Match Day Thread Peterborough United vs QPR

It is all about managing “expectations”.

After our finish to last season, our signings and our pre-season results, our expectations were probably hugely inflated.

Currently we are possibly overly pessimistic.

I do not think that we are at the level of automatic promotion, but I still think that the play offs are possibly an ambitious but realistic goal.

However, to achieve this we need consistency.

Let’s stay positive!

 

Didn’t have a good view of it but the McCallum one in the first half looked a good shout too.

When the team is **** I think our memories of the officials’ performance are harsher but a few times when we were already struggling to play with any sort of tempo he’d bring the play back for a free kick in a neutral area to be taken from the exact blade of grass he demanded or give a questionable decision to the defending team which killed the game for another minute.

Would like to see both teams’ disallowed offside goals. Theirs particularly looked fine.

 

Only just seen highlights.
Dykes and Austin should have scored after keeper spills.
Their first - lucky deflection.
Their second. Good goal but Dunne too slow and Dieng got something to it. On another day, it goes wide.
It's just typical QPR. Play so well against the likes of WBA and then lose to relegation fodder. Onwards.

 

Highlights don’t cover their disallowed goal but that’s piss poor from Austin to allow himself to be off for ours. Offered very, very little apart from missing an open goal and costing us with the offside. Not that Dykes was much better.

 

big slump coming if last 2 seasons are anything to go by.

 

Losing to Posh, bad? Not good, but then we lost 4-0 at Scunthorpe when we last won this League if memory serves. Bournemouth currently 6 points clear at the top of the Championship, only managed a 0-0 at Posh, and we weren't exactly smacked yesterday. Don't think Posh are any walkover at home anyway, but this League rarely has any team the top teams are guaranteed to beat. It was a disappointing result yesterday and we should have had at least a point, but with Field and Wallace due back within 2 weeks, Albert having now played nearly 2 full games with excellent performances at RWB, and players such as Willock only on the Bench, I don't see any reason to be too down. 7th with the same points as 5th ain't a catastrophe.

 

As the 1st comment says, 'Pity the team never turned up'...

 

Read somewhere theirs was disallowed for pushing by their striker with the E.European name. The QPR+ guys said Offside. I had no idea!

 

But a decent finish. In 5th if the progression in end of season position is maintained. Then Champions next season if we don't win the play-offs this.

 

Lino was flagging for offside but I thought we had at least one player on the line. I’d had a drink though.

 

I think if we don’t go up this season the quality players in our team will all be off.

 

That applies to most teams in the Championship, only those with parachute payments can probably afford to retain their best players but if PL teams want them there's no chance of keeping them...

 

Amen...

 

Yes, some may. But then we should get good money for them to build again. We improved position wise in the League 4 places up, after selling Eze.

 

Barbet to Dickie to Dieng to Dickie to Dunne to Ball to Dickie to Dieng to Dunne to Ball to their striker.

 

if you freeze frame their winner (yes I am sad), Dembele is offside. I am 90% sure. Irrelevant as not given as offside.
Win some you lose some. Why can't we draw some?

 

Probably explains a lot...

 

Yep agree, recorded the match this afternoon as they show 15min of each EFL championship match & yes he was offside only just but if it went to var it would have disallowed

 

I am surprised it wasn't mentioned before, including by any TV dude.
