EX MEN: Peterborough United’s million pound bonus is under threat, Bogle boost for Posh, penalty heroics, and the latest on Maddison, Broom and Tasdemir
Posh will receive a seven-figure fee if the Bees go up as part of the deal that took Ivan Toney to West London, but they suffered a third straight Championship loss yesterday, 2-0 at Coventry City. Toney missed that game with an ankle injury which is not though to be too serious. He’d scored his 24th goal of the season in a 2-1 defeat at QPR in midweek.
Brentford remain second, but the chasing pack are closing in.
