Russell Martin rumoured to be having medical at Brighton, hence he's not involved.

Mind you, that rumour was posted on Twitter ;)
 
Having watched both games on Posh's Player, the first was much tighter. RvW had a good header deflected wide by the keeper and there were some good chances before Josh slipped through and chipped the advancing keeper for an excellent goal. Naismith was the hub as he found space and exploited it well with some excellent passing. Mulumbu was also very lively going box to box and Klose and Bennett looked solid in defence. Josh was the pick of the younger players but Effete looked good at LB as well.

The second game was more upbeat as City dominated from the start. It was my first glimpse of Maddison and I was impressed. He was poised and provided the hub for attacks, but it took some time for him to link-up effectively with Jerome. In the end, it was Jacob who did that and it was his shot that the keeper could only parry and Jerome pounced on it to score. Jacob then provided an excellent curling cross that Jerome was only inches away from at the far post. To top it off, Jacob scored the final goal with an excellent header from Maddison's corner. Turner and Bassong were solid in defence and Tettey and Thompson paired up well in front of them. Toffolo should have had a penalty when he was shoved from behind when clean through on the keeper.

Three goals by the three J's (Josh, Jerome and Jacob), clean sheets for Ruddy and Rudd, and some promising performances from the young guns. Good stuff indeed.

So there was a way of watching the game and you kept it to yourself until after the game whilst I'm refreshing the bloody canaries match day live nonsense ?

Poor show Rick <grr>
