    To be honest I cannot be bothered to write a match report, I came home satisfied rather than happy.

    All the talk from Shrewsbury before the match was of how 'they would attack us', though lining up with 1 striker
    and a packed midfield proved otherwise. like other teams before them (with the exception of Crawley) they would have
    been happy going home with a 0 - 0 result.

    Posh started well enough, Taylor hitting the woodwork early on but after that it quickly fizzled out to a dour midfield scrap.

    60% of Posh's passes were sideways or backwards. Bobby Olejnik made one save all match, I cannot recall Weale having to make any.

    The 'mighty Posh attack' managed a paltry single shot on target and that was NML's goal, at least that was worth waiting for.

    It says much about the performance when a substitute who barely plays for 30 minutes is named Man of the Match.

    Darragh will be mightily disappointed - promising to reduce the JPT Cup price to £4 if the crowd exceeded 8,000 - less than
    6,500 Home fans made the effort, shame on you Posh fans.

    The positives?

    Another clean sheet, another 3 points, but pretty to watch it ain't.

    Bostwick and Zak were rarely troubled, 4 clean sheets on the bounce is so unlike the Posh of a couple of years ago.

    If any of your patients suffer from insomnia send them along to London Road Minxy - it is probably cheaper than Nitrazepam

    We were, the rest was forgettable though apart from Nat's goal
