After leaving Lincoln City, Keith Alexander was appointed manager in the summer and in the autumn Fry stepped aside as Chairman (becoming Director of Football), allowing Darragh MacAnthony to take over with plans to significantly invest in the club. Alexander started the season well and Posh spent the first third of the season in the play offs, but a poor run before Christmas, plus disillusion with the long ball tactics, saw Alexander sacked. Tommy Taylor took over as caretaker before Peterborough gave Darren Ferguson (son of Alex) a first taste of management.
Ben Futcher signed for Peterborough from Town in August and scored in the 2-2 draw at London Road. Top scorers with 10 goals are Danny Crow (left) and the injured Aaron McLean who signed for £150k from Grays earlier in the season. Defender Adam Newton is in his sixth season at the club and has the most appearances this season. Forward Craig Mackail-Smith signed from Dagenham & Redbridge in January and has two goals so far.
