Peterborough Sports boss wants to capitalise on out-of form opposition
Peterborough Sports boss Phil Brown hopes home form will propel his team out of the National League North danger zone over the busy festive programme.
Sports host out-of-form play-off contenders Scarborough Athletic on Saturday (3pm), the first of three of four upcoming matches scheduled for PIMS Park.
Sports travel to King’s Lynn Town on Boxing Day before home games against fellow bottom four club Oxford City on Tuesday, December 30 (7.45pm) and mid-table Marine on January 3 (3pm).
The city side are in the relegation zone on goal difference, but are within three points, at most, of the four teams above them. Sports played well, but lost 2-1 at title fancies South Shields on Tuesday.
"The festive is season is busy no matter what level of football you are playing at,” Brown said. “There’s a quickfire turnover of games with 12 points to play for in just two weeks. We are at home in three of the next four games which is something for us and our fans to look forward to, but going into the Christmas games with a win is what we are now aiming for as that would set us up nicely for the rest of the festive fixtures.
"Scarborough started the season well, but we know their results lately haven’t been amazing and we need to capitalise on that. We didn’t get the result we wanted at South Shields on Tuesday, but the performance we delivered gives us something to build on.”
