Posh v Coventry: The Match Preview

Posted on: Fri 05 Mar 2010

Peterborough United face Chris Coleman's Coventry City side at London Road on Saturday afternoon (3pm) in front of what is likely to be a bumper crowd.

Coventry are set to bring a sizeable following of over 2,500 with them while the Posh Trust initiative will see 750 free tickets allocated to supporters from the Stanground area.

TEAM NEWS

Posh are without the services of Ryan Bennett (ankle) and Exodus Geohaghon (foot), while doubts remain over Reuben Reid, Scott Griffiths, Josh Simpson and Kerrea Gilbert.

New signing Mark Little could be in line for a start at right-back, while the returning Dominic Green is vying for a spot on the left hand side of midfield.

Coventry are set to continue with Jon Stead in attack after the front man made an impressive start to life at the Ricoh Arena.

MANAGER QUOTES

'They have got a couple of decent strikers and there is no secret about that, but what we have been doing very well is we always pay the opposition respect and work tactically on them, but we have been sticking to what we do best.

Forget about where we can finish, we need to focus on our next game which is a massive one for us and we have got to stamp our authority on it. Peterborough came up last year and lost a couple of managers this season and are quite a way behind safety and need something like ten wins from their remaining games,' Coleman said.

'Coventry have been in excellent form of late and since January have been on a great run. They allowed Leon Best to leave, but have got some good strikers in to replace him and they will fancy their chances of reaching the play-offs, but we are at home and we are confident playing in front of our own supporters,' Gannon said.

MINUTE'S APPLAUSE

There will be a one-minute of applause ahead of the game in memory of former Posh manager Keith Alexander who sadly passed away this week.

BETTING

Posh are 8/5 to win according to our online bookmakers www.theposhbet.com. Why not have a flutter on the first goal-scorer, Lee Frecklington is attractively priced at 14/1, while Craig Morgan, who scored in the last home game against Ipswich Town, is 33/1 to grab the first goal.
