'When we get it right, no one can stop us' - Peterborough United striker fires warning to League One play-off rivals

Posh ended the regular season on Saturday with a 3-3 draw at home to Bolton, a result they had to fight for after finding themselves 2-0 down after eight minutes.

Mothersille scored twice, either side of a Joel Randall strike, to put Posh 3-2 up before Cameron Jerome rescued a point for the visitors.

Posh now travel to Oxford United in their play-off semi-final first leg next Saturday (May 4. 7.45pm) with the return on Wednesday, May 8 (8pm) at the Weston Homes Stadium. Bolton face Barnsley in the other semi-final on May 3 and May 7.

Oxford beat Posh 5-0 in a League One game at the Kassam Stadium just over a fortnight ago.

Mothersille has now completed three consecutive 90 minutes for the first time in his Posh career and his three Football League goals have all come in his last four games.

The 20-year-old forward is now looking ahead to the play-offs and even firing a warning to Posh’s rivals.

Mothersille said: “I’m loving playing in this team with this type of football, it suits me. The gaffer has full trust in me and the players are amazing.

“We’re confident. We definitely know we’re the best team, we know some of our results haven’t shown that, but we’re confident in our ability so we’re excited. This is what we play for, games like this.

“Oxford will probably be wanting us again hoping it will be a repeat of what happened recently, but that was a one-off and when we get it right, nobody can stop us. The gaffer wasn’t pleased at half-time against Bolton and neither were we.

“We knew we had to come out strong for the second-half and after the first goal we got momentum. We did well and should have won the game, but from being 2-0 down, it was a good result.

“I had to do a little more in the final third, especially in the box. We worked on running in behind the centre-backs because they fall asleep and that’s what I did to score the two goals.

“I’ve also been working on my movement in the box. Santos won the ball off me a couple of times in the first half, but I didn’t feel discouraged. Once I put my body in the way and shielded it correctly, he wasn’t able to get it, even if he is stronger than me.

“We’re working on starting games how we finish them, but we will get there. We could have done better to see out the game at 3-2, but we will take the positives to come from two goals down against one of the best teams in the league.

“We’ve got the biggest games of the season coming up so it’s the perfect time for me to find my form and help my teammates.

“We weren’t really connected in terms of my runs earlier in the season, but they’re starting to realise my pattern of play, how I run and the type of runs I make and it’s really coming together.”
