Peterborough got a goal back in the second half, then seemed to get stronger. Whaddon Road will be a key factor again th...

Re: Loan move

Dylan Barkers loan move to Gloucester City has been extended to the end of the season. Happy with this news, he has been good for us. He holds the midfield, and produces quality passes, allowing the likes of Kevin Dawson and Tommy O Sullivan to get forward.
