Peterborough United Preview – Heavy defeat for McCann’s men?
Peterborough United have struggled on their return to the Championship this season, winning just five of 33 league games. Posh dropped to the foot of the table after last weekend’s results, with the club now eight points adrift of safety.
Despite their Championship woes, Peterborough have managed to reach the last 16 of the FA Cup. In round three, United edged past Bristol Rovers at the Weston Homes Stadium. They then beat fellow Championship club Queens Park Rangers in the previous round, with Joe Ward and Ricky Jade-Jones on target in a 2-0 home success.
The cup victories remain Posh’s only two wins since beating Millwall in the Championship in December. The second-tier’s bottom club are in woeful form and could be in for a hiding on Tuesday.
