Hit them with youthful pace
Day
Williams Ehmer Kilgour Leahy
Hargreaves Liddle
Walker McCormick Tutonda
Hanlan
Young lads with loads to prove and might prove us wrong!
It’s like flogging a dead horse with players like Rodman, Ogogo, Grant, Harries and Baldwin. They have been poor. Go at them with attacking intent and you never know.
If he starts with all our CB’s and Ogogo and Grant I’ll start to question his sanity!
UP THE YOUNG GAS!

Laughable some of these comments were not playing Real Madrid ffs. The team sheff Utd bought down and we gave a solid account of ourselves against are head and shoulders above Peterborough ffs they don't need to be Real Madrid, I have no faith in this team what so ever, can't defend can't score, Ok maybe 4 nill

So far POSH have played majority of their matches this season in a 3-4-1-2 Formation. They score plenty of goals and no guess who the danger man is... JCH 13 league goals. Also a massive threat is Dembele with 5 although his main threat is that he is a trickly little bastard! Despite the threat, we kept these two players pretty quiet when they came to the Mem and instead conceded two wonder goals from midfield. Not sure this will happen this time around with them flying high at home and us really struggling and away. *Please note - I have manually calculated the metrics as opposed to taking them off the stats site as it was counting 'matches' regardless of whether you played 5 mins or 90 mins. This has thrown a few different players into the mix due to smaller amounts of minutes played, but food for thought none the less.JCH 3.0 and Szmodics 2.6 take the most Shots per game Gas comparison: Ayunga 3.7, Nicholson 3.0 and Hanlan 2.0 Key passes per game for them is Ward 2.0 and Dembele 1.8 Gas comparison: Westbrooke 2.2 & OZtumer 1.8Winning the ball back are Hamilton 3.6, Taylor 2.6 and Thompson 2.5 Tackles per game Gas comparison: Hargreaves 4.9, Koiki 2.5, Tutonda 2.5, Harries 2.4, Grant 1.8, Kilgour 1.7 and Baldwin 1.6Clearances per game wise they have Kent 4.6, Beevers 4.3, Mason 3.8 and Thompson 2.2 Gas comparison: Jack Baldwin 5.7, Cian Harries 5.6, Max Ehmer 4.5 and Alfie Kilgour 3.6*Please note - League stats only + Strengths
Creating chances using through balls - Very Strong Finishing scoring chances - Strong Shooting from direct free kicks - Strong Protecting the lead - Strong Stealing the ball from the opposition - Strong Defending set pieces - Strong - Weaknesses
Avoiding individual errors - Weak Defending counter attacks - Weak Peterborough's Style of Play
Attack through the middle Take long shots Short passes Attempt through balls often Opponents play aggressively against them Playing in their own half Non-aggressive Consistent first eleven So... pretty much everything stacks against us here in terms of their strengths and weaknesses, their current form, the fact they score so many goals and the fact that we really haven't settled on our formation / identity despite half the season now having been played. It's not a surprise given that we were trained to play 3-5-2 all preseason and the start of the actual season before switching out managers and very little training time to hand due to the fixture backlog. Maybe its been a little unfair to us in terms of injuries but lets not make excuses for below expectation performances of late. So what shall we do / try on a cold tuesday night under the lights when we really are the underdogs? Try for a nil nil again? Yeah tried it twice - it doesnt work. So in my view we just gotta go balls deep and try to win 4-5 or something. For me I wanna see people playing in their strongest positions possible, that way we have no excuses. Also lets get people playing against their reputation then we can see what they are made of! So here is my suggestion rather than an expect
. | . | . | Day | . | . | . | Williams | . | Kilgour | . | Ehmer | . | Koiki | . | . | . | Grant | . | . | . | . | . | Westbrooke | . | McCormick | . | . | . | Hanlan | . | . | . | Barrett | . | . | . | . | Ayunga | . | . | . |
When attacking drop Grant between Kilgour and Ehmer for a 3 man defensive line Williams and or Koiki race on to support the attack Ayunga is the target man with Hanlan able to use the damn space he is much better working in Give Barrett a chance to live up to his rep of Jan 2020 in his most favourite of places attacking left mid McCormick and Westy box to box and pressing their midfielders What do you think? What would you do? What would I do ? Probably buy my I follow ticket then wish I hadn’t after 10 minutes and then post on here after the game that I can’t believe Tisdale went for 541 again. Hopefully I’m wrong. Well that’s what I’ll probably end up doing. Well assuming Sammy and Oz are still out If I was manager I’d still go with 4231 and play pace and youth in the 3 attacking midfield positions and really have a go at them. Well almost certainly concede at least 1 the way we defend so we really need to go at them and try and score as many as we can as opposed to playing the worst formation imaginable.

Strange results always happen in football, so I'm hoping tomorrow will be one of those games. Ever the optimist!
I'd go for a 4-2-3-1 something like this, with 3-4 players kept higher up the pitch as a constant outlet.
Day Williams Alfie Ehmer Leahy Ogogo Grant Rodman McCormick Barrett/Westbrooke Hanlon Too many teams go defensive against the 'better' teams, but aren't good enough to just defend for 90 mins so get the ball up to the front men at every opportunity and put them on the back foot from kick off. They will just push numbers forward if we sit too deep. I also hope that JCH is as bad as he was in our last game against them and Ehmer is moved back into the middle for the heading battle. Rodman is in based purely on previous seasons as he has had goals in him, but you could easily push Hanlon out there, where is arguably better, and put Ayunga up top. Not sure about the left of the 3, Westbrooke needs to be more decisive with his forward play, but is usually involved more in games than others. Barrett may or may not work but needs a chance and I still wouldn't put a left back in this position (Koiki or Tutonda) without seeing a bit more of them. What is important is that the 2 sitting midfielders do actually sit and protect the defence, which then enables the forward players to play. We’ve got so many players who can play this system it beggars belief that Tisdale played the formation he did last two games with players out of position. I worked it out Saturday night as 8 players available who could fit those 3 attacking mid positions.

I’m expecting us to get absolutely battered. Me too. Dembele is going to make mincemeat of our defence and JCH will finish off what’s left.

Oxford's Karl Robinson is suggesting on Bristol Live we played a diamond in front of a back 5 which can apparently cause opponents problems, no wonder we played as if hadn't a clue what we were supposed to be doing, they probably didn't once PT tried to explain the formation!

Tutonda hopefully as he does have a lot of class when he's on song.Maybe one or two returnees which would be nice.

I think we need to be aggressive with an attack minded setup. Rather than playing 8 defenders and losing 3:0, let’s lose 5:3 but get at them. It’s called entertainment , and will give us a confidence that we can actually score goals. The whole point of the game is to get the ball in the net. Let’s work on that as a priority for the rest of the season. One day we may actually sign some real defenders, which will turn a negative goal difference into a positive , ergo top half team. Show the oppo no respect, we’re not playing Real Madrid FFS.
3 nil Peterborough.

PT will probably pick the same formation and same line up (apart from brining Upson back in). We will be completely overrun from the first minute and our only shot on target will come towards the end when the game is all but over.

This is the formation that has won us games under PT so I too am baffled as to why he changed it just because of a few injuries. Yes of course we were going to badly miss Nicholson and Oz but at least keep the same system that was working. We have the likes or Rodman, Barrett, Koki and Hargreaves who could take their places in the short term. Not brilliant I know but surely that would be better than changing formation and playing players out of position?

If we go there we a defensive set up looking to sneak a draw then I think we’ll get battered. Gotta be honest I’m quite worried about tonight 😱

Definitely got to just go for it tonight IMO.
Sit back with a flat back 7 as we have the last two games & Posh’s quality will pick us off and see them stroll to victory.
Regardless of whether Nicholson & Ozzy are back, let’s at least let their defenders know they’ve been in a game at FT.
I can’t stand to watch another 90 mins of Hanlan up front on his own being supported by Ehmer, Baldwin, Grant etc. from midfield...
