Peterborough United boss on the confidence gained from the last meeting with Stockport County
Peterborough United boss Luke Williams has found a big reason why his side can deliver an upset win at Stockport County on Saturday (12.30pm kick off).
Posh head to the team in fifth place with just one win in their last 12 League One games, form that means they still need three points from their final three games to avoid relegation from League One.
It’s a tough task for them at Edgeley Park, but Williams takes confidence from how his side outplayed County at the Weston Homes Stadium in November when goals from Ben Woods, Kyrell Lisbie and Brandon Khela secured a 3-0 home win. That was just the second League One game of Williams’ reign at London Road.
"We can watch that game back and see the energy and enthusiasm we delivered,” Williams said. “We attacked that match with real aggression and if we emulate that application we can beat anyone in the division.
"Of course it’s a tough game tomorrow against a team that will be as desperate for points as we are, but we have shown in the past that we can win away games at tough opponents.
"We will be challenged for sure by a team who are managed brilliantly and who have built something very special, but we will go there and try to win. It’s important to get the points we need as soon as possible so we can start planning for next season. We can’t really plan right now.
"We have lost some of the energy and enthusiasm in away games recently, but there have been distractions. We lost our rhythm on the road because of injuries.
"But it’s a fantastic playing surface at Stockport so both teams should be able to play a quick and attractive game. It would be nice to be involved in a game like that.
"There is evidence we can win games like that, and win them comfortably, by scoring several goals.”
