    "Bottom line tonight was Barnsley weren't a bad side at all and we weren't at our best, but we still scored three and won. Speaks volumes. Wish we'd learn to see out games though, can't take that sort of pressure too often."


    "Nail biting finish! I'd so love to do it the easy way but that ain't the POSH way.
    Now 1 point away from a Play Off place and with a decent goal difference.
    Our Tuesday night hoodoo put to bed. Roll on Saturday"


    "The panic at the end was a bit disconcerting -- reminiscent of the Fleetwood game. How can we be over-run in the closing stages by a ten-man team?"


    "Barnsley never ever change. They are animals and timewasters who deploy all the small cheating methods of modern football. Importantly we won three points."


    "Just remind me: why was Elder booked last night?"


    Must say that we played well at Peterborough and didn't deserve to lose.

    I didn't know that Peterborough hadn't won a home game on a Tuesday night for 18 months!!!!! (According to their forum).

    "We haven't won a home league game on a Tuesday night for 18 months because we haven't been good enough or indeed fit enough to play Saturday-Tuesday.

    Really?

    No different to any other team in world football.

    Why would we be timewasting when we were behind for most of the game?

    It is probably a reference to our time wasting at Huddersfield that sent them down (allegedly).

    It wasn't timewasting; any player can dribble the ball round the pitch as long as he likes and if nobody comes to challenge its not his problem. When Steele had the ball, it was in play and being played. If anyone was to blame, it was the Huddersfield players for not closing Steele down.

    Dunno... Maybe LJ thought we were winning as he brought on a defender for a striker too!

    That quote about us cheating is incredible. Peterborough were one of the worst teams I've seen for "small time cheating", subtle pushes, kicks and then going down at the first sign of contact from our players, and the ref bought it every time. Laughable lack of self awareness from whoever said that on their forum.

    You could well be correct, Red Rain. On the same thread, a few Peterborough supporters made the following comments:

    "I think we owe Barnsley one, don't we!"

    "We've surely got to break the hoodoo soon. Please let it be tomorrow evening as we certainly owe Barnsley one."

    "We do owe Barnsley one. As I have said elsewhere tomorrow is going to be a tough game. But we shall win!"


    BUT, one Posh supporter said:

    "I'm inclined to think we owe Barnsley a thank you. Had we not gone down we would not have assembled this current squad or have our current manager."

    Maybe they need reminding Mile Jedinak is more responsible on the day for their relegation rather than so called time wasting on our part !
    Joke of an excuse
