Oppos View – Peterborough

A bit about you:

Name: Peter Lloyd (Former chairman of The Posh Supporters' Trust. Just elected to the board of Supporters Direct England and Wales Football Council).

Current home town: London

Birthplace: Stockport

How long have you supported your team? 46 years

Overview of your club:

Great history, great potential, great football over the last four years

Favourite thing about your home ground: The London Rd. terrace

Favourite match played by your team & why: Huddersfield away in the 1991/2 playoffs after finishing 6th. Paved the way for our greatest season in the modern era under ourgreatest manager, Chris Turner 

Favourite player of all time who played for your club: Mick Halsall – all attitude

About our forthcoming match against you:

Very big game. We want a win!

Your favourite current player in your squad and why? George Boyd. Sublime passing and ball-at-feet skills, ghosts past players sometimes three at a time, scores goals, great attitude and work rate for someone so talented. 

Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Paul Taylor. Lightening speed, very quick feet, knows where the goal is, tough

Player in our squad you most fear and why? No one really but we don't like quality right wingers at the moment so if  Dyer's going to play there – him 

Up and coming prospect in your squad? Shaun Brisley. Looks like he could be a classy centre back

Where do you think you’ll finish this season? 16th

How do you think you’ll do against us? Win if our best team turns up

Any other comments? Always thought there would be more rivalry with Leicester City bearing in mind how close we are. Maybe that will develop. It would be good if it did.

We are top of the Championship in terms of the % of the home gate which travels away – 15%. Says a lot about our core support but also reflects the fact that we have fairly poor home support. (Editor’s note, LCFC are ranked 12th with 8.3% of the average home gate but 4th in average actual away attendance.)
