v Peterborough United (h) - 24/11/21

[davulsukur]

Another good driving run from Rothwell, resulting him being blatantly cleaned out.

Rothy gets us frothy

[WacoRover]

Clean sheet, I’m loving today! 

[Gone to seed]

That will do 🙂 A good result against a side that were poor but who came to play football.

Credit to Mr Mowbray.

Credit to Mr Ferguson!

Brilliant win only soured by wanky QPR getting a goal and keeping us off 6th.

I will have to do more match previews!!

That was a forearm shiver.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's out for the weekend. He looked concussed.

COYBs.

We don't want to be in the top 6 yet,only bad things happen when we're in playoff positions,leave it until the last game of the season.

[TheRoversReturn]

The 7-0 disaster has led to...

Seven points in nine games. Fair enough, good response.

Stoke away will be tougher as they're shithouses, but they aren't anything to be afraid of, that's for sure.

Especially the last six of the season. 18 points would come in handy. 

[DE.]

QPR's result isn't a total disaster as it does push Hudds further below us. Somehow we're within 3 points of the mighty WBA and their parachute payments...

You look across our team and it's hard to say where the weaknesses are. We're not brilliant, but we've got good quality everywhere without any obvious issues.

Top 6 seems actually plausible. 

[BigBar]

Always fear after a good win like tonight that the pressure if off for a win and therefore results in a lacklustre display. Almost an attitude of "ah we won the last one"...need to go and get a result at Stoke and start showing some consistency.

[neophox]

Nice first half even not playing well.... thats a top side...

 

Brereton scoring for fun. Looks far better than Armstrong, 16 goals so far and not in december yet astonishing. Only Mitrovic is better.

 

Pickering back from injury had an great impact and seems to calm things down. A future captain.

 

Wharton growing for every game and Lenihan looked composed. Rothwell did not seem bothered but did come up with two asists.

Buckley composed and calm but tired and Dolan worked his socks of and it was him harassing a defender that led to Breretons first goal.

 

Next up Stoke.

Might be a little easier now as Joe Allen sent off at Bristol.

[neophox]

Well also our talisman Dack is training hard.

[Admiral Nelsen]

I think we were more than slightly fortunate to keep a clean sheet, but we spanked them 4-0 in second gear so it'd be churlish to dwell too much on that.

 

Wharton, Pickering, Lenihan and Rothwell all excellent. Kick on against Stoke at the weekend and we could finish the day in level third!

Joe Allen is maybe one of their most important leaders..no harm that.

I’ve gone with high scores for Nyambe, Wharton, Rothwell and Brereton.

[neophox]

Brereton is excellent leading the line.

[neophox]

Kaminski did some great saves in the beginning of the second half..forgot to mention him.

Given the kicking that he got for his performance vs Bristol, good to see Nyambe looking much better today. 

 

I didn't really get the sense that any of the chances we conceded were down to the defence, rather we lost the ball further up the pitch and they broke on us a bit too easily. 

[Ossydave]

Easiest game of football we'll play all season, unless we get them claret wankers in the Cup.

Hopefully Ayala isn't badly injured as we're walking a tightrope again now at centre half.

Despite the losing to a poor Bristol side tonight, Stoke will be tough. They were on a decent little run so hopefully the loss tonight knocks the wind out their sails a bit rather than us facing a backlash. Should be a decent following as well especially after tonight's result.

Wharton really impressive again, he looks like captain material to me, love his vocal presence and cool, calm style - it seems to rub off on the players around him. 

[BigBar]

This appears to be good news
