Peterborough United director of football Barry Fry says drawing Town in the second round of the Carling Cup is “rubbish”.
Fry was disappointed that his side weren’t pulled out of the hat slightly sooner: "It was a rubbish draw. That always seems to be the case for us these days.
"We were one tie away from pulling out Tottenham and that is the sort of game we wanted for the chairman.
"It would have been fantastic to have got a team like Spurs or Manchester City down here, but I guess it could have been a lot worse as well.
"At least we are at home and will have a very good chance of making progress. Hopefully the Manchester United connection between Darren and Roy will attract a lot of attention."
Posh and the Blues will meet in the week commencing 24th August.
Meanwhile, reports in Scotland continue to link Dundee United midfielder Morgaro Gomis with Town with one newspaper claiming that the Blues had a £450,000 offer turned down earlier in the summer.
Town manager Roy Keane was recently reported to have dismissed the link after widespread claims that the Blues were about to make an £800,000 bid with the SPL club valuing the Senegalese international somewhere nearer the £1.8 million mark Wigan paid Hamilton for James McCarthy.
Elsewhere, former Blue Alan Lee has been linked with a move from Crystal Palace to Swansea. Current Blue Pablo Couñago recently turned down a switch to the Liberty Stadium.
And, in one of the summer’s most surprising moves, former Town keeper Andy Marshall has joined Aston Villa on a one-year deal having been released by Coventry at the end of last season.
