    For most of the season so far? There was no urgency about them, nothing to impress with a very poor side. I'd hwe thought they' d have been desperate to avenge their home defeat.

    They play an open style which suits our play and in a head to head we're better than them, but they're better than us at defeating less gifted sides who press hard, defend deep and hit the opposition on the break.

    Simple. They haven't played us every week.

    If they had, they'd be rock bottom with no points, and would hate us more than they already do.

    The guys on NTT20 have been saying Peterborough are in a false position for months. Sounds like they fluked a few wins early on, but have been steadily reverting to mid table obscurity ever since.

    Took pretty much every chance they got at the start of the season and that was never going to continue and their results have regressed to the mean.
