Match Preview
Same again for Posh Darren Ferguson is poised to name an unchanged Peterborough side for the visit of Carlisle. The February manager of the month saw Posh make it two wins from two for March with a 1-0 win at Notts County in midweek and will keep faith with the same XI. Forward Lee Tomlin returned from illness to start alongside in-form Craig Mackail-Smith at Meadow Lane and will be looking for his first goal since the defeat at Charlton last month. Midfielder Lee Frecklington has had a hernia operation and will be sidelined for at least a month while new signing Paul Taylor will not feature as he is not match fit. Striker Dave Hibbert is absent as he steps up his comeback from a dislocated knee suffered back in November. Carlisle defender Lubo Michalik could return to the squad for the clash. The Slovakia international has missed the last five matches due to a torn hamstring, but could make a timely return to the squad due to the latest injury sustained to fellow centre-half Danny Livesey. Livesey, who only returned to the side in January after missing over half the season with a groin injury, strained his hamstring during the warm-up ahead of the midweek win over Hartlepool and was replaced in the starting line-up by Liam Cooper. Cooper, on loan from Hull, had returned to the substitutes' bench the previous week after being sidelined with a broken bone in his hand. Matty Robson is expected to retain his place at left-back after recently keeping Gary Borrowdale out of the side. Borrowdale has returned to parent club QPR. Midfielder Liam Noble, on loan from Sunderland, starts a three-game ban following his straight red card in midweek, so fellow loanee Harry Arter could make his first start.

Match Report
Posh put Cumbrians to the sword Free-scoring Peterborough continued their promotion drive by outclassing 10-man Carlisle as a truly one-sided affair ended 6-0 to the home side. Darren Ferguson's men needed just 80 seconds to open the scoring and went on to claim their biggest win for three years. They could even afford to miss two penalties along the way. Tommy Rowe was the player to deliver the perfect start, racing into the box to tuck away Craig Mackail-Smith`s low cross from point-blank range. League One`s top scorer Mackail-Smith went from provider to scorer as he doubled Posh`s advantage with a high-class header after 24 minutes. And the points were in the bag by the time George Boyd weaved his way through a couple of tame tackles and nonchalantly prodded the ball under the body of Carlisle goalkeeper Adam Collin in stoppage-time at the end of the first half. Skipper Grant McCann spurned a glorious opportunity for number four when seeing his spot-kick - awarded for a Frank Simek shove on Mackail-Smith - saved by Collin early in the second period. Carlisle then had on-loan centre-back Liam Cooper dismissed for a second caution just after the hour and Posh mercilessly picked apart the 10 men in the final quarter of an hour. Defender Ryan Bennett lashed in on the half-volley after 77 minutes before Boyd added the fifth with a deflected volley eight minutes later. Substitute David Ball brought up the half-dozen when slamming home after being picked out by fellow replacement Nat Mendez-Laing with a minute remaining, and there was still time for Boyd to miss a second Posh spot-kick in stoppage time to see his hopes of a hat-trick go begging.
