NewBlue Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Do we carry on with the side which has performed well, despite only the single point from a possible six? I've been to neither game, but yet again we've not had strikers on the scoressheet. Is it worth taking one out and putting an extra man into midfield? Fane/Green/Banks combination or perhaps we put Erwin onto the left-wing, where I think he'd be a revelation, and put Flynn behind a lone striker - I'd choose Mckay, just for his work rate. On the plus side, it can't be any worse than Peterborough at home last season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamoafc Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'd play 5 in midfield. Drop ladapo. Bring Winchester in behind McKay with fane and banks in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel M Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 We haven't won at home on a Saturday in the league since April 23 That will change THIS Saturday.

josh_latics Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 He won't, but he should go five in midfield. There's no need in playing two up top when they're both turd and not scoring goals. Flynn, Winch, McLaughlin behind one striker (I'd go Erwin, who's probably the best of a truly awful bunch, or McKay for his work rate etc), then Green and Banks behind.

RobOAFC Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'd keep it the same as last night. Sounded like we was all over them first half so keep the same team that seems to be playing some better football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshgaz Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'd play 5 in midfield. Drop ladapo. Bring Winchester in behind McKay with fane and banks in the middle. Not sure if Robbo is bright enough to figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Reckon Erwin would be a revelation on the left wing. He may not be fast but he's got excellent vision and shooting. He'd cause a lot of problems there - more than he would do up top. Since Banks and Flynn have come into form it actually feels like we've finally got options.

yarddog73 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'd settle for being entertained if I'm honest a win would be a bonus, I'd hazard a guess from now on in that Robbo has been told to knock the safety first approach on the head and go out all guns blazing, if we are to be relegated let's put up a fight and take it to them, hopefully a new approach at home can reap some rewards and I'd be disappointed if we roll over and get our belly tickled again tomorrow.

palmer1 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Ive missed Peteboroughs last 2 out of 3 visits to BP. We won 5-4 and lost 5-1. Im working tomorrow so its bound to rain goals ...enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Have we any life size cardboard cut outs of the Eintracht lads to fill the seats as a standby? Some are so determined to make it that they're coming via London instead of Manchester, due to the pilots' strike, and there's no guarantee they will be able to fly back on Monday.

NewBlue Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 In my mind they are in a false position in the league. They are one of the best footballing sides in the division and they will soon be climbing the table' High praise indeed from Peterborough's manager. Is he just saying it, though? May well know Robinson, both being Northern Irish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
