the_mighty_bosh Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Last year at London Road we played the better football but due to their clinical finishing and our individual errors we came up short. Next week I could see us going there and making it really difficult for them. If we manage to pick up a really hard fought win then it would be a great indicator of how we have progressed under LJ in recent times. Sure we are likely to lose, but I feel it's great that the team has earned the chance to prove that we can seriously compete with the top teams in this division.

oafcmetty Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 0-3 drubbing then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefflatic Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 don't fear Pboro at all - not the threat they have been in the past ie Assombalonga etc Had a few lucky 1-0's recently including saturday (their goal was a joke in terms of defending from fleetwood) Aside from Bristol City no one else looks like a team who are better than their current level and even they manage to ship a few goals a game. Do our jobs properly as we've been doing and ensure we have our shooting boots on, then we should get a point minimum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be four points behind Brizzle and one clear of Boro after playing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Me either. We will be four points behind Brizzle and one clear of Boro after playing them! So we would get 6 points for winning the game?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think we'll get beat Saturday. Based on nothing else other than they've seemed to have a decent team every time we've played them over the last few years. Think we'll pick up some points after though. a draw down there would be a top result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Guru Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It's nice to be even able to entertain any other thought than a drubbing for once away at Posh...good times As people say we have moved up a few notches and posh look to have less firepower than previous seasons (Vassel looks decent mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw65 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Think Vassell is injured isn't he! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 We have absolutely nothing to fear. Notts County have taken a point at their place and they've also lost to Gillingham, who looked a poor team the other week (but not quite as bad as Scunthorpe) and Yeovil who have been very indifferent. I think it will be tight, but we should be going to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 we should be going to win. We definitely should be. It's my first away game of the season, we better had give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Weird innit going there fully confident of a decent result? Good weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'll take a point with Big G now out and Lockwood still out too. These draws are most annoying...but please a draw or a last 90th minute winner of someone's arse or elbow will do to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronoafc Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 First trip to London road for me - will be tough but I can see us getting a draw. Like others say they don't have the firepower they have had in recent years so hopefully we can keep them out and maybe nick a 0-1!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1onheartNew Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Whilst I think we will likely ship a couple due to the enforced changes in defence, I also think that we will score more as they do tend to concede. 4-2 Win. Vassell has a broken foot which whilst bad for him, is great news for us. Edited September 30, 2014 by L1onheartNew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vassell has a broken foot which whilst bad for him, is great news for us. Vassell was a strange one when I was watching him. He scored 16 in 16 during his spell at Stortford but most of those were in cup games against lower league (and quite significantly lower in some cases) opposition. He was never especialy impressive in league games and it was a welcome surprise to me when his transfer to Peterborough effectively wiped out a year's losses incurred through being in Conf North. Glad he's done well and hope he continues to me but I don't see him as the next big thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
