Peterborough 2026/27 League One Preview
Four goals in eight games is the worst attacking return in League One, and it has left Peterborough United 23rd. Luke Williams’ side have won once, at home to Mansfield, and have failed to score in five of the eight, including a 4-0 defeat at Blackpool.
The chances are being created – Owura Edwards has made 15 and Harry Leonard nine – but nobody is taking them, with Ben Woods the leading scorer on two. Alex Bass has made 25 saves in goal, the second-heaviest workload in the division, and 13 conceded compounds the problem at the other end.
Eighteenth and 53 points last season was already a struggle for a club used to challenging at the top of this division. Posh need a goalscorer before anything else; the supply line is functioning perfectly well without one.

Peterborough’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Benjamin Jack Woods
- Free-Kicks: Christopher Seamus Michael Conn-Clarke, Benjamin Jack Woods
- Corners: Benjamin Jack Woods, Liam Kelly
Benjamin Jack Woods has taken 12 of Peterborough’s corners to Liam Kelly’s 11. Christopher Seamus Michael Conn-Clarke has had two of the direct free-kicks. Peterborough are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Benjamin Jack Woods, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
