'We have got to get a lot better next year' warns Peterborough United midfielder
Ben Woods is already looking forward to next season and getting Peterborough United back where they want to be.
Woods has an injury-hit season, missing the beginning of the campaign with a hand injury and then almost the entirety of January through to March with a calf problem.
After signing from Accrington Stanley in summer, he played in 20 League One games (14 starts) and is keen to put these issues aside and deliver for the team next season.
Speaking after the 3-1 defeat against Doncaster on the final day, Woods added his frustrations at the side left fans celebrating surviving in League One and has challenged his teammates to seriously raise there levels next time around.
He said: “We have got to be a lot better next year. It’s not the season we wanted, we don’t want to be anywhere near the relegation zone. It was made quite public that fact that we were singing ‘we are staying up’ is not what we want. We don’t want anything to do with that.
“I hope everyone comes back and is at it for pre-season. We have a lot of work to do and this season is not what we want.
“We have given a lot of easy goals away this year. We have been easy to play against and we need to be hard to play against next year. This way won’t get us anywhere next year.
“I’m chomping at the bit already to comeback and hit the ground running. I already have my off-season planned out.
“It’s not been the season I wanted this year but I will put that right next year and play 40 games a year like previous years. I will be looking to be the first name on the team sheet and get us playing the right way.”
