About our forthcoming match against you:

Your favourite current player in your squad and why? I still sing the praises of Lee Frecklington.  He is the unrecognised part of our midfield as he works tirelessly and does the unnoticed job really well.  This allows our other players to express their creative freedom.

 Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Paul Taylor. Great feet and fantastic finishing ability.

Player in our squad you most fear and why? Lloyd Dyer, we have an inexperienced left back and I believe Dyers pace and skills will cause us issues.
 
Up and coming prospect in your squad? Joe Newell
 
Where do you think you’ll finish this season? 16th

How do you think you’ll do against us? I believe preseason injuries will hurt us so a 2-1 win for Leicester.

 

Bonus Information – Tips from a currently based overseas Posh fan

Boyd and Taylor are still with us despite being on the list because offers have not been high enough. McCann on list and out of favour so won't start barring injury.

We have more youth and the Leicester boy Tomlin apparently played a blinder in our first match last night. We now have a proper keeper –  Austrian called Olejnik so with a new tough defensive midfielder from Stevenage called Bostwick and a guy called Swanson from Dundee United

I expect us to be harder to beat than we were sometimes last term and with a couple of home grown youngsters coming through in Newell and Nthle we could be stronger because of Boyd and Taylor staying plus a big striker in Tyrone Barnett who can score goals.

I think we'll most likely play the diamond formation
