I like your thread starts GB. Very good. 
In fact. The job of starting every one is yours 😀

I agree 👏

 

However, MK's abstract titles to the match day threads were sometimes amusing

First the sunbeds

 

Now the match threads

I NEVER in my whole live have done or even considered all this sunbed rubbish  (That's not a thing at my favourite holiday destination: ENGLAND)

Thanks a lot. I do enjoy the matchday threads, but I don't want to steal the task from anybody. I'm happy, if I am allowed to do it now and then.

[KrolMong]

I’m leaving Bannan out tomorrow.

Stockdale

Ihekwe, Heneghan, Palmer

Hunt, Vaulks, Adeniran, Byers, Johnson

Windass, Gregory

If it’s a right game, I’m swapping the midfield three for Bakinson, Bannan and Dele.

I'd go with that,  except I'd play Bakinson for Vaulks

I think there is a compliment in there some where 

Part of the modern world innit, middle aged white fella being pushed aside by both a foreigner and a lass all in the name of equality and diversity

Can we share the job? 

The least thing I want is to get a job in the name of equality and diversity!

I'm happy to be your apprentice or backup

[Andyben]

His last apprentice was @Reesh do you want to go down that road?

So many options in the midfield 3 and agree would leave Bannan out.  Bakinson and particularly Byers did enough to warrant a start but think Bakinson may be better as a sub.  

Key will be Hunt as he looked absolutely pooped when he went off on Saturday so may see a start for James.

I appreciate Germans don't do irony - invasions of course they are good at - less good at sustaining them 😄

I taught him how to pretend to work but actually be on social media - he got an A* for that

Nowadays we are even crap at invasions. 

Give me a few days to find anything we are actually good at.

Wednesday: Dennis Adeniran could come back into contention having been rested for the win over Charlton on Saturday.
Michael Smith continues on the road to recovery but the Posh clash will come too soon.

[The Internet]

Sneaky feeling that this will be the first time we see Bannan rested or used as a sub.

I'd like to see a midfield 3 of Byers, Adeniran and Bakinson. Think there's a nice balance there with Byers the defensive mid, Adeniran the attacking midfielder and Bakinson just ranging about and policing everything.

But it's likely that I'm completelty wrong and we'll see Valuks, Bannan and Bashiru start again.

[Reesh]

4pm should be plenty time, it's about a 2 hour run

[Germanbird]

Weather doesn't look so nice (although we do need rain)

 

[Owling_Wolf]

I can't believe that no-one's mentioned that it should be 'Match Fred'.   🙄

Attention to detail!  🙂👍

That's what you get when you allow bloody foreigners and newbies, who don't know the rules, to open the match fred.

Match Preview: Posh v Sheffield Wednesday | Peterborough United - The Posh

 

[JBO]

Lots of trains cancelled or massively delayed due to overhead wire damage at King's Cross 

 

We've managed to jump on 2 hour trundler going via Lincoln 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

If planning on going A1 via M18 then the M18 is closed at J2 both ways and has been all day.  

Diversion is off M18 at A1 roundabout and back on but all routes are very busy.   I was delayed about 40 mins this morning. 

[HappyOwl]

I’m planning on setting off into Stalis about half seven have some kebab innit then sit in a bar and get bladdered.

Once I’ve finished my pre match drinks round the pool.

Come on Wednesday 🙌🙌🙌🙌

"In February 2011, Posh ran out 5-3 winner against the Owls at the Weston Homes Stadium thanks to goals from Craig Mackail-Smith (2), George Boyd (2) and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing"

They only managed 5 goals in 58 games between them for us

[pook]

To be fair, H, none of 'em ever lined up against a centerhalf pairing of Michael Morrison and Mark Reynolds whilst at Wednesday.

Awful performance that night.

[Tank_Owl2,0]

TBH I want a win but Id take a draw now.

I think the team selection could be one where we look to stay in the game for first 70mins and then go for it later on (assuming we arent forced into a change earlier). When I mean still in the game btw I dont mean sitting back and defending, I mean being pragmatic about how gung-ho we are. 

Id like to see Byers, Adeniran and Bakinson start with FDB to come on later. Windass and Gregory up top, but if we are still nursing one or both, Id be OK with Paterson for 60mins.

I fear the worse tonight. Next 2 games will tell us a lot.

James at LCB works for me

What shape is that going to be? Gregory up front on his own?

Not surprised about Bannan being on the bench 

[Tank_Owl2,0]

Hmmm interesting selection. Windass to come on at 60mins then.

[Germanbird]

Didn't expect that lineup. Looking forward to the game

1:2 for the Owls (Vaulks, Gregory)

[mkowlthesexynewversion]

Be interesting, I suspect Saturday took a hell of lot physically out the players. No Hunt at all 

Be interesting to see how James fits in. I guess he could swap him and Johnson around that side.

A lot of midfield power to come on, though whether we are still in the game at that stage. Never convinced by Paterson starting, understand the rotation with Windass though.

Moore is always going to throw caution into the mix as opposed to the wind. We know what he is about.

Hunt was absolutely out on his feet Saturday

Yep, I should get there in time for the second half.  Fucking ridiculous.  And the train’s so fucking rammed animal rights knobs would be complaining if we were cattle.

Windass’ knee is heavily strapped. Maybe why he’s not starting?

A lot of these players wear tape around their hamstrings or knees now… They wear things underneath their socks, ankle strappings. With Josh it’s been looked upon because it’s visible, but if it helps him in games with added support then that’s fine.

“He’s fit, he’s good, he’s looking for the matches and the gamete to cross over that threshold and find that consistency.”

[Wollongong Owl]

Many years ago I went to Peterborough with a few mates in the back of an empty furniture van. We were rolled that much we came out looking like the teletubbies, which is why, i think, the wife often refers to me as Tinky Winky.

Shiit refereeing AGAIN.
