Peterborough coming to town at the weekend, and my new best mate Hudders is suspended! How to Cope eh?
I just hope they all come back from their Cristmas Party in Ireland in one piece. Can't see MM let things get out of hand though. Bellamy seems to like these team mates though so I wouldn't worry if they decide to have a couple rounds of golf.
I wouldn't worry Red, Connolly can move inside with Kev now fit or as someone else said, bring Nugent back in. There is a reason Posh are bottom and we should have enough man for man to comfortably take all 3 pts however, they pushed boro all the way on Sat so we'll have to earn it
Two things in our favour I think. 1. The team don't feel any preasure about the "Record" thing and revel in their 100% record, and won't let it go easy, and:.... 2. Because of that same record teams are slowly becoming resigned to not wanting to face us in our home ground, so are not 100% mentally before we even start. If we win that and then go to Leicester and take points, then Palace won't want to come either and that suits me.
I think teams, particularly from the lower part of the division are more likely to come just to defend and try to get us on the break just like Wednesday. We have always struggled in such cases although with Noone's pace and trickery we have more options to overcome this than before. Peterboro will test this and then it will be interesting to see how better sides like Palace and Millwall approach it. Palace will attack as that is how they are set up if all fit. Millwall have taken the defensive option in the last 2 seasons and we have struggled. An interesting last 4 games of 2012 ahead.
