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

feel even better were out now

that will be a massive defeat for the posh

Disappointing to miss out on such a big game against Man City but if it ultimately leads to Premiership football and 2 games against them next season that will be a bigger prize.

If we go back to yesterday I thought we created chances and dominated the possession, When Johansen and Chair were replaced our chances disappeared because those 2 were the most creative players on the pitch. The disappointment was we couldnt stick the ball in the net from any of the chances we had. Both of the goals we conceded were soft and their 2nd was awful defending compounded by poor goalkeeping as  I thought Marshall should have done better.

Peterborough was a game to forget as we move onto a very tough league game against a very good and revitalised Middlesbrough.

I thought we needed an attacking player that was either a goal scorer or a player that added something more up front.

IMO Dykes and Austin are both too static and amble around which big defenders have no problem coping with.  I also find that for such a big guy Dykes seems to lack the physicality to bully his marker. It's difficult to criticise Charlie but he's a shadow of his former self and because he's unable to perform like he did he lets the opposition get to him. Both play better when they are alongside Willock who is so mobile and the opposition need to double mark. 

I never thought Andre Gray was the right player to bring in because his goalscoring record was poor but being a mate of Warburton it wasn't a surprise when he arrived. Watford must be laughing that they found somebody to take him.Personally I'd never have signed him and from what I've seen he adds little to our front line. If Gray was any good then he would have forced either Austin or Dykes out of the team but rarely do we see him as a starter.  How did we not have a return clause in his contract. I dont rate  Gray and would rank him alongside Tomer Hemed and ask, why?

My preference as I've stated elsewhere would have been a hard working pacey striker like Dwight Gayle but by the same token if we wanted to play with a couple of big men then I'd have gone with  a pacey brute like Keenan Davis of Villa who roughs up his defender and who was available on loan before Forest got him.

Shows that Bournemouth are low on confidence. We need to keep moving forwards whilst they are having a wobble.
