flynnbrad Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm going down to the game feeling like we could come away with some points or a point , will be tough but don't see why not, what's everybody else thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross2509 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Going to get slaughtered. And I'm actually optimistic with LJ and the squad we have this season but Peterborough are just too good especially at home. I would be ecstatic with a draw.

bigfatjoe1 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 They've a settled team with a Championship edge. We've a new team with a couple of gaps that still need filling. Still, we've had a week off, so you never know...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I don't really care whether we win or lose, I just want to see a good performance with signs of promise and lots and lots of goals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 am a tad worried, just want to get a good performance, 1.5 out of 4 td frustrating. Early days, defeat is no shame, just not slaugfhtered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 They've got some real quality in that team, the Dwight Gayle money has allowed them to keep the likes of Tomlin and add that new 1m pound striker. It's going to be tough but I certainly don't think they'll be as good going backwards, Monty and Dayton should get plenty of space out wide to run in to. In the words of Dickov "if we switch off we'll get punished" a point would be a great result but I think we'll see a reaction after last week so who knows!

HarryBosch Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Head says we'll lose 5-2, heart says anything could happen. No pressure on them so they can relax and play a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Tickets booked and excitement is growing here! If Baxter is fit then the team is fairly predictable. Oxley Brown Tarky Grounds Mills Dayton Smith Baxter Montano Rooney MacDonald If Baxter isn't fit then it'll be interesting to see who LJ goes for. If fit Mellor would be my first choice. Despite Rodgers getting good reviews last week I think Wes would be better suited to this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmad09 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Tomlin has just had a transfer request rejected so that could affect his performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 We are going.Been some mixed results over the years.Once when we drew and Taylor nearly scored with the last kick which was brilliantly tipped round the post by a defender,then when we cruising 2-0 until Wes scored for them just before half time and we lost 5-2!!.Still ,looking forwards as under dogs, to a good game and hopefully come away with a point/win.Just hope Williamson isnt the referee!!!

Tommy_Fent Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think we're long overdue giving them a beating Although I doubt it'll happen tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Not optimistic but this is Latics and I know we 're capable of getting something. It could be lambs to the slaughter but I'm going for 2-2 as they can't defend either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I've got Posh in my bet so we'll win or draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynnbrad Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think they will go into the game overconfident and if we can get a strong start and a goal then who knows, we are capable of anything haha! Unsettling them at the start of th game is key for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4froale Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 we could have signed barcelona's starting 11 and still wouldn't get anything down there, we never do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well, considering the entrance fee, plus the awful negativity surrounding the team at the moment, it's a wonder any fans are bothering to go at all. Peterborough are settled and confident whilst the Latics are still an unknown quantity, with quality players (for League One) who haven't settled or gelled...just yet. It's a football match..anything could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegtt Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Theyre not going to win every game at London Road this year, no reason why it can't be us who take something from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I think if Baxter is fit he will play up top with Rooney, Rodgers in midfield with Korey and MacDonald on the bench. Yes, the captain on the bench is a brilliant idea. I bet LJ has considered this and it is definitely the lineup he will pursue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshawlatic Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes, the captain on the bench is a brilliant idea. I bet LJ has considered this and it is definitely the lineup he will pursue. I think he means Rodgers in midfield with Korey alongside and Macdonald on the bench. Just missed a comma I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Errrr, I take it back then 'cos I like Rodgers. 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 is fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroyboy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Bought two tickets for me and grandson at 2-15. Someone in front when I got there and two behind when I left. Optimism moved up a couple of notches that there could be more than 300 there. I also, think there will be a response to our lacklustre performance upfront against Walsall. Whether it's enough remains to be seen. A good game on the cards and a Compo's, Holmfirth tea on the way back if the spirits need lifting.

petelatics Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I expect to concede four or five. It's a very difficult game when you consider the state of our defence - Grounds is inexperienced in central defence and the whole back five lacks experience individually and collectively. The best way is for Latics to take the game to Peterborough and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
