I remember listening to Talk Sport in 2010 with Adrian Durham presenting when we hammered Posh, he would not give out any more score after it got to about 3 or 4 goals to us. We beat them 5-1 at their place
Think best had to be signed today and his papers with the FA to feature tomorrow. So unless they have done that and he hasn't been announced he can't play.

A must win game, seeing as its our game in hand & we are starting to slip down the league.
However, I fear the players are running on fumes & with the stupid decision not to sign a striker of note & as I type still no word of Leon Best signing before tomorrow, I fear we will draw a blank in the goals column & Posh will win 2-0.
You do make me chuckle Golfie. Slip down the league

Why ?? what have I said that is incorrect ?? 2 weeks ago we were 4th, we are now 6th. If we lose tomorrow night Peterborough are just 3 points behind us. Our next 2 league games are then against Portsmouth & Blackburn. Lose those 2 games & then we could be down to 8th. I wasn't at Scunthorpe, but I have seen the previous 2 games & they didn't install me with confidence & I fear that with the injuries piling up & no cover for Magennis then we will start losing games.
Sorry golf it was the starting to slip down the league that got me. We've just lost our 1st game in 8 we was always going to drop at least 1 place if we'd lost that game. You said it was our game in hand after tonight we will still have a game in hand over 4 teams around us. I'll admit we do really need 7 points from the next 3 home games because I can't see us getting hardly anything from the next 3 aways. If we can get through next 6 games and get 10 points I'd be happy. Don t really like doing ifs, but if we win tonight we open up an 8 point gap to 7th with a game in hand on a few and only 3 points from Shrewsbury so we'd be in a better position than 2 weeks ago.
2-0 to us, Bauer header to get us going and big Josh seals the win.
Obviously all matches are important, but this feels like an especially important one as a) it will mean a nice gap between the top six and the rest of the division which will allow us to concentrate on the teams above us rather than those behind, b) how we respond to losses will be incredibly important. The Scunthorpe loss was disappointing but acceptable given the circumstances however we can't let it turn into a bad run.
I think saying there's "no promotion in prospect" is a bit harsh, we're pretty comfortably in the playoffs at the moment and on Saturday we had sights trained on the automatic spots before losing to a decent team who scored a couple of decent goals.
This season is a significant upgrade on the couple before (although that takeover would still be lovely!).

Yes, far too early to write off automatic, or assume Wigan (and Blackburn) are certs.
I remember the Parky season where Leeds and us stormed into a strong position at the top, but both of us stuttered, with us limping into the playoffs and Leeds just hanging on to automatic
If Best is to sign he will not be eligible for tonight

It's odd with Best, not really sure what we're doing with him. I know he would have been massively short of match fitness when he first joined us but he's been training with us for a while now and I would have thought a heavily appearances-based deal would have been possible which might have allowed him to play in the Checkatrade matches.
Solly out tonight too and no one back, so I guess same team as at Scunthorpe but with Dijksteel in at right back...
The injury list and the ridiculous decision not to sign a striker, despite getting Novak, Ajose, Watt and Vetokele off the books one way or another, could really derail the promising start

Would be more than happy with that. Definitely makes sense to use players like Aribo more. Dodoo and Karlan haven't staked a claim so good idea to give Joe a go and allow JFC to play further forward. He's already shown himself to be a goal threat.

Solly is a doubt for tonight as well...
