Oh wouldn't we all. That'd take us to Mowbray's magic 80 goals and all. Not gonna happen though, one can soberly assume.

We deserve it, but probably wont happen

[Give 'Em the Axe]

Have to be careful how I word this, given Mike E's knack for a 'Carry On'-esque twist, but I've been yearning for a vigourous stuffing since early August.

I'd love if we'd just run rampant over a team and make 'em look like total mugs.

He’s an imposter.

Even a draw tonight would leave Shrewsbury effectively 7 points behind with one game in hand. We have to slip up big time now to miss out. Won’t happen.

If all our front 4 are firing on all cylinders then we may well give this lot a stuffing. Easy for me to say this sat at home but surely our boys must be well up for tonight, knowing that they are so so close to promotion now. If I was in that squad I would itching already to get on the pitch and get the job done.

I am rearing to go, but as I am not in the squad unfortunately   I will be watching the game with a nice cold beer this evening. Cracking evening ahead

I'd have been just as confident as most on here had the Prophet of Doom, Mercer, not made a reappearance this week. We've lost just the once since his '4-0 walk in the park' weekly predictions stopped.

There are beers chilling in the fridge, there are peanuts in the cupboard, there is hope in my head, and belief in my heart. Time to show league 1 we are better than this. Total confidence about tonight. 7.45 can't come quick enough.

Tonight's a formality, a licence to print money.  Lumped on Rovers' win at 1/2 with my fun bet on Rovers score of 4-1 at 21/1.

You can go 2-0  up too early. I've seen it happen many times. You don't know how to play it, your opponents have only one option. 90th minute is the ideal time for the second goal.

I would prefer to go 2-0 up than be 1-0 up

I do take your point though

Nope, I saw it and his over-confidence the other day too. Am convinced the 'license to print money' claptrap is all a wind-up. Unfortunately for Rovers, he jinxes us every bloody time. Let's hope we buck the trend tonight.

It's never to early to go 2-0 up. What you have then got to do is press to go 3-0 up and so on.

[WacoRover]

I am really looking forward to this game. This may be the toughest game left for us, as Posh are striving for playoff spot. Lots of talent in our starting 11, & the bench has been strong all season. Glad to see Dack, et al, our lads recognized for their excellent play 

No way do I want Rovers going to The Valley, needing 3 pts to maintain their lead. 

I don’t see a tie tonight; a big win, hopefully in front of a raucous crowd, & auto promotion isn’t far away.

I'd settle for being 2 up early tonight!

But I know what you're saying Tyrone.

Funnily enough, I wouldn't be too perturbed if Posh got an early goal because then I'm sure we'd finish up convincing winners.

[Claytons Left Boot]

Three points tonight will be so important. Eight points ahead of Shrewsbury with, for them, four games to play. I’m just imagining the positions being reversed and Rovers having to make up that shortfall with so few matches remaining. COYB.

I was thinking the exact same today. It's holding leads that gives me nerves, not coming back if a goal down.

Having said that, we have all mentioned here many times how nervy it is when we go ahead in games, but the reality is we are very, very hard to beat.

I’m not sure I can handle the nerves of watching Rovers defend a two goal early lead. We never seem to have a clue what to do at 2-0 up. 

[tomphil]

Let's just get out there get a goal or two up as soon as possible then worry about the rest as it unfolds !!!!!

Glad some on here aren't giving team talks
