Peterborough United Live Blog: Posh host Morecambe in their first home game of the 2022/23 League One season
Posh return to competitive action at the Weston Homes Stadium with a home tie against Morecambe, who many pundits and bookmakers tip to be relegated.
Derek Adams’ men stayed up on the last day of last season but despite being tipped for another season of struggle, still have Cole Stockton in their ranks. One of the hottest strikers in the EFL last season in their side.
Grant McCann has a decision to make over his formation but will be able to call upon Nathan Thompson and Joe Ward this time around.

What a fantastic counter. Kyprianou brings the ball into the opposing third, lays if off to Marriott to his right, he gives it back to him and despite being pushed in the back, he still finds a cultured finish.
69 mins 2-0 Posh
Now Posh scream for a penalty again, JCH looked to be hit from behing as he takes a ball down. Ref waves it away, he then waves away a Morecambe shout for a dive.
68 mins 2-0 Posh
This game has sparked into life. Bergstrom makes a great save from Hunter, makes himself big after a ball was bobbling around in the box.
67 mins 2-0 Posh
Ref losing the plot here. He books Marriott for a challenge on Delaney despite letting so much go, then fails to spot Hunter getting on the end of a ball that went over the left touchline. Crown agitated now.
65 mins 2-0 Posh
Should be three. Taylor sends in a good ball from the left, JCH eschapes his man but can’t put his header either side of Ripley, who doesn’t know much about the save.
64 mins 2-0 Posh
Ward picks out Knight, he heads towards Marriott, he gets a flick but Ripley is off his line to push the feint tough away.
63 mins 2-0 Posh
Posh now starting to get on top, Thompon hangs a ball up to Taylor, good defending, corner.
