Zakuani: Posh can handle Champ

10 August 2009 14:25
Zakuani - who was handed the captain's armband at Derby on Saturday - saw his side lose 2-1 thanks to two soft goals from set-pieces but believes Darren Ferguson's men have what it takes to cut it at the higher level. He said: "The goals we conceded were disappointing from our point of view. We have practised defending set-pieces a lot and we faced a lot of them. "We dealt with most of them very well and I'm sure it won't be a problem for long. It was a real shame to let a late goal in because we had recovered from a shaky start to play very well. "The Championship hasn't changed at all since the last time I played in it. It's physical and it's quick, but we will be fine. "It was an honour to be asked to skipper the side and I think I have the capabilities to be a good captain."
