There are few options for guests for the play-offs if a signing doesn’t materialise. There maybe a few options for guests but imo King and Lawson were very suitable to replace Ostergaard as it stood all season until next Month and maybe the crunch October.I would stick with R/R if Lawson's and King's average didn't reduce sufficiently to be able to guest.

Not as consistent as King or Lawson especially away from the NA.Same with a few others from Lynn or Ipswich.Imo if Peterborough haven't signed anyone,then come the play offs the safest option would be R/R unless King or Lawson's average has come down again which again doesn't look likely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richards average goes up from 6.79 to 7.39 on Sept 1st. King's up from 7.10 to 7.46 at the same time. R/R i think Edited August 29, 2021 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
