wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I'm not sure the personnel will change the way we approach the game too much tactically. We do still have Pulis as manager and I'm sure when Peterborough have the ball, it may well look like 4-5-1. We just need to make sure those attacking players are put to best use when we do have the ball. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Peterborough lineup: O'Malley Naismith White Taffazolli Lafferty Ward Reed Woodyard O'Hara Dembele Toney No Tomlin or Maddison. Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,776 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Tony Pulis in attack-oriented team shock! Let's hope the players put in a dynamic performance, to underline the merits of going for the jugular. It'll be interesting to see how well Britt does alongside another striker and natural wide players. He's unlikely to have a lack of support or service today. Link to post Share on other sites
Adam P 300 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Radio said the club have confirmed it as 3-4-1-2, Mcnair and VLP wingbacks, Fletcher playing just behind Britt and Gestede. Link to post Share on other sites

About as defensive as that line-up could have been made... Should've known! ;) Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 George at centre-back, ouch. I still remember the Brum game when he was there with Downing to his left as a wing-back and it was painful to watch Juke win every header. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,229 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Sounds like it's Tav on the left and VLP on the right, McNair must be in the middle with Leadboots. Link to post Share on other sites
Essuuaitch 330 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 i feel a bit guilty picking fault as it is a definative move to put out an attacking line up. BUT....my actual first thought when i read down the names was ....why Gestede as well . its lopsided imo if he were to put say Saville or Wing in instead of Rudy i think it would have a much more efficieint shape to it. Maybe, being synical, its a cunning ploy by Pulis to self distruct with top heavy personnel in order to reinforce his defensive strategies after it backfires. Still lets see how it pans out ,hopefully im wrong in those thoughts and we win handsomely. Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It's Tav LM and VLP RM but the radio did call the front 3 correct Fletcher's at #10 Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It's Tav LM and VLP RM but the radio did call the front 3 correct Fletcher's at #10 It's lwb and rwb for sure, we're only playing 3 at the back. Good volley from McNair but it flashes wide. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 you can tell Dimi is rusty, he's just a let a dangerous ball flash completely across goal while hesitating to come for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Brunners 7,952 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 VAN LA PARRA PUT IN A REALLY GOOD CORNER. GUYS IT HAPPENED. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 That 1 corner from VLP might be one of the best deliveries I've seen all season, might be a fluke so holding off on calling him the new great set piece hope. Link to post Share on other sites
