Peterborough United are committed to getting backsides off seats at the Weston Homes Stadium

Peterborough United are committed to football exciting enough to get backsides off seats at the Weston Homes Stadium.

It’s an ambition of new manager Luke Williams and the Posh players are on board. They made a decent start in last Saturday’s 1-0 FA Cup win at home to Cardiff City, but now it’s also about stringing some positive results together in order to escape the League One relegation zone.

The first League One match under the care of Williams arrives tomorrow when sixth-placed AFC Wimbledon visit London Road to take on the team at the bottom (3pm kick off).

Harley Mills, who was 20 this week, can expect to start that game at left-back in a back four after an impressive showing at both ends of the field last weekend, often in partnership with his great mate Kyrell Lisbie. In his more recent Posh appearances Mills had been deployed as a left-back.

"It was very good against Cardiff,” Mills told the Posh Plus service. “We were at it from the start and we were determined to keep the ball in play for as much as possible. It was about a fast tempo and getting the fans excited enough to get them off their seats. It was a tough week of transition under a new manager for everyone, but we were desperate to get the fans behind us as soon as possible and we did.

"I’ve really enjoyed working with the new manager. I’ve only had one manager in my whole career and it can be good to work with someone with fresh ideas and a fresh opinion. He might see things other might not see. The gaffer is gradually dripping more things into us. He started with just his basics before the Cardiff game.

"I enjoyed it at left-back. I can still get forward from there and in some ways it’s easier as I have someone in front of me who I can work with rather than trying to do it all myself.

"I get on great with Kyrell on and off the pitch. We’ve both been in and out of the side this season so I haven’t played with him much, but we did well together last weekend.

"It’s another massive game for us on Saturday though. We need get some momentum and that comes from stringing some positive results together.”

And Mills, scorer of one of the great Posh goals at Wembley last season, insists he’s still on set pieces, despite the arrival at the club of another dead ball specialist.

“Ben Woods argues with me whenever we win a set piece,” Mills added. “He is very stubborn, but he is a great set-piece taker so whoever grabs the ball first will probably take the next one!”
