Posh and Cardiff played out another entertaining goalfest at London Road before Paul Taylor scored the winner in injury time.
Posh were 1-0 down on 6 minutes when Don Cowie scored, but Cardiff striker Gestade then went off injured (15 mins) and Posh recovered as George Boyd continued his goal-scoring resurgence equalising on 21 minutes, before skipper Grant McCann took the home side ahead with a free-kick on 25 minutes. From 2-1 to Posh, Cardiff came back after half-time to take a 3-2 lead through Whittingham and Gunnarsson with 11 minutes remaining. Then a final twist led by Posh skipper McCann as he hit his second with a penalty for handled ball before substitute Paul Taylor slotted the winner past the Cardiff keeper Marshall in injury time (90+3  ;D ), taking Posh up to 7th in the Championship table. Peterborough United team: Jones, Little, Bennett, Zakuani, Alcock, McCann, Rowe, Frecklington, Tomlin, Boyd, Sinclair Substitutes: Lewis, Thompson, Tunnicliffe, Ball, Taylor boroet

As mentioned by GNAT my season ticket is money well spent. We have the most exciting and talented squad of players we have ever had, most of whom are still very young in football terms and with time to improve further, and for this we have DM, DF and BF to thank. Despite this some fans still feel the need to find fault whenever possible. All I can say is get a life, live in the real world, and enjoy the moment, it is later than you think.

Just about agree with that. McCann MoM for me (superb free kick and pressure pen) and the innefective Sincair seem to have taken the pressure off Tomlin just!
