Posh v Swindon: The Match Preview

Posted on: Fri 01 May 2009

Peterborough United entertain Swindon Town at London Road on Saturday in the final Coca-Cola League One fixture of the campaign and it will be a celebration with Darren Ferguson's men celebrating automatic promotion to the Coca-Cola Championship.

There are many events that are planned throughout the day at London Road and with a sell-out in home areas, a crowd of over 10,000 is expected to see the clash with Danny Wilson's men, who are themselves safe from relegation to Coca-Cola League Two.

TEAM NEWS
Posh are without the services of Tom Williams due to a knee injury while Jamie Day is not expected to feature despite stepping up his comeback from a back injury. Boss Ferguson could make changes to his starting line-up, but is keen to finish the season on a high.

ONE TO WATCH
It is not hard to spot which player could be the one to watch at London Road on Saturday. Simon Cox has been a revelation since signing for the club from Reading and has scored over 25 goals this term. He is a livewire in the box, but also scores incredible long-range efforts, so the Posh defence will need to marshal him carefully.

MANAGER QUOTES
'It will be a party atmosphere at Peterborough but the commitment of the game might surprise one or two people. We've got one or two areas we want to fine tune and make decisions as to whether we keep players and I expect to go there and win the game. I'm not taking anything lightly and I don't want to go there with a few balloons popping around our ears,' Swindon boss Danny Wilson said.

'We want to end the season on a high, it was very disappointing to end the last campaign with a defeat against Darlington. It was very flat and made the celebrations a bit of an anti-climax. We want to win the game and then everybody can properly enjoy what will follow,' Ferguson said.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The match day magazine features photographs from the 1-0 victory over Colchester United that clinched promotion and also carries an interview with former Posh defender Steve Welsh. It will be available in the Posh Club Shop and around the ground for £3.
