Keith Stroud is still going at aged 52 and takes charge tonight. He last reffed Posh for the crucial 1-0 win at Charlton in April.
His team of officials were thrust into the headlines last week when his assistant referee ruled a perfectly legitimate goal for QPR in the League Cup tie against Sunderland by appearing to forget a part of the offside rule.
Probably a good thing to have another game so quickly after that performance at Swansea on Saturday but it’s important to remember that a win tonight and it’s 3 out of 4 for Posh. 5th placed Huddersfield are in town tonight hoping to keep up their surprisingly good start to the season, can Posh bring them down?
