Declan Frith runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Market21 Aug 2028
Crawley Town come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Peterborough United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market21 Aug 2028
Only the photograph left for Harrison Jones
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Harrison Jones will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Peterborough United the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Match19 Aug 2028
Whatever happens, Peterborough United do not lose
7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.
Player ratings21 Aug 2028
A hand in 2 of them from Johnny Kenny — 7.76
Marked 7.76. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.
Player ratings21 Aug 2028
A goal and an assist for Pemi Aderoju — 7.56
Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.56 beside his name.
Squad21 Aug 2028
Words at Peterborough United training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jake O'Brien is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Boardroom21 Aug 2028
5 academy graduates step up at Peterborough United
Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.
Transfer targets21 Aug 2028
Leicester City tell Peterborough United: Alex Palmer is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
