Squad17 Dec 2029

Bolu Shofowoke breaks a bone — 37 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 37 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market17 Dec 2029

Only the photograph left for Matteo Cotali

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Matteo Cotali will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Peterborough United the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market17 Dec 2029

Harley Mills asks to leave Peterborough United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match15 Dec 2029

The wait goes on for Peterborough United

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Cian Hayes was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 23. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad17 Dec 2029

A falling-out at Peterborough United

Anselmo García Mac Nulty and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match15 Dec 2029

3 matches without a goal for Peterborough United

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad17 Dec 2029

Cian Hayes falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad17 Dec 2029

Peterborough United lose Daniel Watson

15 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market19 Nov 2029

Matteo Cotali has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Peterborough United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad19 Nov 2029

A falling-out at Peterborough United

Alam Garcete and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad19 Nov 2029

Peterborough United count the cost of losing Abraham Odoh

32 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout19 Nov 2029

Rhys Williams 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.

Player ratings19 Nov 2029

One of those days for Cian Hayes

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.31, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad19 Nov 2029

A row about effort at Peterborough United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Rio Adébísí was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Ethan Williams was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad19 Nov 2029

Peterborough United lose Daniel Watson

44 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match17 Nov 2029

Cian Hayes rescues a point for Peterborough United

It needed Cian Hayes to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Bolton Wanderers, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad16 Oct 2028

26 days out for George Bucknor after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Peterborough United will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

The dugout16 Oct 2028

Gregorio Blanco: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Peterborough United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad16 Oct 2028

Tempers go at Peterborough United

Anselmo García Mac Nulty 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.

Match14 Oct 2028

A bad afternoon for Peterborough United against Rotherham United

0‑2 to Rotherham United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market16 Oct 2028

Jack Smith steps up from the Peterborough United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jack Smith 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.

Market16 Oct 2028

Paul Butler steps up from the Peterborough United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Paul Butler 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.

One of our own: Daniel Watson joins the Peterborough United first team

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

One of our own: Nicholas Martin joins the Peterborough United first team

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

Ethan Williams beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
