Peterborough United v Swansea City
Tuesday 16 March kick-off 19:45
Next up in this see-saw season of good results-bad results is an away game at bottom club Peterborough United.
Just up from L1 it looks as if they are going straight back there after going 14 games without a win.
Recently fired Hull manager Grant McCann took over as manager last month when Darren Ferguson departed.
In his 4 games in charge he is still without a win, although their last two matches have been drawn, last Saturday a 2-2 home draw against Stoke and last Tuesday they had a very creditable draw at Bournemouth.
They will be no pushovers and McCann will already know how to play against our system having won and drawn against us with Hull this season.

FT: 2-3
An injury time winner from Piroe laid on by Paterson settled the nerves of Swans fans after Peterborough scored two quick goals after half-time. There were defensive mistakes again, but this time we came through on the goals front with a brace from Obafemi and a very late winner.

More defensive shambles from the Swans, surely we need a defence coach to organise them properly next season if Martin is still here.
Conceding two goals against a poor Peterborough side was abysmal. This mad ten minutes at the start of the second half was so poor after going one up before half-time. McCann changed tactics at half-time and it worked a treat as we don’t like being pressed.

Comfortable first half, scored just before half-time, always a good time to score.
Slow coming out of the blocks once again in the second half and conceded two soft goals.
This time we recovered and managed to score two goals, the winner coming in injury time.
Not a convincing performance once again.
I don’t see any improvement from the beginning of the season, if I’m being honest.
We still have a defence like a sieve, a blunt attack and a sterile midfield under Martin’s system.
How can we bring in the players to improve us if there’s no money?
