Reading vs Peterborough United: New-look Posh ready for first game of the League One season
With nine arrivals and nine exits, it is a very different Posh side to the one that ended last season.
Darren Ferguson’s new-look side will get its first test against troubled Reading, who have been boosted by the lifting of the transfer embargo that has seen Charlie Savage and Lewis Wing finally registered as well as Harlee Dean and Tivonge Rushesha signed on Friday.

Great skill Mbengue to beat two Posh players on the right. Delivers a great ball, which Wing is all put about to tap in but Ajobye comes flying in to take it away from him. Great stuff.

Thunderous tackle from Fuchs moments after coming on. That’s what you want.
Someone needs to be picking up the loose ball though.
