League 1 - Peterborough vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread

[hallamblue]

Absolutely brilliant performance again today . Please let this happen !!

I think if the other two teams hadn’t got such an easy run in ( compared to us) I think we’d be promoted by now. We just must keep winning .

[ashfordblue]

I think we will beat Barnsley, Exeter & Fleetwood. I think Plymouth will drop points at Port Vale and Burton they won't be easy games, and Sheff Wed matches against Shrewsbury and Derby won't be a cakewalk, I can see Derby beating Wednesday to stay in the playoff places.

[Andym]

Great performance. For 10 minutes or so they had a lot of possession (at 2-0), and Walton made some excellent saves. But we were dominant for the rest.
Huge thanks to Liz (Hallamblue) for use of her gold card. Went with brother in law, a Villa fan.

[hallamblue]

I’m SO pleased you got to see that win Andy
What did your brother in law think ?

He really enjoyed it. He’s waiting to find out about surgery for a tumour on a kidney so it’s been good to meet up and help take his mind off it.

Quite speechless earlier when checking the result. Clean sheet & 3 goals @ Posh. Fantastic stuff by KMcK & Co, and great to read that Freddie bagged a beauty.

I know the older lot sometimes bang on too much about the distance past, but its all got that early 80’s feel about it ——>> Ipswich Town just winning and being lethal. Different league I KNOW, but its just great seeing the big wins. Very impressed with the 3-0 away win.

Bring on Baaaaaaaaaaaarnsley.

I think the Posh fan who ran down the steps and spat at Wes Burns after he’d scored, has been arrested. Bloody good job !

The absolute worst thing in my book. I hope they throw the key away.

[Charnwood]

If we can repeat that level of performance on Tuesday at Barnsley I can’t see his they would live with us. That was way above a League 1 level of performance today and McKenna’s tactics and substitutions were Masterclass.

10 second poem………

NORWICH……. 3-0 home defeat.
IPSWICH ….., 3-0 away win.

(Its one of those poems that doesn't rhyme)

He certainly won’t be following Posh again, filthy b*stard.

Can’t wait for Tuesday. Bring it on.

Shame it’s probably cost Posh their play off place but it could also help put Derby in a position where they cant afford to lose at Sheffield Wednesday on the final day and Posh needing to win at Barnsley as a final throw of the dice.

Yep 100%

I have this feeling now and again that we mustn’t talk too soon………. But got to feel genuinely confident about this team. Today MUST be the perfect gee-up for Barnsley.

[valleyroad]

Town going up, no doubts for me.
Massive result today.
St Mirren top 6 and Town up, nice wee season for me

[Shed on tour]

What a performance. Fantastic goal by Freddie and at last I’ve seen a win at Peterborough. Still work to do so won’t start celebrating yet but the line is getting closer and closer. COYB!!! Thought the support was fantastic as well.

No chance. I'd love to know how things things turn out, though it would probably make me rather angry. A caution, maybe community service. Nothing happens to these people unless they have previous and they don't have previous because no one can be arsed to change them!

[shabba]

Fantastic today, we really seemed up for it - in a word HUNGRY!

We wanted it bad - you could tell, high energy, so many second balls won, battling performance.

Even more of a huge game on Tuesday now!

Well done lads !

What a piece of scum, at least he looks the part and was easy to ID, ugly tw*t. Hopefully Chaplin won’t contract any nasty disease.

To use the young guys favourite word —-> was “carnage” in that away end when Chaplins goal went in for 2-0. Anyone from on here falling down those stairs to the barriers?

[Denny61]

The team are focused now on 190 min or so of high octane football..to get them kieran and us to the promised land...mckenna will now tell them..its in yer hands..play Total football at Barnsley. High tempo all out attacking football..and achieve what this team set out to do on in August last year ..don't give Barnsley time to think or breathe and just smother them and get those goals and 3 points to take back to Portman rd for the mother of all parties and the rebirth of a sleeping giant ..let it rip...a néw dawn is just apon us ..let's make this happen..COYB

Had Chaplin to score first goal with 58 minutes played in the Prediction League. If not for Burns that would have come to pass.

Caught the goals, saw some game action by way of replay coverage and above all else to take a 3 - 0 win from today's game and opponents has got to be highly commendable. Tired of the reiteration but if not for Plymouth and / or SWFC, we'd be all but a Championship level team already. We got over 90 points before a season's not even completed and don't know if we'll be promoted or not. I mean what the f*ck..

If we win three more games that's remaining this club name will be promoted, it's within distance but Barnsley will be busting their asses when we face them as they got a chance also of automatic promotion. That could be the most pivotal game for us of the entire season, including all that's gone before.

I thought Town's pressing intensity was superb. The fitness levels are very good for this stage of the season. Some good stuff must be going on behind the scenes. Yep, repeat that Tuesday we will be OK
