Now to spring the trap

I don't understand why when you get to the semi final with a chance to go to wembley
We start with that team...... Critch is it the players fault

 

[doolan_legend]

How many times has husband hoofed it aimlessly down the line ? Dreadful

About 8 million times in his Pool career

 

[haggertyf]

Charlie Adam is in the crowd, we’d have been better off playing him tonight.

Probably be more mobile than Norburn

 

[SeasideKurt]

I think we can safely say they aren’t playing for Critch. This is a decent enough Peterborough side. No where near as good as people earlier in the thread were making them out to be.

I don’t think this squad is playing for Critchley which suggests it’s time to go.

 

[clappers]

Coulson's not good enough.

League Two leggy donkey it looks like

 

[CAGU]

50 or so big boots out of defence and every one to a blue shirt!

 

[Costero Poderoso]

Norburn is an utter carthorse, get Byers and Dembele on now

thats a massive insult to carthorses

 

[1966_and_all_that]

That's me.

 

[Sunpool]

NC post match

Poor first half, matched them second half thought we might win the game. penalty was never a penalty killed the game. Poor decisions from the ref..

 

[ForeverTangerine]

ffs 0-3

 

[Halifax71]

Last min equaliser for Northampton at Oxford

 

[SeasideTizz]

Bizarre team selection as per,especially for a semi final.
What was the actual point in playing Virtue in a game like that?

 

[Macseasider]

Well beaten. That's about it.

We were outplayed and thoroughly lackluster. The story of the season with this Jekyll and Hyde team.

 

[Roy Kent]

That sums it up even more / worse

G’night

Now to spring the trap

not our goal

THEIR GOAL. Muppets

 

[Fargo99]

No complaints tonight guys, they got 3, should have been 5.

 

[doolan_legend]

This could and probably should have been 8-0

 

[mull]

Charlie Adam is in the crowd, we’d have been better off playing him tonight.

Fleetwood have looked decent under Charlie. Least they look organised, interested , cohesive and attack minded . We look ready a beach holiday already

 

[Enzo]

Good god our only hope of success and we go out with a whimper, we had an attacking bench though.

 

[John Deary me]

We deserve a consolation for having to watch this shit .

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

0-3, the least they deserve

Scoreline flatters us

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

For the sake of the club Sadler FFS get rid of Critchley now.

 

[zigire]

Oh well, meaningless stuff really... We won the important one.

 

[TangerinePeel]

Such a pathetic, spineless performance with a trip to Wembley on the cards. Can you even imagine if we made the play-offs this season? I'd be ** shitting myself.

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

I think we can safely say they aren’t playing for Critch. This is a decent enough Peterborough side. No where near as good as people earlier in the thread were making them out to be.

I don’t think this squad is playing for Critchley which suggests it’s time to go.

Not sure players would give up the chance to play at Wembley to not play for the manager. Maybe the players just aren't what we'd hoped they would be.

 

[Olliesoffhistrolley]

I know Peterborough are very good but Critchley must be one of the least clever ( I’m being polite ) managers we have had .

 

[hertfordseasider]

That was inexcusable, come on Sadler get Critchley out of our club he’s stinking the place out, and have a good look at your back room staff, you deserve a lot more for your investment.

Be brave with the next manager, no more boring energy vampires please!

 

[we_need_a_bob_hatton]

Im sorry...but Critchley got it all wrong tonight and if he gets pelters...he deserves it

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

How many times has husband hoofed it aimlessly down the line ? Dreadful

Said exactly the same thing.

Answer it’s the only way he knows.

 

[SeasideKurt]

Not sure players would give up the chance to play at Wembley to not play for the manager. Maybe the players just aren't what we'd hoped they would be.

I think the effort levels. The energy. They aren’t playing for that manager.

 

[thefutureistangerine]

How many times has husband hoofed it aimlessly down the line ? Dreadful

Him and Connolly were absolutely shocking tonight. Couldn't pick out a man if their lives depended on it.

 

[Wilburrabbit]

Lacklustre performance showing no technical ability or desire. No wonder the ground was half empty it’s been the same story for weeks. Didn’t deserve anything from the game.

 

[bleed_the_freak]

Leave your most creative players on the bench against one of the best footballing teams in the league?

The game was over as soon as the team sheet was announced

 

[mull]

Last min equaliser for Northampton at Oxford

AHH I admire your optimistic , rather clutching at straws optimism

 

[Loco]

Embarrassing.

 

[Halifax71]

Feel sorry for those that were bothered about tonight, the performance though has been woeful.

Always said a failure to make the playoffs would mean failure and a rightful sacking. Can't see how we'll make based on this.

 

[LeedsSeasider]

3-0 against a club that lost their last 4 games. Shocking. Nowhere near good enough tonight. Critchley surely within touching distance of being sacked now.

 

[doolan_legend]

At least Virtue has got 90 minutes in his legs for all those 5 minute cameos he’s going to get in the run in.

 

[TarletonTangerine]

Absolutely ** wank.

Hard to forgive NC for not starting his best 11. With very little hope of making the playoffs I will find it very hard to forgive this. 90mins from a trip to Wembley and he didn't give us a chance starting with the bench he did.

 

[A_Tense_Grin]

Ha commentator just said we put up a fight.

 

[Fylde Seasider]

Well at least the snake won't be fist pumping!

 

[Enzo]

Do I cancel my hotel or just go for the day that's all I'm bothered about now

 

[bfcpete]

Soundly beaten. Poor quality from us tonight

 

[SouthernSeasider]

2nd not a pen. Crap performance. Is what it is. Roll on Bolton - we need to get behind them for this one. Cannot stand that lot

 

[milo janus]

Glad we lost didn’t want a trip to Wembley to gloss over a dreadful season

 

[ForeverTangerine]

You have to hand it to Darren Ferguson though, that was excellent psychology on his behalf. Leading Critch into a false sense of security by letting us beat them at their patch on Saturday only to make us look like a bunch of novices tonight.
Not only are Posh in the final but they’re still in the play off mix.

 

[Loco]

I think the effort levels. The energy. They aren’t playing for that manager.

They should be playing for themselves tonight. Wembley.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Well most of us feared the worst and it’s happened.

Shockingly one sided game we never had a sniff they could have easily scored 5 or 6 tonight.

Critchley needs to hang his head in shame for that starting 11 in fact he should de shown the door shame Sadler doesn’t have the balls to do it.

 

[TarletonTangerine]

We deserve a consolation for having to watch this shit .

The streakers punishment is to watch every game for the next 5 years

 

[boabthebetter]

That's me done until Critchley has gone. Enough is enough.
