Posh announce the capture of Stevenage Borough's George Boyd, Aaron McLean and Craig Morgan join permanently, Gavin Strachan re-joins the club on-loan, and Dean Holden is shipped off to Falkirk. Things don't change on the pitch, however, as Keith Alexander's men lose their fifth consecutive match and have only scored 4 goals in the last 9. Walsall quickly prove why they're the league leaders, scoring 2 within the first 23 minutes. Alexander signals a return to 'horrible' football, “I know that won't please everyone, but that's what my teams traditionally have played like. I have never lost five games in a row and it hurts.”
