TEAM NEWS: “CARDIFF CITY v PETERBOROUGH UNITED " MATCH THR

We are lucky we are playing one of the weaker sides on the opening day.

Peterborough fans are very worried about this season as they have not hardly strengthened.

In League One, Peterborough United's wage bill was one of the lowest, with the club spending a relatively small amount per point earned.

They are still a big side and as we have got rid of most of our big lumps I have a feeling they will steam roll over us.

That's true, Peterborough were near the bottom for a lot of last season and I wouldn't be surprised if they go down because they've lost a few of their best players.

They've replaced them but not with players who are that good - which is exactly my point about a club making signings doesn't mean they've improved the squad.

Poku will be a big miss for them, great player.



But they are unlucky they're playing one of the best teams in the league on the opening day.

“Isaak Davies, we've had some good news on.

We thought he might have been injured. He isn't injured and he's available for the weekend.”
