0-2 / 1-2 / 2-2 / 2-3
Saw Bratters the other week. He said that he was going to this - oops
I can imaging that "2-0 and you f***ed it up" (one that always makes me chuckle) rang out from the home fans
I said to my mate last Saturday when we were discussing the Wigan defeat, that he attended but I didn't (Champions League wins the Tuesday night vote), that Posh's problem never has been going forward, it's at the other end of the pitch. Ferguson used to preach about clean sheets but never built a defence to deliver that, and that has continued to present day. Haven't seen any of yesterday's action but a half decent defence doesn't concede 3 goals to surrender a 2-0 lead. Occasionally it happens but Posh's speciality is conceding soft goals:
Peterborough United
01 Alnwick Booked (Captain booked! - wouldn't be directing cars for me.)
02 Smith
08 Bostwick (not booked )
12 Almeida Santos Booked
32 Elder Booked
33 Forrester (Collison - 49' )
07 Taylor Booked
15 J Anderson (Vassell - 83' )
10 Oztumer
28 Coulibaly (Angol - 57' )
14 Washington
Substitutes
09 Vassell
16 Beautyman
17 Davey
18 Fox
24 Angol
26 Henry
31 Collison
Att: 11,853
So Posh now floating mid table going nowhere which is a true reflection IMO - Coventry in the play-offs but not for long if they keep handing out 2 goal starts.
Coventry maintained their unbeaten home record in League One this season as they fought back to beat Peterborough.
Jermaine Anderson's low shot from Conor Washington's cross opened the scoring for the Posh and Erhum Oztumer doubled the lead from 25 yards.
Coventry got one back through Romain Vincelot on the rebound, before Adam Armstrong equalised from close range.
Armstrong slotted home again to seal the win, as the Sky Blues beat the Posh by the same scoreline as last season.
Coventry manager Tony Mowbray told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire: "We always knew it was going to be an open game; we knew it was a very dangerous game.
"It ebbed and flowed a little bit, and they're a very very good team. Maybe they couldn't sustain that high intensity. The second half: what can you say? The supporters dragged the team along, we attacked with purpose, and Armstrong's second goal - if any player in the world scored that we would be eulogising that.
"I'm delighted for the fans to see the team play with the heart they showed in the second half, and I'm delighted for the players as well. Hopefully everyone's going home happy." he's obviously never met Mick Bratley
