Steve Evans ahead of Posh v U’s
Unbeaten in their last 5 games in all competitions thoughPeterborough have only won 2 of last 8 at home
Win tomorrow and it would be our sixth win on the bounce against them. The last time we lost to them was in the 2000-01 season - then again, we lost to pretty much everyone that season.
Hoping we come out of it with something. I wouldn't be too disappointed with a point. We've had an 'easier' run of teams to play lately so seeing how we do against a top half side managed by wily old shyster Steve Evans will be interesting.
Last Time Out at London Road:
Posh 1 Oxford 4
Eastwood; Ribeiro, Nelson, Mousinho, Ricardinho; Hall, Rothwell, Ruffels, Henry; Thomas, Payne
30th September 2017
even during that nightmare season 2005/06 it was a 0-0 draw at their place and a rare (that season!) home win 1-0 , we took 4 points of them the season we fell through the trap door to the conference!.... which I think was part screened as part of the Television series titled something like Big Ron Football Manager, in which our greatest team skipper of all time, (and best manager we never had), was advising a young manager (cant remember who? ) who happened to be 'struggling' at Posh at the time.... it was a few games (the home 1-0 win) after Nick Merry n co took up the reigns after the then owner couldnt wait to unload the football club after the boardroom was stormed before an evening match, by disgruntled OUFC supporters!
That 1-0 win at home you speak of was the first game Smith was in charge after the takeover. N’Toya was one of about five players making their debut that day and got the goal. I think after that game we were something like 14th and all looking at if we could make a charge for the playoffs.even during that nightmare season 2005/06 it was a 0-0 draw at their place and a rare (that season!) home win 1-0 , we took 4 points of them the season we fell through the trap door to the conference!.... which I think was part screened as part of the Television series titled something like Big Ron Football Manager, in which our greatest team skipper of all time, (and best manager we never had), was advising a young manager (cant remember who? ) who happened to be 'struggling' at Posh at the time.... it was a few games (the home 1-0 win) after Nick Merry n co took up the reigns after the then owner couldnt wait to unload the football club after the boardroom was stormed before an evening match, by disgruntled OUFC supporters!

Oh how it went downhill from there.
