Robbie Savage enjoyed an afternoon of sleep on his debut as an EFL manager as his Peterborough United side inflicted more misery on Leicester City and Russell Martin with a 3-1 win at the King Power Stadium.
Parking: “What a start for Robbie Savage to return to the club he’s probably most synonymous with. Much has been said and written about him this week, given his journey as a manager so far, we don’t have a great idea of what he’s like.
“I’m very open-minded about the assignment and what he can do. I’ve heard he wants to play with real intensity and play really aggressively up front.
“I thought it could be a good game for him against a Leicester City side who have their own style of play but take risks with the ball, so in terms of game plan it probably worked perfectly the way he wanted his team to play.
“It’s just the beginning but he’s inherited a brilliant goalscorer in Harry Leonard so there’s no need to worry about who will convert the chances. It’s a young team, they probably need some experience in the next window but I think they’ve got better players in their current position so it’s a great opportunity for Robbie.
“It will be difficult to deal with more scrutiny than where he was before and of course he will have a target on his back because of who he is and his personality.
“Peterborough have always been a really attacking and free-scoring team over the last 10-15 years, I associate with them, and it looks like they want to go at it with open arms.”
