Savage Laments Posh's Lack of Belief in Heavy Defeat

Peterborough United's manager, Robbie Savage, identified a critical lack of belief as the primary factor in their recent 4-1 defeat against Huddersfield Town. This loss marked the first since Savage's appointment earlier this month, leaving the team 21st in League One. Savage suggested his players doubted their ability to secure a win, a stark contrast to their earlier performances. He criticized the team's offensive decision-making, urging them to be braver and more positive in their final third. Savage also highlighted the physical demands placed on the squad, noting that increased sprint distances have led to fatigue, but stressed the importance of building resilience. Posh are set to face Bromley next, followed by an EFL Cup tie against Bradford City.
