What do you think the Posh team should be?
A winning Peterborough United team that needs changing for the visit of the slick Superhoops
Peterborough United seek to build on a vital midweek win by seeing off QPR in a Championship fixture at the Weston Homes Stadium tomorrow (October 23, 3pm).
Men to watch
Unsurprisingly, QPR’s men to watch are in attacking areas. Posh need to be way of long-shot specialist Ilias Chair, who is expected to plan in the number 10 role. Chair famously scored four times from outside of the box in one month while playing for Stevenage and scored a sensational winner against Blackburn in midweek from the same distance, not quite Jack Taylor but very handy indeed.
Lyndon Dykes has also hit a rich vain of form, he is expected to start up-front and has just comes off a four-games scoring streak for club and country which included goals against Preston, Israel, Faroe Islands and Blackburn. The forward line is packed with pace with Chris Willock, brother Joe, and Albert Adomah also in the side. Rob Dickie is a leader at the back for a side you wouldn’t be surprised to be close to where they are now come May.
Free-flowing at Posh ends of the pitch
QPR will certainly pose a danger at the top end of the field. They have scored 24 goals in their 13 games this season, which is second only to Fulham’s tally of 29. They have, however, let in 20, which is six more than any other side in the top 6 and even more than Barnsley, Hull and Derby who occupy the bottom three. In fact, only Posh, Cardiff and Reading have conceded more. It makes it all the more important that Posh are prepared to have a go at this game as it might be difficult to contain the Rs but they should be confident enough that they can cause them problems.
QPR also have a lacking away record, taking just 7 points from 6 games and conceding 13, one more than they have scored.
