A team calling themselves the Posh travel to 'Old Money' Oxford. A loss to Fleetwood last night means Oxford are currently on course for 15 points this season. A win on Saturday would mean that we could wait until Saturday 15 October to pick up another point, and still be on track for that lofty goal. That's a powerful incentive and it seems likely to prove the difference - I don't know a single Peterborough fan who expects to get anything from this game.
I will go for a 3-0 win to Oxford.
Turning now to the visitors, and I am always reminded for no good reason of a defeat that the Posh inflicted on us during the opening day of what proved to be a calamitous 2000-2001 season, our last in the third tier, during which we shipped 100 goals and finished bottom of the pile, a mere 25 points from safety.
More recently, many Oxford fans feel grateful for the assistance that Peterborough provided during our lean years in the Conference, when they had a policy of signing literally every player at every other club in the division. Made things easier.
Peterborough fans, please feel free to tell me about your team and any reasons I should be excited to witness you play in two days time.
