The Posh face a tough opening home match against a Dons side buoyed up by two wins out of two and the prospect of playing Man U in the next round of the League Cup.
Posh are also missing two key players - Gabby Zakuani and Jack Baldwin.
We usually beat the Dons at home, so I'm semi-confident of a win; and am looking forward to the game.
Good luck the Posh!

To win on Saturday, the team needs to start with and maintain tempo, and not rely upon a Fergie wake up call at half-time. The players need to take on that responsibilty.
UTP!

This will be a litmus test for the young players we have, character wise,

I think the Dons are better this season than last and will do well. Also you have key defenders out.
So, Posh 1-2 MKD

Hopefully not, Don. You have a toughie at Crawley.

A very young Posh team, yet we still had enough to blow them away.
I can only see us improving as the season goes on.

Definitely, Scary.
A cracking opening home game between two decent sides, with Vassell coming on as a sub and scoring two goals. Having scored the winner too against Rochdale, could he be Britt's successor?
Captain Jack Payne was great, and I enjoyed the tenacity of Washington and new boy/terrier Taylor: and new goalie Alnwick made a wonder save when it was 0-0.
We'r looking better than we did at the start of last season. Bring on the Blades.

Good game.
We look a decent bet for top 6 again, especially if we add another striker.
Don't think we have enough quality for automatic promotion but hopefully it will be a more entertaining season than last where the football was poor for a lot of it.
Dons looked like they usually do. Tidy, decent side, always miss too many chances because they never have prolific strikers.

Four bids made this week apparently, expect to see someone pretty soon, this team could develop into real challengers.

Will be interesting to see who they are - probably young, hungry and from the lower leagues, unless someone say like Fleetwood's Sarcevic is lured to us - a playmaker and dead-ball specialist, who scored 14 goals last season.
