I doubt you will find many Albion fans who agree with you. It most certainly will not require a major miracle to cause an upset at the moment.
It might require a major miracle for us to score.
A bad few weeks for us in the league but plenty still to play for.
I have a feeling this weekend will be a welcome distraction for the players and I wouldn't be surprised if we play well.
Getting a result will be another matter but if we can score first then you never know.
Thanks, Alouion, for giving me/us a glimmer of hope - our defence is our weak point, so if your lads are not scoring that's a plus point for us. On paper, you have some powerful players. Let's (Posh fans) hope that they don't start scoring again on Saturday.
I hope we do play well, Righteous - that's important, also as a confidence booster for the league.
Albions main problem is the 50 yard gap between the forward (Rondon) and the rest of the team.
The ball goes up to Rondon often enough. But by the time the rest of the team have closed up that 50yd gap, he (needless to say) has usually lost the ball. One day, it is hoped, the gaffer will realise Rondon needs at least one other person playing alongside him!

We've got no proper full backs and very little pace in defence. No creativity or pace in midfield and we tend to play with one giant lumbering striker up front on his own.
I think Posh will be OK!
We played poorly at Bristol, yet it was one of the most comfortable 1-0 wins I have ever seen. These are the league below.
On paper we should win easily, but who knows, in the cup anything can happen
And let's not forget despite people thinking we shocking at the moment. We have just 3 losses in 13
I think we will cause you a few problems with our expansive style but suspect you will kill us at set plays as we don't defend them too well at the best of times, let alone against a team of giants.
We will probably play well and miss chances and you will score from a couple of corners or free-kicks and win 2-0.
If we can play like we did against Newcastle, we will surely win.
IF.

Let's not forget we've had one shot on target in our last 3 matches, only 2 wins in our last 12 (including the mighty Bristol City)...

As far as goals from open play is concerned, Albion are bottom of the Premier League. As far as goals from set pieces are concerned, we're top of the Premier League.
Fairly obvious where our chances are coming from.
We're not particularly good at defending from set pieces.
It will be interesting to see if Berahino plays. If he does, you'll definitely win. He did wonders for us on loan when we were last in the Championship.
About 4K+ Posh supporters are heading for the game. The usual 600-900 away following make a hell of a lot of noise, so the 4K+ could sway things ...
Whatever happens, enjoy your day at WBA.
Thank you on behalf of those travelling
Sadly, I am "between jobs" so have not been able to afford to travel myself. Wish it had been on the Box!
It will be interesting to see if your new boy Sandro (from QPR) will be playing.
Not sure if it was his medical or agreeing terms that dragged on, but he wasn't registered in time to play today.
Where's all the Baggies faithful then?
Hiding as their tin-pot joke club looks to get beaten by minnows Peterborough,loooooooooooossssseeerrrsss!!!
Hey, less of the minnows.
Wow lads, well done! Berahino nearly beat us, but justice appears to have been done at the end.
We're not good at Tuesday nights. Our next game might be different.
I'm a happy man
Well done Posh - you more than deserved the draw.
Why the lack of positivity Baggie lads? Keep the faith !
Remember that we will have Sandra available for the replay and we will observe his silky, creative skills at a scorching pace creating dozens of chances for our magnificent strikers, Lambert & Sicknote.....
Oops, just noticed, Sandra is a defensive midfielder - just what we want right now. You could write a book of how carp is the current management.
Probably put paid to Lambert as a viable option up front...
I forecast a draw.
And then I never bet on it.
So Tony Pulis isnt the only mug in town!
Probably put paid to Poco as a defender...
Wouldn't it be a great if we had something to be positive about?
We had that short spell against Newcastle, Stoke and Chelsea where we thought we had turned the corner but now, after four carp performances on the bounce, what's our future under this clown of a HC ?
We're told we cannot sign anyone under the FFP rules so where does it leave us - a probable relegation battle if things don't improve methinks.
Interesting few months coming up for our 'tone...
