After both sides' dismal exits from the FA Cup on Saturday, it will be interesting to see how they will react to their managers' respective hair-dryers, etc.
Posh have Wootton and Petrucci on loan from Man U, whilst Forest have Ward on loan from Norwich - another interesting prospect (if they play, which I suspect they all will).
If Posh can prevent Forest from scoring early on, the fans will get on their back, and I can see a win for the Posh at a ground where we tend to do well. Consequently, I am going to brave the Forest guillotine, stick my neck out and predict a 2-0 Posh win - UTP!

Do you ever predict anything other than a Peterborough win? You must be wrong a lot of times
Considering that you have won only one game more than us, the same could be said for yourself,

Maybe true but I hardly ever predict a win for Forest at the moment...

Ah, but do you predict a win for Forest tomorrow?

I'll stick my neck out and predict a Forest win, though my blind loyalty has been tested lately and Posh did win at Cardiff. There's also the prospect of George Boyd coming back to haunt us again...
But if the manager gets his selection right and we can play as a team (haven't done for more than brief spells this season) we should be able to shade it at home,

Fair comment - my hope though is that we will win or secure a second draw against one of the Championship draw specialists. Above all, I hope it will be a cracking two-sided game of football.

I'd be surprised if Forest won to be honest

For anyone not at the game and away from radio commentary, the Forest team is:
Darlow, Jara Reyes, Halford, Ward, Harding, Cohen (captain), Gillett, Lansbury, Majewski, Cox, Sharp
Subs: Evtimov, Moussi, McGugan, Greening, Moloney, Derbyshire, Blake (who is apparently a Scottish U21 midfielder from the academy).
Dex reportedly took a knock yesterday but present at the match.
Peterborough: Olejnik, Brisley, Bostwick, Boyd, Rowe (c), Newell, Ferdinand, Little, Petrucci, Wootton, Gayle
Subs: Day, Alcock, McCann, Knight-Percival, Gordan-Hutton, Mendez-Laing, Richens
