The arrival of JCH and his Peterborough United team next Saturday is a mouth-watering prospect.
ITV4 at 1945 on Wednesday 16th November is the warm-up event.
Salford City welcome The Posh in a First Round FA cup replay.
Will Grant McCann field his first team squad in this fixture?
A slight suspicion exists in my mind that most supporters of The Gas will hope so.
With luck the game will be a blood and thunder encounter that goes to extra time.
Is this clutching at straws? Maybe.

Hopefully they cop the effects of a Wednesday night away fixture before Saturday at 3, as we did after Hillsborough straight into Derby! A full weeks rest up for our lads, zero excusesšš»

Will he still be able to play after being called up to the Jamaican World Cup squad?

Lets hope 3 away games in a row for them tells its toll. We need to start better! Reckon we could/should start with the back 3 as they play that way too. Not sure Sinclair should start RWB tho.

Peterborough are that perennial ājust a bit better than usā side we rarely fare well against.
Not the team a light year ahead whom we are a banana skin for. Nor an equal footing. They generally do what we do, just better and faster, hence very difficult games.

Amazing turnaround.
Fleetwood Town are the DRAW specialists in EFL One with a mean defence. Their late goal on Saturday from the "very lucky not to be booked early - what was the ref thinking?" Rooney Boy was their 10th league draw of the season.
Up next are Posh. Only One DRAW in the league this season. Three Wins and Six Defeats. They score plenty but their defence is far from watertight. Expect an open game. We may need to score THREE goals to win this match. Just Do It.

They have won twice as many games as us in the league but lost seven times, the same as us. Their one draw suggests that could be the result on Saturday , but their record shows they can be beaten.

We need to be realistic. While we think we have a good Manager & some good players and are putting together some fair to good results, the fact remains we are still not far enough up our League. The reason is that the other teams above us have raised their game better than us. Better players, better systems/tactics, better coaching. While it's exciting and great to watch our Gas, we have to realise that we have a long way to go to respectability & safety. UTG.

I think that is a fair summary but we can always hope that we get better. It seems we have a nasty habit of starting games way too slowly and i think, that once we can cut that out that we will be on a level par with most teams. There are of course, the truly big clubs in this tier too and i donāt think we can spend as they do.

Considering we had a nightmare start with injuries, especially in defensive areas I donāt think we have had a bad start. Between us in 17th & Derby enjoying the last play off spot, there is only 7 points difference covering 11 clubs & watching the Coburn/ Collins partnership against Fleetwood Saturday flourishing, I am sure our results will start to pick-up. Looking back to last season, things didnāt start to click to the start of the new year & I think something similar could happen this season.

Back to Lg1 after promotion and some massive clubs, stay where we are.

But I was just trying to highlight that while we have been making good progress, other teams have too. And some of them are bloody good. Div 1 standards are getting higher all the time. If we lose Barton/Coburn/Collins for example things could rapidly change downwards. We are a bit of a soft touch when it comes to transfers. UTG

Ticket sales for the Posh fixture are good.
The North Terrace has about 90 left.
Probably sold out within 36 hours or sooner.
The West Terrace has about 100 left.
Probably sold out within 48 hours.
Every league match has seen an 8,000+ crowd to date this season.
Looks like a similar outcome this Saturday.
East Terrace still has plenty of availability.
One small issue to note.
Posh have initially been offered the "moveable" section of the East Terrace as well as a section of the South Stand.
TICKET PRICES FOR POSH FANS
Seating in South Stand Adults: Ā£25, Seniors 65+: Ā£21, Under 22s: Ā£21, Under 16s: Ā£11, Under 11s: Ā£6
Standing (uncovered) Adults: Ā£22, Seniors 65+: Ā£18, Under 22s: Ā£18, Under 16s: Ā£11, Under 11s: Ā£6
This might limit the ticket choice for those buying tickets late.

As is normal the East Terrace is the first area of standing to sell out.
West Terrace is selling well.
South Stand seems popular.
Pattern of purchasing is typical.
Reasonable crowd likely on Saturday.
