So Posh (down to 5th) take on the basement side and failure to win could continue their slide down the table, out of the play-off places  |

Peterborough United entertain Scunthorpe United at London Road in Sky Bet League One action, looking to bounce back after the disappointment of the 3-2 defeat at Coventry City last weekend.Scunthorpe, who recently appointed former Huddersfield Town manager Mark Robins to replace Russ Wilcox, are struggling near the foot of the division, but have picked up in their performance level in recent weeks and have taken four points from six on the road in their last two away fixtures.Darren Ferguson has watched the Iron's last two fixtures and knows they can be a threat: 'I have watched their last two games and they have played well without getting the results they were probably seeking. Their front four can be very dangerous.'I have said all along it is about what we do and in general, we have been okay. Our second half display at Coventry was obviously very disappointing, but we have addressed that and I am confident that will not happen again,' Ferguson said. The Posh boss is without the services of captain Jack Payne who is suspended after collecting his fifth booking of the season last weekend. Scunthorpe will not be able to field Posh loanees Bobby Olejnik and Shaun Brisley due to the terms of the loan arrangement between the two clubs. Saturday's game will be the 2,500th fixture the club have been involved in since being elected into the Football League back in 1960. The first game was a win over Wrexham and Ferguson, a former player for the Red Dragons, insisted that it is a significant event. 'It is a great milestone and one that the club should be very proud of. Before I joined, I knew that Peterborough were a family club and now I am working for it, I can confirm those assumptions. Hopefully it will be a decent crowd and we can put on a performance and get the result befitting of the occasion,' Ferguson added. Read more at posh.com

So Posh (down to 5th) take on the basement side and failure to win could continue their slide down the table, out of the play-off places And so it proved as Posh lose to the basement side, who are not a basement side any more as they move to fourth bottom; whereas Posh drop out of the play-off places to 7th as they complete the quadruple of losing to the four worst sides in the League One. This was an awful disjointed display from Posh which lacked both effort and urgency as Ferguson's side seemed clueless as they lethargically passed the ball amongst themselves going nowhere until they lost it. The Chairman promised attacking football and a return to fortress London Road. It would seem that that promise is a long long way off at the moment, much like his dream of a return to the Championship!
