Fergie wants more protection to Dembele

Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson has called for more protection from referees for his attacking star Siriki Dembele.
Bristol will be coming into this match slightly deflated by losing their five match unbeaten run at Millwall on Wednesday. Before that, They had got good looking points wins at Cardiff and QPR, as well as holding Fulham to a 1-1 draw at home. As mentioned, they are a much better away team than home and have not yet won at Ashton Gate this season.

Millwall 1-0 Bristol City
Bristol City 1-1 Fulham
QPR 1-2 Bristol City
Bristol City 1-1 Luton
Bristol City 0-0 Preston

Referee
Premier League referee David Coote takes his first step out of the top division this season to ref Posh. He took charge of Everton 2-0 Norwich last week and was the ref that sent off Michail Antonio against Southampton. In January 2019, he sent off Ryan Tafazolli as Posh were thrashed by Luton 4-0. In February 2016, he sent off Ricardo Santos and Michael Snmith but Posh still managed to win 1-0 away at Chesterfield.
Stick with us for all the action in what promises to be an intriguing game. Posh have taken 8 points of their 8 at home and Bristol City have taken 9 of their 13 away. For Posh, this definitely has to go in the winnable category despite the Robins sitting the the top half.
