old_eastender Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 With Posh's scoring record and our defensive record, got to be a banker home win. This is almost a 'nothing to lose' game for us, not expecting anything, so anything gained will be a big plus. I know people will point to our win at Orient, but they ain't the free-scoring unit that Posh are. I'm expecting 4-2 Posh win, come on City prove me wrong please!

Kid in the Riot Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 They've only scored 3 more goals than us this season and prior to Saturday they'd only scored 1 goal in 4 games. Take your concern about our defence though... We just need to have a first half hour like we did at Orient. Attack is the best form of defence for us, and I expect us to go for it tonight.

Orient are the divisions TOP scorers and have scored 13 goals more than Posh, so I've no idea where you've created this pre match assessment from...?!

ten minutes of rough Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Won't write us off just yet, but Posh won 4-2 at home Saturday, and that sometimes in football terms can be a good vibe for us, mind you we won too, so a 2-2 draw.? And beating Swindon Down on Saturday would be a good week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 'nothing to lose' approach is our best option, seeing as the defence still has moments of fragility. I can't recall which thread or who posted it, but similarities to Liverpool were raised, in terms of focusing on attacking play to counter defensive frailties and with two of the leagues top three scorers in our team, this would appear the way forward (pun not intended). In fact, I think we have some of the best attacking play, style and potency in this league and should be emphasising this positive and putting more pressure on the opposition, giving them something to think about, rather than allowing teams to put us on the back foot.

Late kick off all agreed that, despite the league table, we are looking the most likely for three points at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Tonight to me is about El-Abd he has to start showing what Cotts sees in him. Posh will run at him because he is slow and a weak link. He will be lucky if he is not sent off with these stupid tug backs and other little ways he fouls to make up for lack of pace. Could be a blessing if he is given red, and they miss the penalty. But i would go for a draw if we take the game to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellRedPhil Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 It's a tough game don't get me wrong and I'm not banking on a result, but they've hardly been in scintillating fem recently and since thrashing us 3-0 back in September their season hasn't exactly gone to plan.

samo II Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 A point would be an excellent result for me tonight, for me. And the point about both us and Peterborough being decent in front of goal, but not being that great at the back is reflected by their goal difference still being single digits. +9 is still very good, but if you look back to the start of Feb, it is only +1. They are missing one of their regular midfielders in Danny Swanson too, which might make up for the likely loss of Flint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 A point is grand. Not expecting anything tonight but if we can get 3 or 4 points from our two matches this week I'll be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke must have class (somewhere), but in our position, it's not the time to try to find it - Osbourne in that position there for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westred1 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "Bristol City have got a very good squad when you look at it on paper. "They've picked up a bit now. "Their position just goes to show what a hard league it is. Everyone automatically thinks that the teams that get relegated will be there challenging again. "Perhaps it doesn't put us in such a bad light in terms of we've never been out of the top six all season and they've struggled and changed managers. "But in a one-off game they are capable of giving anyone a game." Back-handed compliment much? I hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a tower of strength on Saturday winning high balls repeatedly. Yes, he is a spoiler, yes he pulls the occasional shirt, but if they can get away with it, and he does generally, isn't that what centre backs are supposed to do?

RodViler Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think you're misinformed re: the 2 out of 3 top scorers Correction. Two out of five top scorers (all competitions). Still impressive for a team fighting relegation. Yet, according to some of our fan-base, we should get rid. Now that's misinformed.

Garland-sweden Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 City will certainly go for a win. Maybe some changes in the team. They are top six but at the moment I think its even steven betweens the team. Dont gonna bet on this game but the odds are good on City. COYR.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm seeing at as this If City lose, no matter how we play (eg. Sheff Utd) It will be because the opposition are better and we can bounce back as proved in our last two games No one expects anything so I won't be too downhearted to see us with the same amount of points come 9:30. But a win will give a huge buzz around the club 3 game winning streak is a miracle in recent years!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
