Posh fans criticise the club’s planning and execution

Posh fans were largely critical of the club’s planning and execution for a Championship season which ended in relegation.

There was some support for the club, but the vast majority of comments sent to @PTAlanSwann on Twitter were negative.

Eight years to get here and we messed it up before a ball had even been kicked. @clarkbatfan

Two points in defence of the owners: 1) we won’t go bust 2) with a settled team we could probably have stayed up - fitness, injuries, stupid FA suspensions had an impact.

@PaulSpringford

When up against better players and richer clubs you need to get recruitment spot on. We failed there, but it’s always a gamble. The unacceptable failure for me was the lack of fitness, pace and aggression throughout the squad (before Grant McCann’s arrival).

@paul_gauntlett

Thank God we have owners who run Posh differently to those who break rules & get points deductions.

@Poshboyalan

Doomed in pre season, had another chance to put it right in January and didn't, changed manager too late. @DazMoody

We had tried so hard for so long to get into the Championship and were then unprepared for it. Reactions/ changes were way too late and didn’t happen until Fergie quit.

@emmaverde9

This season has been a disaster, but one of our own making for failing to prepare properly.

@SteveDilley1

A process with a good

League One manager who previously was proven to be out of his depth at Championship level. Tactics were questionable.

@mikeyposh58

Will the owners ever admit they were at fault with the recruitment and explain what trust the process meant?

@MNurrish

It's occurred to me more than once that this season may not have been quite so half-assed had the stadium project been smoother to date or not even have been taking place. I'm pleased we've gone out throwing a few defiant punches.

@Paul_Cyclops

I wrote us off when it took an age to sign anyone last summer. I’d imagine all our plan A and B targets wouldn’t sign so we ended up with anyone who would. @mdguy21
