Peterborough United fans didn’t hold back after watching their side’s heaviest home defeat in a Football League match for almost three-and-a-half years yesterday (January 15).

The manager, the chairman and the players all received stick on social media after a 4-1 mauling at the hands of Coventry City at the Weston Homes Stadium.

The PT asked for six word summaries and a man-of-the-match nomination. All replies to @PTAlanSwann on Twitter.

Woeful display way off the pace. MOM Cornell second half.
