Robbie Savage has challenged his Peterborough squad to change their "mentality" to arrest a period of "underachieving". Posh scored four goals in nine first-half minutes on their way to a 4-1 EFL Trophy win over Ipswich Town U21s in Savage's first match in charge. The 51-year-old will be on the touchline for his opening League One game at Leicester City on Saturday. "We've got to get rid of this mentality of let's stop the opposition, it's about them.
No, it's about us," Savage told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. "Let's be us, let's go and play, let's have a go, let's entertain. It's about us, it's about our fans - I think we're taking more than 3,200 [to Leicester] and I want them [the players] to entertain our fans." These players are underachieving, if we can get the best out of them we can beat anybody. Tuesday's EFL Trophy victory secured Posh's place in the last 32 of the competition, which they won for a joint-record third time in 2025.
