In-form Peterborough United winger relishes testing himself against the best

The 22 year-old claimed a goal and an assist in last weekend’s League One defeat at second-placed Lincoln City to add to his impressive start to life in the Football League. Lisbie moved to Posh from National Braintree in the summer.

And now he, and Posh, face another big test when fifth-placed Bolton Wanderers visit the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday (3pm kick off).

“I love to play against the best teams and the best full-backs,” Lisbie told the Posh Plus service. “Lincoln was a tough game, but enjoyable and I was pleased to get another goal and assist and now we face another good team. We are still in a good place as a team and we have a good record at home lately so I’m confident we can come out on top.

"I was happy to contribute some goals and assists when we went on our good run. I am just doing what the manager asks which is to try and score and create. It’s what I want to to anyway.

"It’s a great feeling to be playing every week. It’s a great responsibility as well, but it’s good to know I have the full backing of the gaffer and the coaches.

"I loved every minute of the Christmas period. It was busy and tough, but we picked up lots of points. As long as the team is scoring and winning I am happy.”

Lisbie has made 22 appearances in League One (15 starts) for Posh this season and 29 appearances in all competitions. Only midfielder Archie Collins can match those numbers. He has scored six goals in all competitions, three in League One and a hat-trick in a Vertu Trophy win over Aston Villa Under 21s. He has been credited with three League One assists.

Lisbie has started all 11 League One games Posh have played under manager Luke Williams.
