Tough one to call but the Posh forwards are more clinical than the average forwards of this league and fired up by EVO I fear for our fragile defence.
They will put us under pressure from the start and we rarely face teams that punish us for the chances we gift them - I think the Posh will be too much and we'll gift them a goal then they'll take another 2 - so 0 - 3 for me.
A judgement made without the prejudice obviously overwhelming others regarding EVO. Really looking forward to the battle - I think it's an opportunity to really see the metal of our side - alas my prediction is based on our back two central defenders ability to gift goals to our opponents - many not taken due to lack of quality - the POSH won't be so forgiving.
Warne's recent interview in which he discusses this game is bizarre to say the least. As I mentioned in the opening post, the Posh are looking good to take at least one point from the game. The Posh will not be **bricking** it. That's for sure.
**bricking** - For the uninitiated that's a reference to the Posh and their nickname in the early part of the 20th Century when they were referred to as 'The Brickies'.
I do think we are doing a slight disservice to our team. Get Newell back on the left, Evans will be concerned about him as Joe can be a game changer on his day, get Forde or Taylor on the right to snuff out Maddison (although, according to my 'Posh' mate, he will spend most of his time rolling about on the floor pretending he's been shot!) and I think we should have more than enough for them.
Our games against them aren't usually goalfests so I'm going 1-0 Miller's, and I'll give a SE a round of applause too, life's too short and he gave me some very happy times with my son's including Wembley.
The benches should be on the large TV just for the FA after the match to hand out fines...sparks will be flying....a good watch and a result will be a good omen for the season and PW tenure.
Can't see a draw....they'll be blood and guts this afternoon....Vaulks will probably be sent off - undeserved two yellows - because he'll be tackling hard - and ref's today are basketball ref's.

A bore draw will be good for us. That may sound perverse but it would be another point in the bag.
UTM!
That was no bore draw. It was an awesome game. Even Ajayi kept Marriott at bay for much of the game. Another point in the bag for us. I wonder if Evans is happy with just a point today?
