Aluko Starts For Blues Against Posh
Saturday, 10th Dec 2022 11:55

Sone Aluko returns to the Blues squad and the starting line-up as the Blues host Peterborough United after three months out with a knee injury, while Kayden Jackson is also back in the XI.

Aluko, making only his second league start of the season, is one of the number 10s alongside Conor Chaplin with Kyle Edwards dropping to the bench, while Jackson replaced Freddie Ladapo, who is also among the subs, as the lone central striker in an otherwise unchanged side from the 1-1 home draw with Fleetwood just over a week ago.

Peterborough, who switch to a back three, make three changes from the side which lost 2-1 at home to Barnsley last week, with former Blues striker Jack Marriott, Kelland Watts and Hector Kyprianou coming into the team, while Jeando Fuchs, Ben Thompson and Ephron Mason-Clark drop to the bench.

Town: Walton, Donacien, Woolfenden, Burgess, Burns, Morsy (c), Humphreys, Davis, Chaplin, Aluko, Jackson. Subs: Hladky, Keogh, Leigh, Vincent-Young, K Edwards, Ahadme, Ladapo.

Peterborough: Bergstrom, Watts, Butler, R Edwards, Kent, Taylor, Clarke-Harris (c), Poku, Marriott, Kyprianou, Ward. Subs: Blackmore, Knight, Fuchs, Mason-Clark, Burrows, Jones, Thompson. Referee: Ollie Yates (Staffordshire).

Suffolkboy added 12:22 - Dec 10 Wonderful news that S A is not only available but fit enough to be included in the X1 right away ; he has the ability to unlock defences with great subtlety and guile . If we can capitalise on these qualities and the pace of KJ we shall hopefully see 3 points safely on the board ! COYB

blueboy1981 added 12:22 - Dec 10 Lets not have excuses for anything but a good WIN, and 3 points today. We know the standard of Officials at this level are questionable at best, but that's been exhausted by some far too often. It's down to US to do the necessary. Are we good enough ? - then lets prove it … !!!
