Preview: Posh - Town
By Aston
February 16 2010
Town travel to London Road tonight to take on Peterborough in search of another win to pull away from the relegation zone.
Town will be without Jon Stead who has joined Coventry on-loan until the end of the season and Richard Wright who is still injured.
Town manager Roy Keane: "We have played them twice and have yet to beat them so hopefully we can make it third time lucky tonight, it was always going to be hard for Peterborough after successive promotions but they are fighting for their lives and have had a lot of narrow defeats this season, like we have had draws. They lost 1-0 at Middlesbrough on Saturday and that's no disgrace.
"It's going to be a battle and we have to be prepared to roll up our sleeves and do that, as we did at QPR last week.
"There were a lot of positives from that match in the first hour and we should have killed off the game before the last 25 minutes, when we ended up in a far more uncomfortable position than we should have been.
"That said, I would have taken the 2-1 win before the game and I would do the same against Peterborough."
The posh could give a debut give a debut to Liam Dickinson. Gabriel Zakuani and Kerrea Gilbert are doubts for the game due to injury.
