Peterborough United - Tuesday 21/10/08

With still no win since August, Brighton travelled to much-fancied Peterborough not expecting much. The Posh have spent big on quality players from non-league, and had scored in every single league game they had played so far in the season. London Road has been a happy hunting ground though for the Albion in recent years, with no defeat there in the last six visits, so the Crocs made the journey believing that if the luck could change, there was a good chance it would be against the Posh
