[Archived] Match Preview: Peterborough United v Rovers

[blueboy3333]

Tough one to call this. In their last 6 home games Posh have beaten Shrewsbury, Wigan and Pompey but lost to Gillingham, Oxford and Blackpool. Maybe they only turn it on for the 'bigger' games. Obviously got some decent players (Maddison is one that has been talked about as being destined for bigger things). Could be a tough game.

1-1

Let's have a few more score predictions please posters.

The addition of guess the team/tactics is welcome, but a score prediction and quick reason was always the intention of the match day thread.

Makes for interesting reading.

You're like a cr@p Beetlejuce from the LT, always trying to control the agenda

[roversfan99]

Graham was integral to the last league win, and scored himself v Crewe.

Maybe harsh on Samuel but i'd play Graham. Done nothing to be dropped.

I need to be cr@p inspector Clouseau to decipher that bunkum 

You've not been around that long, so you're excused, but the match day thread was always full of posters scores and reasons why, made for interesting reading and created a much more vibrant lead up to any game.

Glad to see you've joined in, can't argue with any of that, even though I went for 3-1 Rovers, I'd take 1-1.

Whittingham?

Peter @#/?ing Whittingham.... what can he do?

What does he do?

Evans is the lesser of two evils.

That's the problem, if you could roll the two of them together into one you might have a decent player but neither of them has earned the shirt this season. We are were we are and I'd pick Evans. Score -2-2.

2-0 or 3-0. The way we have been playing recently we should be able to win every game until the end of the season.

[Mark45]

Not changing winning team from Blackpool FC, 2-4 games.      Tony has built confidence with players,hope for 2-0 winning.

[Roverthechimp]

2-0 loss purely because it has been going too well lately plus i'll be watching

Raya
Nyambe Downing Mulgrew Williams
Smallwood Whittingham
CONWAY Dack Antonsson
SAMUEL

 

[Bigdoggsteel]

I'm not sure about Conway starting after being out for so long,but I suppose options are limited. 

Hopefully we sneak a win,but I would definitely take a draw as being a good result. 

[blueboy3333]

Rovers subs today: Jayson Leutwiler, Paul Caddis, Elliott Ward, Willem Tomlinson, Corry Evans, Danny Graham, Joe Nuttall  

Good to see Tomlinson on the bench, even if it's only because Harper is suspended.

I can't argue a great deal with that. I'd have gone with Evans for Whittingham but to be honest it won't make a lot of difference either way.  Somehow I feel our weak links may let us down today but I'll still go for a score draw.

I'd pick the same bar Evans in for Whittingham.

[blueboy3333]

From the LT:-

Big test for the Rovers full-backs today against Edwards and Maddison.

I'm officially worried if they have good wingers

[Oldgregg86]

I'd swap caddis' n nyambe but apart from that. Decent. Good to see Willem get on the bench. Onwards we march

[JacknOry]

This could be a cracking match judging by how many goals they have scored and how we normally set up to play away from home. 2-4 to us.

was sending off maybe?

[DE.]

I think this could be where our winning run comes to an end. Would take a point. 

[blueboy3333]

This chap plays for them. Wondered what happened to him. Charlie might get a hattrick from the spot today:-

 

[blueboy3333]

We could go 2nd today....

With Conway not being a flying winger I always feel Mowbray likes to start him to tuck in down that side which again suggests we might sit off from the start but like you say no real options now. Probably rather start like that than play a striker on the right as well I suppose, young quick winger desperately needed in Jan.

Doubt he'd get in ahead of Tafazolli who I think is one of the best in the league.

They're both playing.

3-1 to the Rovers, Dack, Samuel and Mulgrew. Normally I would be a bit hesitant due to the MOTM award but after Captain Mowbray came in at Wetherby at 9-2 I am a bit more confident. Great ride by Tony Kelly
