Peterborough at home

[LivingTheSeasideDream]

Drawing at home, got high hopes for Wembley now.

 

[Always tangerine]

The best team of the other 3, but we're at home so have a decent chance.

 

[mropinion]

They put 4 of us at home last time so won't be getting carried away

 

[Somerset Seasider]

I'd rather play Posh at home than Wembley!

 

[20togo]

who's at home in the other tie?

 

[seasidelytham]

who's at home in the other tie?

Bradford

 

[poolseasider]

They put 4 of us at home last time so won't be getting carried away

Oakley-Booth started that game and we had a man sent off after 46 have the faith.

 

[Victor Laszlo]

Hope the club don't put the directions to Wembley in the programme on semi-final night.

 

[Gwillerz78]

So in that 7 day period we play

17th Peterborough away

21st or 22nd Peterborough home

24th Bolton home

 

[Hazi]

So in that 7 day period we play

17th Peterborough away

21st or 22nd Peterborough home

24th Bolton home

Glad the league game is first.

Toughest opponent but home is good.

How goods that

 

[Mike_BFC]

Better at home than in the final

Let’s pack the place out and get behind the team. I’d actually consider putting the ticket prices down again for this. They won’t bring many mid week so need to use our home advantage

 

[1966_and_all_that]

How goods that

Or even:
How good's that?

Don't fret...it's Friday and I'm feeling jolly.

 

[JOHNMAJORTOM]

WE are so UNBEATEN in this competition its untrue. cmon blackpool fans.

 

[TangerineBayern]

They don’t bring many anyway even on a sunny afternoon in August!

Correcto grammar

 

[Wizaard]

Oakley-Booth started that game and we had a man sent off after 46 have the faith.

And scored very late which flattered them.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Correcto grammar

Bollocks, I know but what the hell.

 

[NewburyOne]

Obviously being at home is a big advantage but it's going to be odd playing them away on the Saturday in the league, then again on Tuesday in the cup. The following Saturday sees us take on Bolton at home, whereas they have their derby game away at Cambridge. It's a key period for both clubs and squad depth will play a big part. Ideally we beat Posh and meet Bradford, who would take big numbers, and hammer them in the final.

Bradford would indeed take big numbers to Wemberleeeeeee- Blackpool on the other hand I think would struggle to take 20k

 

[585 = never give up]

How goods that

That's one tough but entertaining week.
We have a good squad and they, lead by our coaching team go head to head with 2 of the best L1 teams, who currently sit above us. Now they can really show the EFL world what we're made of.

Exactly, the team spirit is good, fans are on form, all positive

As the saying goes - "if you want to win trophies, you have to beat the best."
These games may well define our season, so everyone will be up for it. It'll be 3 games with an atmosphere like Forrest in the PL play-off semis!

 

[Sooty59]

We meet Fergie JR again. Let's give him a raucous Local reception.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

They are light years ahead of us so wanted to avoid Peterborough. At least at home.

Agree, would have been better Wycombe at home but we still have a good chance playing at home

 

[CAGU]

We’d have beat them to lift the trophy so good that we’ve got them at home in the semis

 

[Wizaard]

They are light years ahead of us so wanted to avoid Peterborough. At least at home.

You said Bolton were streets ahead. How did that go?

 

[AllTheBoysAreCheerin']

If they're "light years ahead" they'll be knackered after travelling back to play little Blackpool in the tin pot cup!

 

[Blackpool Are Back!]

I think Peterboro might field a strong side seeing as the winner goes to Wembley.
I know we made some changes but Bolton made 8 changes the other night.

 

[poolseasider]

I think Peterboro might field a strong side seeing as the winner goes to Wembley.
Bolton made 8 changes the other night.

And we made 7 so what's your point?

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

You said Bolton were streets ahead. How did that go?

We haven't scored a goal past them in 180 minutes. Went brilliant.

 

[MeanLeanTangerineMachine]

3rd worst draw for us after Posh away and Wycombe away.

Worst draw for them.

Will be an absolute massive season defining week, imagine winning all 3 games

 

[AllTheBoysAreCheerin']

We haven't scored a goal past them in 180 minutes. Went brilliant.

So one goal in 180 mins = streets?

 

[Dougallsdouble]

They put 4 of us at home last time so won't be getting carried away

They only put 4 past against 10 men and the ref was absolute shocking too.

 

[Ping Pong]

So in that 7 day period we play

17th Peterborough away

21st or 22nd Peterborough home

24th Bolton home

5 games in 14 days, changes inevitable

 

[AllTheBoysAreCheerin']

3rd worst draw for us after Posh away and Wycombe away.

Worst draw for them.

Will be an absolute massive season defining week, imagine winning all 3 games

Not sure the Tin Pot cup will be season defining but it could at least provide a great day out!

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

So one goal in 180 mins = streets?

I'm talking about Posh. They were on a different level apart from we had a go in the final 20 minutes.

Both teams are well ahead of us in the league.

It's not a sign of weakness to admit they are both better teams. Try it, you can do it!

 

[AllTheBoysAreCheerin']

You replied to a post about Wanderers by talking about Posh? Really?

It's not a sign of weakness to admit that you were wrong. Try it, you can do it!

 

[Wizaard]

We haven't scored a goal past them in 180 minutes. Went brilliant.

Yet we went through and they didn't despite being so much better, according to you at home.

 

[JJpool]

They only put past against 10 men and the ref was absolute shocking too.

We battered them with 10 men, they were absolutely rocking. That was early season and we were disjointed, better now.

Plus it won't be all their 1st team and our squad is pretty even throughout.

 

[poolseasider]

Yet we went through and they didn't despite being so much better, according to you at home.

Yes but they made 8 changes Wiz so bound to be a shite side.
We only made 7.

 

[no9]

They only put 4 past against 10 men and the ref was absolute shocking too.

And we had them on the ropes before we gifted them a goal

 

[ParkerStraysOffside]

A different level. You talk about Peterborough like they are prime Barcelona. Get a grip and get into them

 

[JJpool]

We meet Fergie JR again. Let's give him a raucous Local reception.

Is that a nosebleed?

Be reet

As posted on another thread...

We're in better form than the last game, a better team, won't be playing people like Oakley-booth, no Thompson. We had no Joseph, who is now fully fit and growing each game. Despite all that we had them rocking with 10 men and only gave the game away with a mistake.

Not sure what some of their 2nd string who are likely to feature looks like, but ours is pretty handy.

One more thing I noticed from looking back is we played Kouassi and Rhodes up top.

Whilst they have their uses, fast pressing isn't really one of them, given the lack of pace and mobility compared to say Lavery and Joseph. Who with CJ and Coulson maybe, would give Peterborough far less time on the ball at the back than the last league game.

We also didn't play Dembele.

Things didn't go for us and we weren't the team we are now, despite that the 10 men deserved a point really.
