Reckon we'll get stuffed tonight!?

 

[MK Shrimper]

If the game's going ahead then yes.You might want to check the weather conditions in "poshland" before you fork out your tenner though.

It's not too far from me and it's fairly benign weather wise today.

It's still seriously gusty (45 mph) on Southend Seafront and the chill factor in the wind makes it feel chilly as well. Forecast says most of the strong winds will have buggered off by early evening.

Back on thread. I'd happily take a draw and then concentrate on picking up maximum points in the 3 home games.

I remember going to this fixture last year. Ivan Toney completely bullied our centre backs and they walked out easy 2 - 0 winners. Our support was quite toxic from memory - Chris Powell and Oxley were getting quite a lot of abuse.

Can't see anything other than a defeat unfortunately.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

I see Michael Klass is turning out for the U23s against Wimbledon this afternoon, so assume he won't be involved again tonight. Wonder why he's so far out of favour with Sol.

Like others, I can only see a heavy defeat tonight - Posh are bang in form and made a really good loan signing in ex-Col U midfielder Szmodics.

Hope it doesn't knock the confidence too much.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Keeping a clean sheet against probably the most attack minded side in the League, will be extremely difficult. They attack from all angles with many capable of scoring. Ivan Toney is destined for better things, and far too good for League One. The good news is they leave gaps at the back when on the attack. We have to nick the ball off them and catch them out. So we need Oxley and the defence to play an absolute blinder, and put away some of our chances. That's a tall order.

Re Michael Klass I think it was suggested he is one of the most talented players in the squad but does not necessary make full use of this in terms of application. Sol on the other hand always mentions character, attitude, application as amongst the first things he looks for.

It might just be that Klass needs to demonstrate these traits before he gets his chance. No doubt Sol got a full report from CF & RD whilst he was on loan.

 

[Chris Powell's mate]

Posh 3-0 Blues, and not even going to fork out the tenner to see same.
I'd like to see a competitive game; not a one where I chew my fingernails watching P'boro bowl forward at will and scoring occasionally.

looking at the form table, the last 4 games at home have seen them score 10 and concede 1....defence seems to be fine on that basis
