⚽ Match Thread vs. Peterborough Utd. 30.11.24 [FAC R2]

Reading this you would honestly think we had just lost 4-0 to a team in the conference and we were in the bottom half of the league.
The fans calling for Maynard to be sacked I’ll guarantee were saying we’d be bottom half before the season started. Yet here we are, with a depleted squad just 2 points outside the automatics.
If we’d have sacked Maynard in the summer and were currently in the same position, people would be saying it’s proof that Maynard wasn’t good enough.
As for the subs. Posh were pilling on the pressure and it felt the inevitable was coming. He brought on Ness to add more height at the back and Austin as Tsaroulla was fading.
I think AJ was coming off with Tuesday in mind but Scott then went down with what looked like a hamstring injury.
If Didzy is injured, and I suspect he is if he wasn’t on the bench, and Scott has just gone down holding his hammy then I’m glad AJ went off if he’s our only fit striker.
We were under similar pressure at Doncaster and Maynard got panned for not making changes. Then when he does, he still gets panned.
We lost 4-3 to a league 1 team and dominated for large spells. Calling for the managers head is bed wetting at its finest!

Not sure how both Peterborough piling on the pressure and we dominated for long spells can both be true but either way I thought we were fairly comfortable 2nd half until the subs. We might have capitulated anyway but they certainly didn?t help.

If we were pulling trees up in the league you could put today down as one of those things, but we all know the vast majority of this season has been thoroughly mediocre regardless of our false position in the league.

Mediocre? Ok we?re not 5points clear at the top but 5th is not mediocre. Maybe Port Vale Walsall and Crewe are in a false position too and Carlisle and Swindon ? Or is it just teams managed by Maynard
