Peterborough v QPR 5Feb22 2 - 0 FT FA Cup 4th Rnd

The substitutions were indeed hampered by having to (sensibly) rest Chair (and possibly Wallace & Amos too), and by having nobody suitable to replace Austin (who sadly offered nothing today for the cause). Bringing on Dozzell & Thomas for Johansen & Chair was always going to be a downgrade - especially in terms of creativity. The only substitution that offered a real improvement was bringing on Albert Adomah. As usual he made himself a real nuisance, but his interplay with Hendricks and Sanderson was often wasted as they did not use the ball positively. As the game progressed, and the Posh brought on more defensive players, it was less and less likely we were going to get a goal from a cross. Instead we needed to slice through their lines, but who was available to do this...?

now that the window has been and gone and we didnt get that striker

if Sinclair Armstrong is still around i would put him on the bench and see what he can do for 5-10 minutes

ive heard good things about him

dunno when Gray will be available again

you all know my feelings on Dykes so i wont bore you with bringing them up again but it seems our beloved Charlie is now a spent force

think were too thin up top to cause too much drama to the top 2

maybe its time to play with no forward?

and go something like this

Marshall
Dickie Dunne Barbet
Adomah Field Hendricks Johansen Odubajo
Chair Willock

3-5-2-0

going into a 5-3-2-0 when on backfoot?

I said we needed a striker in the transfer window
Some seemed to not agree with me
Looks like Peterborough are our new bogey team

Not end of the world
Blackburn lost to Swansea tonight in the league

I agree Jim jams
Im not losing any sleep tonight over today’s result
Sod the cup we are trying to get promotion to the premier league and that’s now our priority

Every game matters
Warburton decided not to play our strongest team
He made the changes
If we lose to boro due to today’s confidence kick then his gamble didn’t pay off
I think general feeling is,this result won’t feel so bad if we can beat Middlesbrough in midweek
