It’s been an ‘okay’ start for a team with huge potential says Peterborough United boss and Malik Mothersille debut has been pencilled in
But he claims the potential in his young squad is ‘huge.’
Posh are fifth in the table with 17 points from 10 games, just five points off top spot, ahead of a Tuesday trip to struggling Carlisle United.
Posh are protecting an unbeaten run of six games in all competitions and have forwards Kwame Poku and David Ajiboye back in the squad for the game at Brunton Park against the team that won the League Two play-offs last season, but who have won just one of their first 10 League One matches.
Former Ipswich goalkeeper Tomas Holy will replace Andersson with Ryan De Havilland expected to step up in place of Kyprianou.
“Seventeen points from 10 games is an okay start,” Ferguson stated. “I’d have liked more points and losing at Northampton and not beating Orient were disappointments, but we’ve done okay generally.
“I don’t really take any notice of the league table at this point. After 15 games it will have taken shape more seriously and it will be easier to work out who might have a good season.
“But we’re on a nice little run and I saw a determination to win a game a football that pleased me at the weekend. It wasn’t the most exciting of performances, but we managed the game well apart from a 15-minute spell after we went 2-0 up.
“It’s been strange to see us lose the lead so often this season as scoring first should suit us with all the pace we have in the side.
“The potential of the players is huge. The aim for now is just to keep improving them and see where it takes us.
“The players who came in on Saturday did really well, David Ajiboye and Jadel Katongo, which was encouraging and the substitutes we sent on had a real impact on the game. They changed the entire dynamic.
