The gaffer expects a challenge this afternoon at New York Stadium for a team he's expecting to be challenging for the title.

Speaking in yesterdays 'Tiser he said; “Peterborough were my pre-season tips for the title and nothing has happened to change my view. They're strong, well-organised, they're good in every department and their strike force of Britt Assombalonga and Tyrone Barnett is rated at £4.5 million."

“Peterborough's away form has been incredible, they've won 3-0 at Bristol City at 5-0 at Tranmere. This will be our sternest test, make no mistake. It's a benchmark for us but we're on a good run of form. Our team has already made a mark in our first year at the New York Stadium by winning promotion and then beating both Sheffield clubs in one season. Now we want to create more history by building upon this unbeaten start.”

“I'm asking the fans to turn out in big numbers. Peterborough will be well backed and we need all the support we can for what is a huge game for us.” he added.
