Can GOD be recalled and play? Wouldn't mind him pressing for 20 mins to allow Harris to go full pelt for 70.

Barnet's season is over so he is already back with us and was training ahead of the 1st leg.

Not sure on the precise rules when it has been a non-league loan.
If he had been on loan at an EFL club, he wouldn't be able to feature in the playoffs for us.
Non-league loans seem difficult to find whether it is allowed or not.
 
A summary.. .

Oxford are winning.
Oxford have scored!
Peterborough are winning

On Wednesday, as other have said, a first goal will be crutial. If Peterborough score it'll give them momentum to get another.

A nervous Wednesday evening ahead.

Does anyone else think that, on balance, Rodrigues is a liability?

In addition to his ability to pick up a lot of silly bookings, he has a propensity to overplay and lose possession in key areas for Oxford.

I like him, technically very good at our level, it’s easy to forget he was playing in the National. League last season.

Yes he has that ‘Latin’ temperament which means he’s prone to play on the edge, but he works surprisingly hard for the team.

Worryingly his form really fell away after Manning left, but he’s getting back to where he was at the beginning of the season.
 
Bennett or Leigh against Poku for the 2nd leg . Leigh had him in his pocket in the 5-0 win, matched his pace and added to the attack . Bennett is the better defender but Leigh is brilliant at the counter ?

Liability, no. Makes you want to pull your hair out at times, yes.

Personally like that he plays the game on the edge and it’s not his discipline that lands us in any trouble. It’s the temptation to try and play in the wrong areas.

But give him his due, he’s adapting to a pretty niche position/system and doing a pretty good job. Another who has amassed a huge number of minutes and always gives it everything.

Has some bite. Fears nobody. I’m a big fan.
 
It's origins go back pre-war when the owner said he wanted "Posh players for a Posh Team" - the word "posh" had a different meaning then, akin to "better than average"

Interestingly, Victoria Beckham tried to stop them using the name, stating that the word was associated with her worldwide and it's use in a footballing context downgraded her image - I expect "Golden Balls" put her right on that one......
