How do you turn a spineless, gutless, clueless performance on Saturday into a gutsy, dynamic, energetic display on Tuesday? Well, if you’re Jim Gannon you do it by telling the players they’re all rubbish and declaring the team relegated and the season over. As that smug bloke from Snow Patrol would say, if it looks like it works and it feels like it works, then it works. Sadly, it looks like Johnny Mathis will have the final say.

Former Posh manager Keith Alexander has died, aged 53

The Macclesfield boss passed away last night, following his team’s match at Notts County.

We at londonroad.net offer our condolences to Keith’s family and friends.

Jim Gannon is the the new Posh manager.

The former Stockport and Motherwell boss will be at London Road for a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.

We wish Jim all the best in his new role.

So, Mark Cooper has been sacked after just 13 games in charge. A decisive act by a club not willing to go down without a fight, or just an expensive balls-up?

Barry Fry is believed to be in charge for Saturday’s match at home to QPR - will he stay on for the rest of the season, or will we see a new manager appointed?

We’ll bring you more as and when it arrives - until then, keep up to date on our London Road End forum

Another match, another defeat. Surely now the question is not ‘can Mark Cooper keep us up?’ but ‘can Mark Cooper build a team good enough to win League One?’

That is certainly up for debate. Have your say in The London Road End.

Nine-man Posh were beaten by a dirty, niggly Derby side today. Which is a shame, because up until the dismissal of Craig Morgan for a rash challenge on DJ Campbell, Mark Cooper’s new look Posh side looked more than a match for the visitors.

New signings Kerrea Gilbert, Reuben Reid, Izale McLeod and Jake Livermore all started, and Livermore in particular impressed - even if he did look a tad too casual at times.

Ryan Bennett was the second player to be sent off, for tripping that man Campbell, conceding a penalty in doing so. The penalty was converted and Posh faced a second half two men down, against a team determined to push the rules to breaking point, and with a referee who was, at best, staggeringly woeful.

Sheffield Wednesday away on Saturday falls under the ‘must-win’ banner - but don’t they all these days? We’re fast running out of these ‘winnable’ games and with Bennett and Morgan suspended and Zakuani’s injury problems dragging on longer than expected, it looks like Exodus will be returning. Can we stay up? It doesnt look good.

Posh were tactically, physically and everything-elsely outclassed at White Hart Lane today. Only a stunning performance from Joe Lewis saved Mark Cooper’s team from being on the end of a Wigan-style hiding. Were you there? Bit of a let-down, wasn’t it? Still, at least, as the old cliché (or is that quiche?) goes, we can concentrate on the league, now. In other news, over Christmas we lost at West Brom and then scraped a dull score draw against Cardiff. Or so I’m told, I wasn’t there…
