Preview: Bulls vs Peterboro

The Bulls entertain Peterboro on Saturday hoping for an almost unthinkable third straight win.

The MacAnthony era Peterboro are yet to lose to the Bulls. Since the sandcastle builder got involved with the Posh, the Bulls have scored only once in five games with Clint Easton scoring to secure the Bulls an unlikely point at London Road last season. Earlier this season the Posh were 2-0 winners at London Road, with Craig Mackail-Smith scoring both goals.

The Bulls have made it perfectly clear they will not go down without a fight after two straight wins. Godwin Antwi became the 32nd player utilised by the Bulls this season, but the appearance of youngster Craig Jones on the bench last night showed just how thin the available squad is at the moment with six players out injured, and a seventh - Andy Williams - unable to be selected due to loan rules.

Peterboro have a Plan B, apparently. Their ability to switch from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 during matches is claimed to be a useful addition to their arsenal by manager Darren Ferguson, but they've won only two of the last six matches and have lost ground in the chase for automatic promotion. 18 goal top scorer Mackail-Smith, who has six goals against the Bulls in his career so far, switches out wide when the formation is changed.

Hereford United vs Peterborough United, Edgar Street, Saturday 21st February, 3.00pm.
