The view from Posh:-

On a rain sodden pitch Peterborough United and Accrington Stanley somehow contrived to play a very entertaining football match. POSH managed at times to play some slick passing football at pace and also made some telling counter attacks. Hat-tricks for Boyd and Mclean, with CMS ending his dry spell (pun intended) with a brace. The scoreline does not do justice to Stanley. They also played some attractive football at times, and even though 4 - 0 down at half time, they scored twice in quick succession just after the restart, and you could sense the home fans getting a little nervous. Despite there only being about 20 Stanley fans they could be heard singing as the home crowd were so quiet. Once POSH scored their fifth goal though you could feel the relief, and POSH got going again scoring a further 3 times (it could have been more, but for some good defending).
Well played the POSH, but especially well done to Stanley for not giving up and making a good game of it, and the Stanley fans, a long journey, a heavy defeat, but you still applauded your players at the end of the match, true Football supporters!
