Another day, another day of transfer rumours, with the Posh trying to out-influence prospective players' agents with our track-record of launching good young players' careers. Regrettably, the agents are only in it for the money...
A benefit, though, of any player signing for a club against his agent's exhortations is that that player will be commited to the club he is joining. Time now for Scott Hogan et al to show that commitment ...
Thorney, I'm not confident about this one at all. If you're offering a point now I'll take it.
We have lost both Ajose and the idiot Ranger...16 goals between them which is a big loss. We've signed a lad from Brighton who has yet to score a league goal so we can't expect much from him. We've tried to get Ngoo from Liverpool on loan to replace Ranger as target man but that doesn't seem to be happening.
We have a good home record but this is based on scoring goals as our defence is very suspect. Tomorrow I can see us conceding but I think we'll struggle for goals.
I think you're playing us at a good time.
That's good news for us, Don, although you may also be playing us at a good time.
It will be interesting to see how George Barker does for you - he will be eager to score on his debut.
It will also be interesting to see if Nicky Ajose scores for us, although I suspect that he will have developed a soft-spot for the Robins and will not oblige.
All will be revealed tomorrow, in what I hope will be an entertaining encounter.
C'mon the Posh!
Lower league fans are a different breed - always full of trepidation and caution...! Refreshingly different to attitudes in the upper echelons.
It's tough to call - Swindon have been very up and down this season, despite the strong home record. So with no real confidence in any prediction, I'll say 1-1.
You're right, George. When Posh were in the Championship, I had to battle the arrogance of the big club supporters.
1-1 would probably be a satisfactory result for Posh and Robins fans. Of course, if both teams were in the Championship ...
Ajose will score, that's for sure. All our ex players do, sometimes twice!
I'd certainly take 1-1...shall we do that?
I lived for 6 months in Peterborough in the late 60's. Had digs in a place called Stanground. But, although being a Town supporter, I used to go to their home games just to get out of the house. Since then, I have considered the 2 clubs to be almost identical. Highs & lows for each of us, but each club you would be proud to support. I would settle for a draw today, but rather be beaten if it means that Rotherham don't go up!
Morning TP, the sun is shining, we turned in a great performance live on Sky, 7 points clear and your lot will do well do get a draw.Have a good day.!!
You must be smiling, TF. Impressive score against Derby. Promotion beckons ...
2-1 - listened to that one on the radio. Justice not done, confirming that this is not to be Posh's season. Dominant, but the victims of two defensive lapses. My main irk, though, is that Tomlin got himself sent off again - what a pl***er!
Oh well, we'll just have to win the FA Cup - that's if we can get past Kidderminster on Tuesday
Unlucky TP - defensive lapses are normally our speciality
Plenty of time to go in this league, and you never know, we might see you again in the play-offs.
Good luck for the rest of the season!
By all accounts you were hard done by, particularly in view of your dominance of the second half. Good luck against Kidderminster.
See you again in the JPT, you may well get your revenge then. As SG says, still a way to go.
Thanks guys - let's win AutoProm 1st and 2nd!
