MATCHWATCH : Peterborough United (h)

[Clyde1998]

Jacob won't be as he's not even in the official team photo....

Yes he’s picked up a serious injury and is going back in jan.

Shame he's left (or is leaving) the club due to that. I do think could do a good job for someone in League One, but as a wing-back (three centre-backs) or playing in a position higher up the pitch.

The atmosphere surrounding him here means this is really not the right environment for him to be in, even if he was to be guaranteed regular football.

Quite looking forward to tonight. Assuming same team as Blackpool to start

Marriott still touch and go according to Leam. 2 months out with a sore hammy not great. No mention of Lane or Elliott

Given he said he wouldn't give injury updates, I wonder how much is gamesmanship and mind games. Get Posh to split their defensive prep between managing Marriott and Ehibhatiomhan, who are quite different threats, when he knows exactly who will be playing already.

He’s certainly got some reason for being so selective in updates. Does make it all a bit confusing

Surely Marriott won’t start after 2 months out with us winning the last 3-0 though? Not unless other injuries anyway

[Mr Angry]

I can't imagine - unless there are injuries - for Leam not to start with the same starting 11 as beat Blackpool.

Marriott - if fit - would be on the bench and maybe, depending on circumstances, come on for a 10/15 minute run towards the end of the game.

[tidus_mi2]

I feel good about tonight, think we'll win without any stress, 2-0 or greater.

So, looking forward to inevitable disappointment.

[Royals and Racers]

Ritchie available for selection after the 1 match suspension

Ritchie available for selection after the 1 match suspension

Certainly wouldn’t change the team from Blackpool unless enforced, but would be a good option to have on the bench tonight.

[Royals and Racers]

Unchanged - Marriott and Ritchie on bench.

[Hound]

Strong side. No excuses for a poor performance

[WestYorksRoyal]

The club shouldn't announce and academy lineup at the same time. Nearly shat myself when I saw the picture of Stickland and Camara's name on the teamsheet.

[Royals and Racers]

Liam Fraser the spare man tonight.

[Orion1871]

Goal

[Snowflake Royal]

That's shocking.

Lisbie roasting Abrefa, then pinball into the goal.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Let's see how good we really are under LR. A good, confident team swats aside an early setback against a team near the bottom with ease.

[retro royal]

Abrefa off it again, surely yids can do 90

[Sutekh]

Strong side. No excuses for a poor performance

Someone had to say it

[Brogue]

Armpit no pen imo

[Snowflake Royal]

Good run from Williams, but who does he think that cross is getting to?

[Brogue]

Kelvin is dog shit
