On the Posh goal trail . . .

The referee for Saturday’s game is David Webb from Lancashire. This season he’s taken charge of 15 games and issued 36 yellow cards but no reds. He last refereed a Posh match in August 2016 when Posh won their opening game of the season at Rochdale 3-2. He booked Jack Baldwin.

The season before that he was the man in the middle for Posh’s FA Cup first round tie at Burton. Posh won 3-0 but Webb sent Baldwin off in the last minute.

Jack Marriott took just 13 games to match the 10-goal tally (in the entire season) of last season’s top Posh scorer Tom Nichols.

Only Terry Bly and Jimmy Quinn of the most prolific Posh goalscorers have reached 10 league goals in a quicker time. It took Bly just 10 games in the 1960-61 season and Quinn took 12 games in the 1997-88 campaign, both in the bottom division of the Football League. Terry Bly 10 games Jimmy Quinn 12 games Jack Marriott 13 games Robbie Cooke 14 games Derek Dougan 14 games Dwight Gayle 15 games (Championship) Britt Assombalonga 18 games Aaron Mclean 18 games Jim Hall 20 games
