MacAnthony was less thrilled with the subsequent 2-2 draw at home to bottom club Burton Albion on Tuesday night, but he’s confident the players will respond the right way when Shrewsbury visit London Road tomorrow (October 31, 3pm).

MacAnthony said on his popular ‘Hard Truth’ podcast: “We were dogged at Hull. Not many teams would have come back from a goal down at half-time like we did to win there. Watching that game I felt maybe this will be our year at last.

“We weren’t ourselves against Burton. We looked lacklustre, but we still had enough chances to win the game. I’m sure we will be rested up and ready to go again on Saturday though.”

Posh are fourth in League One ahead of tomorrow’s match.
