PETERBOROUGH UNITED OLD BOYS: Scoring debuts for Eisa, Edwards and Lloyd, new club for Reed, Bursik starts for Stoke
Eisa was signed by former Posh promotion hero Russell Martin who promptly left to join Championship side Swansea City. Martin, at 34 the youngest head coach in the EFL, didn’t enjoy himself quite so much as his side lost 2-1 at Blackburn after running into trouble trying to play out from the back.
Another ex-Posh promotion hero Grant McCann had a great day though. His newly-promoted Hull City side fought back from a goal down to win 4-1 at Preston North End.
