Peterborough United: Live blog as lacklustre Posh beaten by Fleetwood Town
After Saturday’s enforced break to pay respect to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Posh are finally back in action after the defeat to Portsmouth last time out.
They are looking to break a four-match losing streak in all competitions and face a Fleetwood side that have drawn all of their last five league games.
Nathan Thompson returns from suspension to boost Posh.

LIVE BLOG: Posh vs Fleetwood
Key Events
- 7:45pm kick-off
- Thompson back from suspension
- Posh have lost their last 4 in all competitions
- Fleetwood have drawn their last 5 in League One
Here come the teams
Earlier than usual, Queen Elizabeth minute’s silence and singing of national anthem to come.
Fleetwood haven’t lost any of their last 5 league games. They’ve all been draws though.
Despite clinging on for dear life against Derby, they’ve had some less than impressive draws against Wycombe, Lincoln, Cheltenham and Morecambe. They’ve got 8 points from 7 games and have only scored 7 times.
Conceded only 7, so could be hard to break down.

Subs: Jakub Stolarczyk, Paddy Lane, Joe Garner, Promise Omochere, Cian Hayes, Harvey Macadam, Carl Johnson

McCann wants to take out frustration on Fleetwood
Posh are back in action and determined to put on a quality Tuesday night show
Peterborough United manager Grant McCann felt it was important the football world showed unity at a time of national mourning by postponing matches at the weekend.
Team news
Nathan Thompson is back from suspension and is likely to slot into the team.
Harvey Cartwright has been sent back to Hull for treatment for a thigh injury, not that he would have been in the side anyway.
In more positive news, Dan Butler returned from 10 months out this afternoon and played an hour for the Under 21s in a 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United.
