Wish I could be there but at least I can watch it on TV. I'm hopeful but not overly confident. They will be ready for us this time. If we do win it will be a great morale booster.

A tricky game this as I don't think they will be as poor this time around, be very handy for our finances if we can get through

Although we are in good shape at the moment, my gut instinct is that we will lose this game. I doubt Peterborough will play as poorly as they did in the original tie and they have some very dangerous attacking players. I just hope we give a good account of ourselves to keep confidence high.

Although it won't be popular with a lot of supporters, I think MM will start with the 532 formation again, probably with DMH at wing back if Duggan misses out through injury as expected. In a 442 I think we would be overrun in midfield by higher level opposition.

Despite the game being televised, I think there will be a decent gate with prices reduced and the feelgood factor returning to PP after recent results.

I agree with your formation RLC. It would not be smart to be too cavalier playing higher level opposition. Harris, Norburn and Jennings in midfield with Norwood and Cook up front. Another solid defensive performance and hope to sneak a goal or two on the break. In this regard, I hope James is practicing his one on ones! (LOL!).

Duggan and Hughes apparently out for a few weeks with their hamstring problems. I agree with RLC that 532 is probably the best fit with the players available against this opponent. McEveley who appears to be a manager's favourite will get the nod ahead of Buxton in the back three. It will be interesting to see who makes the bench too, with 7 subs to pick. Jake Kirby was a left-field sub for the away game, but he hasn't been seen since

Prediction: Think we'll get a fair crowd,around 4-4.5k. Also in the gloomy camp for this, but the manner of any defeat will be as important as the result

Like BBTC I'll be tuning in on BT Sport and like RLC and bigmart, I can't see posh being as poor as they were in the first half.

Hopefully we'll do the business as Woking away is the prize on offer

A winnable tie if we do get through, but I would have preferred Bury to be honest.

The Shakers must be awful to lose by that margin to an NL side.

To be honest, they are the sort of numbers we would have taken for a midweek replay when we were a League One side. It is not an enticing fixture from their point of view, plus it is televised.

Perhaps the Woking win shows the gulf between League and non-League football isn’t that great, particularly for sides like us who actually try to play rather than kick and cheat to a win.

Also a battling win on penalties for Guiseley at Accrington. Hopefully Rovers will be the third NL side to put out a league opponent in a replay.

Intriguing story with Woking beating Bury, this means IF we win tonight there will definitely be a NL club in the third round. Long way to go but let's hope it's us!

I'll be watching on the telly in Coventry.

I’m hoping they don’t fancy this game and we’ll win on pure desire alone!

Baffled that McDonough is preferred to Cook in the starting xi after reports of his apparent struggle in the away leg, otherwise line-up as expected
Kirby not on the bench this time either.

The same system as the first tie, 532 with dmh as a wing back. I don't know why McDonough is preferred to cook.
