think he’d fallen out with Ferguson - had only started 4 league games since Nov 5th.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I think he’d fallen out with Ferguson - had only started 4 league games since Nov 5th.

Yep. They're disgusted with him as he's turned out to be another greedy footballer, trying to run his contract down so he goes on a free, and gets bigger wages as a result.

But on the other hand this was his 6th season with them, 250 appearances and he’s 27 in September. I think they have had value from him - has always been the best player on the pitch when we’ve played them. Probably the only way he thought he would get to play at a bigger club.

 

[The General]

If we don't get tonked I'll be shocked. These lot in great form and confidence. Will be chuffed with anything less than 3-0!

 

[Barling Magna]

Peterborough have won their last five games on the trot so they are bound to be over-confident when they come to Roots Hall. They are in for a shock.

Ah.... then I woke up. Ivan Toney is the lad we need to be worried about. He scored twice yesterday which means he has scored 21 goals already this season.......

That's pretty much the only hope we have of getting something out of this match, we have seen a few teams recently who thought they only had to turn up and we'd roll over and give them 3 points. Can't see it personally but hopefully Peterborough perform in the same way.

 

[NZamba Legend]

When they glimpse the SUFC badge and see the shrimp Peterborough will be scared of us.

It’ll be a huge relief if Toney and co turn up at Roots Hall Tuesday evening.
