To say "Either Evatt always beats Ferguson, regardless of things like available players, or I'll worry about him" doesn't make much sense.

Who thinks Peterborough will be in the playoffs? If the answer is no we need to be winning…

don't forget GJ - so that's actually 9 unavailable. And of that 9, arguably 4 shoe-ins in a normal starting 11 (Bradley, Iredale or Williams, Thomason, Bod).Worthy4England wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 7:12 pmI'm assuming our 8 are: Bradley, Iredale, Thomason, Isgrove, Williams, Bod, Dan and Kacha?

Back in Sep - at home - we narrowly beat them 1-0. A lot has changed since then, but 6 of the starting line up in that game will not be available tomorrow (GJ, Brad, Iredale, MJ, Thomason, Kacha).
However, we do now have at our disposal Toal, Randy, Shoretire, Jerome, Vik, Mbete & Morley (in form, and as a starter)
I don't think i'd be too disappointed with a draw to be honest, but its definitely winnable

Right now, a win; 4-45 on the day a desperate wish not to lose.dave the minion wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 8:41 am

There is just no predictometer that can accurately forecast the top third results in this league; indeed, the rest of it will be a real survival scrap, but the top end can definitely be forecast correctly on one thing: a win at any costs approach by all. Right now, In terms of games played a far different picture would emerge if the top seven played catch up and won all their levelling games. We just have to hope our position can be determined by ourselves and not dependant on others losing. Focus on the job in hand is our best bet, which you can be sure Evatt is well aware of. A win and three points is the only path to take. We just hope we start on the right foot against the Posh. So..
COME ON YOU WHITES....

Dan is still injured. So say BN.

Wait, what?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 4:51 pmI’d still be tempted to use him off the bench. For either side depending on need. Jones RWB and John LWB. I think that asking RW who is way off full match fitness to play this would be too risky…not just for him but the game generally…he struggled at Derby. John has been poor but looks a bit fitter.
The last game, everyone was shit!
The game before, we thought we'd signed a new flying fullback!

In haste to write I guess I should have said instead…was poor last week. But he’s been poor generally for a while….Charlton he looked great for a half and I hoped he’d kick on last week but for me went back to the reasons he probably hasn’t been picked….

Guess where I was at DTM. is Bradley - yes he's a starter. The others there's probably a case either way based on options we have. Thomason was a shoo-in when he got injured, but then Morley hadn't hit overdrive, and Dempsey was hot and cold. Last few games, you'd probably say Thomason was playing his way in again (rotation notwithstanding). Fit Bod, maybe a starter, but has started less than 1/3 of our league games and we now have other options.dave the minion wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 8:41 amdon't forget GJ - so that's actually 9 unavailable.

When you look across our likely starting XI - you'd probably say it's not far off decent - but it seems to be easier to focus on what we haven't got as some sort of mitigation to "we might get beat" than focus on what we do have available. Like you, I don't think a point would be a major disaster, but every week, we seem to line up reams and reams of "why we might not win"...I think some would have us believe we're lucky to have made it out of the relegation zone

A new left-sided defensive partnership of Mbete and John or Williams going up against probably the best RW/RWB in League One in Joe Ward doesn't fill me with confidenceWorthy4England wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 4:37 pmGuess where I was at DTM. is Bradley - yes he's a starter.

We're talking like we'd be better just giving them all 3 points and having the weekend off...I'm not saying we should or will win and Ward might be the difference. Sometimes you need to try and take one against the head, even if it doesn't happen often.

Re: Nothing Posh about pasties. V Peterborough away Sat 11-Feb 3,0'clock.
Agree with this. I wa also falling into the trap of focussing on who we don't have available, until I realised actually he we do have now. I think we exited the window stronger than we entered it, and despite the injuries I think we are a stronger and more cohesive team now.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 4:37 pm

For a bit of fun, comparing the starting line up from September with a possible for today, with who I think are the "stronger" players in bold, it doesn't look too bad....
SEPT FEB
Trafford Trafford
GJ Mbete
Santos Santos
Jones Jones
Bradley Toal
Iredale John
Dempsey Dempsey
MJ Morley
Thomason Shoretire
Kacha Vik
Charles Charles
(apologies but the formatting has gone all skewiff and I can't correct it....

Re: Nothing Posh about pasties. V Peterborough away Sat 11-Feb 3,0'clock.
This is worse news than our injury list. I was going to replace our kettle last month. It's an OK kettle, but not as good as Peterborough's, which I understand can be used for Earl Grey and Lapsang Souchong. I'm worried about this, but I'll see if the neighbour will loan me theirs.sonicthewhite wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 7:12 amSorry guys.

I believe Camomile has strained his Hornimans and is too weak to play.
