Boardroom

Simon Watson is out at Peterborough United

Four paragraphs on the club website, none of them about football. The board thanked him, wished him well, and had the search under way before the page went up.

Boardroom

Richard Marshall steps up at Peterborough United for now

“Somebody picks the team on Saturday. This week it is me, and that is as far as I have thought.” No promises were made in either direction, which is how these usually begin.

Squad

Real improvement from Brandon Khela at Peterborough United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Brandon Khela is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words exchanged at Peterborough United

Archie Collins and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets

Peterborough United baulk at the price for André Vidigal

Reading wanted more than $420.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Matthew Garbett has improved at 26, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 4 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Boardroom

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.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to James Dornelly

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match

Luciano Pereyra the difference as Peterborough United beat Lincoln City

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Luciano Pereyra. 2‑0 against Lincoln City, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

In brief
