[Milo (not Mylo!!)]

A relegation 6 pointer already as 20th plays 18th. Not where either side wanted or expected to be I'd imagine

Fat lady gargling already for Robbo as Posh lose 2-1? Posh out of bottom four on goal difference

---

Southend United secured a first League One victory of the season as goals from Adam Barrett and Noel Hunt were enough to defeat Peterborough United.

The Shrimpers hit the bar through David Mooney's header before they went ahead when Barrett scored from close range.

Michael Bostwick's shot hit the bar for Posh, but Hunt headed the home side's second goal from Ben Coker's free-kick.

Marcus Maddison's 90th-minute strike gave Posh hope but they were unable to salvage a point in injury time.

Well she's now in full voice

League One side Peterborough United have sacked manager Dave Robertson after winning just one of their first six league games this season.

The 41-year-old, appointed on a three-year deal in May, becomes the first managerial departure of the new season.

Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Southend left them 20th, with three wins from their last 17 games in all competitions.

"I felt it was time to take action and make a change," Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony said in a club statement.

"It had become plain to see our young squad was under-performing and playing nowhere near their potential.

"Make no mistake, our players must also shoulder responsibility for this awful start to the season which has now led to a great person losing their job."
