Big Bayo is spot on

GARETH AINSWORTH says his players no longer feel like they are League One minnows after snatching a thrilling lastgasp draw at Adams Park.

Mo Eisa and Josh Knight gave Peterborough a 2-0 half-time lead, but Adebayo Akinfenwa’s header and a Frankie Kent own goal levelled things.

Ivan Toney put Posh back in front, but Wycombe, despite losing Curtis Thompson to a red card, earned a point thanks to Akinfenwa’s stoppage-time penalty.

Ainsworth, whose team remain second, said: “The players have come in and said ‘Gaffer, we don’t feel like we’re little Wycombe anymore, we feel like we can compete’ and I agree totally.

“This is the best team that has come to Adams Park all season. If they’re not in the top four at the end of the year I’d be very surprised. I think Darren Ferguson is a fantastic manager and they’ve got some brilliant players. But so have we. You can’t put into words the pride I’ve got for these players”

Peterborough boss Ferguson said: “We’re conceding really soft goals, that’s the problem and that’s the Achilles heel.

“At the end of the day, we’ve conceded three goals in a half of football. That’s never going to work. The second half was very disappointing.”
