Darren Ferguson’s Peterborough have won their last two matches after taking one point from their first seven games gone
London Road is, in the most complimentary of senses, like going back in time.
Wooden seats surround me in the press box, narrow, darkened hallways with peeled paint lead you to the pitch. It’s a characterful place to watch football… he says, not being a Peterborough United fan.
Posh have just ended a 14-game winless run, and many thought that Darren Ferguson could lose his job for the 10,000th time here (I jest, it would just be the fourth).
But they have won their past two, and so despite being second-bottom of League One, Lincoln, third at the start of the weekend, won’t have fancied this in the way they might have done.
The Imps have spent 67% of their time playing this season in the lead, the best in the league by far. Michael Skubala’s side will hope to extend a seven-game winning run.
But the wily Ferguson junior might have other plans, calling for plenty of grit from his side this afternoon.
