PETERBOROUGH have won on their last two Valley Parade visits.

And boss Grant McCann believes there is a decent chance of making it a hat-trick this weekend.

The Posh sum up the unpredictability of League One this season.

They suffered a third defeat in four games in a forgettable 1-0 loss at Millwall in midweek but remain on the fringes of the play-off picture.

Tomorrow is a potentially pivotal afternoon for the visitors.

A City win could leave them eight points off the top six and struggling to make contact. But a Posh victory would move them within three of the hosts.

McCann, pictured, has targeted seven wins from their final 11 matches to achieve their play-off goal – and reckons this could be one of them.

He said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if we end their unbeaten home record. We are that sort of team.

“It will be a different sort of football match. We found Millwall hard because they drag you into a long-ball game but this might suit us more.”

Posh may still be in the mix but McCann has steered away from any play-off talk within the dressing room. He felt that has been a factor in their unpredictable form.

“I honestly believe the players have been put under too much pressure regarding play-off expectations,” he said.

“It’s important to take that pressure off and we’ll now be approaching games a little bit differently. I will give them the licence to go out and perform and play with a smile.”

McCann is expected to recall club captain Chris Forrester in midfield. Michael Bostwick will continue to deputise at centre half for the suspended Jack Baldwin.

Surprisingly for Peterborough, who are traditionally such a free-scoring side, there have been issues up front.

McCann has tried 12 different attacking combinations this season before settling for Tom Nichols in a lone role.
