Huddersfield, England – This Saturday, the Terriers go face-off against the Posh, who dey at the bottom of League One table like say dem no get mat. Peterborough United no don win any match dis season, with their point coming from just one draw against Bradford City. Na wah! To make matter worse, dem don suffer two losses in cup games, even losing to ten-men Leyton Orient last Tuesday.
Darren Ferguson, Peterborough manager, don talk say him squad dey lack confidence, and dem really need serious magic for field (like sprinkling some jujus). After dem lost their last game, he burst out say: “We are clearly a team bereft of all confidence and belief, we are unrecognisable.” I mean, you no fit recognize your team abi na football dem dey play?
Peterborough don really struggle; dem don score just two goals while dem don concede 11 – like wahala upon wahala. Even their defense no fit handle set pieces; only Blackpool dey do worse than dem. Na why dem run go bring in four players before transfer deadline, including Jimmy-Jay Morgan from Chelsea. But when your desperation dey show, you sabi say you need help fast fast!
On the other hand, Huddersfield Town dey come off a strong midweek performance, where dem beat Newcastle U21s 6-2. Chai! Dis one na serious gbegborun for dem. Lee Grant, dem manager, don lead his boys to four wins in five league games, scoring 10 goals and conceding just three. Na dem dey knack sense play now, and dem want to continue dat form against Peterborough.
Owen Goodman go miss the game for Huddersfield because of three-match ban; the guy really need to calm down abeg. But no shaking, Francis Hurl go fit carry di load for now. Other players like Dion Charles dey on international duty, while Jacob Chapman still dey recover from him injury like wetin woman dey do for pregnancy. Na so dem dey run am.
Going into dis match, it dey clear say Posh need to perform wonders if dem go escape Huddersfield wahala dis weekend. Lee Grant don get his younger boys ready, and dem don dey sharpen dem skills, wey fit put Posh for wahala if dem no careful.
The game go happen for John Smith's Stadium, and if Peterborough no fit lift their game up, dem fit end the weekend with another loss, which no go sweet for dem at all!
