The Opposition's Manager - Darren Ferguson

Ferguson is currently in his third spell as Peterborough boss, having been there since 2019.

He had previously been their manager between 2007 and 2009 as well as from 2011 to 2015.

He has also in the past managed Preston North End and Doncaster Rovers.

Opposition Dangerous Players

Peterborough have struggled all season and the fact they sold to Siriki Dembele to Bournemouth on deadline day will not help that.

However, they have two dangerous forwards in Jonson Clarke-Harris and Jack Marriott.

Previous Meeting 

We drew 2-2 at Peterborough in August, thanks to two late goals from Aden Flint

Hoping to be at this game as long as I get paid in time to fund train, ticket and hotel as there are no trains back after the game.


Huge match for us. I think if we win it will be quite unlikely that we'll end up in the bottom three and will give us some genuine breathing space.

Massive game:

Peterborough home.

We have to go for the three points.

Should be a bumper crowd, way bigger than the Liverpool game and fans can turn up and thank them for a brilliant display up at Anfield and now we are playing more of our younger ones , fans can turn up and support them.


For me Cardiff win this and we can Concentrate on playing more if our younger players and bringing them through and give them experience for next season.

We should be really putting this game to bed 1st half against a team below us but if the players have in there heads this should be easier than the forrest game and obviously the liverpool game then we will struggle they beat QPR the other day so they can score to
I just hope we start off at speed rather than the usual settle down 1st 10 mins and see how we go
we don't want to let them score 1st if at all.

Peterborough - 7/2

The last seven league meetings between Cardiff and Peterborough have seen 31 goals scored at an average of 4.4 per game, with the reverse fixture this season a 2-2 draw.



Peterborough haven’t visited Cardiff for a league match since December 2012, when they won 2-1 in the Championship with goals from Michael Bostwick and Dwight Gayle.




Following a 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest, Cardiff are looking to secure consecutive home league wins for the first time since winning three in a row in February/March 2021.



Peterborough have conceded in all 14 away league matches this season, shipping 38 goals in total and conceding at least twice in 12 of those 14 games.



Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson has lost just one of his seven Championship meetings with Cardiff City (W4 D2), a 3-1 defeat with Posh in February 2012.
