McCarthy Looking for Reaction

Town boss Mick McCarthy says he is looking for a reaction from his side as they take on Peterborough United in a crucial Championship match.

Town go into the game in 22nd position still two points adrift of safety in the relegation zone whilst Peterborough occupy bottom spot in the table a further point back, making Saturday's game a real six pointer.

Town boss McCarthy was very disappointed with his sides performance as they were thrashed six-nil by Leicester City away from home last week and has called on his side to bounce park at the weekend.

“We need to react to what was a very disappointing performance and result at Leicester last weekend." commented the Town boss who has seen two defeats and two wins in his first four games in charge.

"I’d have taken six points from the four games we have played since I have been here. The games we lost - at Palace and Leicester - I probably didn't expect to come away with three points from those matches but I expected us to play much better than we did. Our fans travel a long way to watch us and I never want them to see performances like that again.

"We picked over the bones of the Leicester game on the Monday and then you have to move on. It's all about the next game in football. I can't do anything about the past. 

“It's obviously a huge game for both teams given our positions in the table. With the terrific support we enjoy, hopefully we can make home advantage count.”

With thanks to Saturday's matchday programme for the quotes.
