Squad

Jerónimo Domina in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Peterborough United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Bolton Wanderers take the points off Peterborough United

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Cian Hayes

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Harley Mills gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Timo Königsmann knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Timo Königsmann trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Peterborough United pick somebody else ahead of Ben Woods

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Market

Cian Hayes’s move to Blackburn Rovers falls through

The deal that would have taken Cian Hayes to Blackburn Rovers has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Peterborough United with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Squad

Tempers go at Peterborough United

Archie Collins was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Peterborough United

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Alex Bass

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Jack Allen steps up from the Peterborough United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jack Allen has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: James Price joins the Peterborough United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. James Price is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Peterborough United promote Jacob Taylor from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jacob Taylor has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Match

Luton Town take the points off Peterborough United

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Harley Mills signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Harley Mills and Peterborough United agree another 5 years.
