Posh were League 1 and Hull Championship?

Yeah, or maybe the season before, when did Hull go down? Either way the point stands.

I hope so

With a high press I hope. Lets see if we can finish the game stronger as well.

Nothing wrong with going unchanged. No midweek games next week so more recovery time. Plus his hands are pretty tied at the moment . 

[Alex_BCFC]

1-1 draw I reckon but hopefully another step towards playing better football.

[ExiledAjax]

Two of the best keepers in the division on show today.

What I went for as well

Let’s see if we can impose ourselves on QPR.  Looks like QPR might go 352 / 35211 / 3421 / 343 depending on where Chair and Willock play.  We know they like to pass from the back, but with Austin up top, he isn’t gonna run in behind so we should be able to squeeze.

Now don’t shoot the messenger because I wouldn’t claim to be ITK, but rumour has it that Nigel found LJ’s tombola under Holden’s desk on his second day, and promptly threw it straight at Mark Ashton, hospitalising him, which is why we’ve not seen him

But didn't LJ state once that his daughter picked the team?

He’d run out of players to throw under the bus by that point so chose his first born

What about recovery time from Wednesday until now? I dont think we've picked up even a point yet this season on a Saturday following a Wednesday game and an unchanged team isn't going to help that

Bet if Holden was still in charge there would have been an outcry about not 'freshening up' the starting eleven. Mind you we would've broken our record of straight losses so I guess that doesn't equate.

Bit unfair if they play 35211 Dave.

That’s naughty innit.

[Midlands Robin]

2-0 City. 

A strong display with goals in either half. Plenty of battling performances, entertaining but not much refinement. 

COYR

[Lanterne Rouge]

Jack H OK to start then - good news IMO, we completely lost our shape/game plan after he went off midweek.

Didn’t we do that albeit the other way round just two games ago? Swansea on the Saturday, Middlesbrough on the Wednesday and won both?

also, I doubt it’s been our recovery time that’s been the issue this season! I think tactics and team selection have been the main problems.

No, we played Middlesbrough on a Tuesday

You should know by now his options are so limited he has to put himself on the bench.

[Dan Robin]

Strangely I'm quite optimistic about today's match : 2-1, Fammy and Nagy to score.

Think it’s all of those things but a bit of consistency of selection is probably reasonable for a new boss

Think he brings a lot more into the team than people like to see, or give him credit for. 

Personally I'd be happy to see him sign an extension, but he does seem to be one of those players that needs competition for his spot to bring the best out of him.

[GlastonburyRed]

Fam to score in a City victory, COYR!!!

I thought it was a 4231 attacking / 451 defending.

According to Robins TV, its a diamond midfield 4-4-2. If that's the case we should expect Sessegnon and Hunt to supply the width.
