Peterborough United F.C.

They're into the last eight for the first time since they made it all the way to the final in 2013.

Clark, you watched them see off Peterborough at Valley Parade.

Thanks to goals in each half from Macaulay Gillespie and Adam Phillips at the third time of asking after two of the worst first touches you'll ever see.

Bradford have blanked in three of their four games before this.

Adrian, do they deserve the win here?

Oh, absolutely they did.

I mean, I did read some of Robbie Savage's post-match quotes saying that Peterborough were unlucky and they created enough chances to win.

But that's a bit of a blinkered view, really, because I think there was eight shots on target from Bradford, but they could easily have scored five or six.

A major international trophy might elude him, I'll say it before Baz does, but it's hard to begrudge a nice normal bloke winning that.

to the EFL Middlesbrough lead the way in the championship with Swansea and West Ham losing at the weekend while the sacking season's really begun Burnley in the relegation zone dismissing Nicky Hyen in League 1 Sheffield Wednesday sacked their manager after two defeats in a row Andy Woodman gets the boot from Bromley Huddersfield are on top with Stockport close behind Cambridge still in the playoffs at the bottom the Robbie Savage bounce hasn't lasted that long for Peterborough while Russ and Martin clings on at Leicester Salford are finally delivering for those who thought they'd win League 2 seven wins in a row for them and Ian Holloway is still giving press conference gold whether the Swindon fans love it is a different matter.

All that plus your questions and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

On the panel today, welcome back, Barry Glendenning.

Nothing happens in their football matches.

and this is also but it's not a you know this was the case last season the success was built on a really strong defensive record as was their promotion out of League 2 prior to that Reading looked very strong under Liam Richardson with some very good attacking players Kyrie Slisby in particular really impressive so you know it's still all to play for and I wouldn't buy any stretch rule anyone out Plymouth Argyle fall into that category too but right now you know Huddersfield and Stockport look to me to be the two teams where if you finish above them surely you're getting automatic promotion

At the bottom, Wigan have seven points, Barnsley eight, Bromley nine, Peterborough ten, and just at the relegation zone, Blackpool, Notts County on 11.

How's the Robbie Savage-Peterborough experiment going, Ali? I mean, I have seen Dale Vince and Darren McCartney going at each other on Twitter.

Since they beat Blackpool 2-1 on the 2nd of September, they've been in all competitions.

They've been beaten 5-1 by Stevenage, 3-0 by Plymouth, in order, had a 3-0 draw against Peterborough where they knocked out penalties, drew 1-1 with Leicester, were beaten 4-3 by Leeds United under-21s, were beaten 4-1 by Fleetwood, both of those in the EFL Trophy, beaten 3-1 by Stockport, beaten 2-1 by Cambridge, beaten 2-1

by Luton, beaten 2-1 by Reading.

I'm not missing anything out there.

I think for Wimbledon, this was a very important game not to lose after losing their previous two league games 8-0 on aggregate whereas for Wickham this is you know slowly building under Tom Hounsell back to back away draws last week at Cambridge where they conceded having been 2-0 up conceded in injury time and here where they came from behind to equalise so again I still and I've been begging Wickham fans to tell me definitively I don't know how good you are.

If you're really good, if you're just fine, if you're just kind of eighth, ninth, tenthy, which is kind of where I think you've been for a while, is there any sign that you're definitely better than that? Let me know.

Bromley won Peterborough 1 for the first time since March 2021.

Bromley didn't have Andy Woodman in his cap in the dugout.
