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.

This si more like it, Posh keeping the ball much better. Morecambe still proving stubborn.

Posh having a better spell on the ball now. Marriott ends another period of possession with a curling effort just over the bar.
38 mins 1-0 Posh
I thought that was 2-0 then. Ward cross headed golawards by a Morecambe centre half, fooled a lot of the ground. Corner headed out.
37 mins 1-0 Posh
Posh on the breakaway, with Thompson and Kyprianou, the latter tries to slip Ward in but is fouled from behind from Fane. Has to be a booking, isn’t.
36 mins 1-0 Posh
Edwards lucky, gets robbed by 2 Morecambe players but the deflection allows Bergstrom to come and claim.
33 mins 1-0 Posh
Game opened up a bit but Posh still not really holding into the ball, don’t think JCH has got into the game at all.
29 mins 1-0 Posh CHANCE
Posh follow that up with a throw into the box, Kyprianou flicks it on to Marriott, takes a touch and gets to the middle of the box but slips and only manages to hit the ball right at Ripley. Thought that was a certain goal.
