Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has launched a scathing attack on his own players after they lost their fifth game in a row last night, despite leading the game 2-1 with just 10-minutes to go.
Posh, who are managed by Darren Ferguson, son of Sir Alex, were heavily-tipped to gain automatic promotion straight back to the Championship after being relegated last season, and they started the season in fine form along with rivals Wolves and Leyton Orient.
However, out of a possible 18-points, they have only picked up one in the last six games and finally the chairman snapped.
“My patience is thin with this pathetic run we are on,” the Irish businessman said on Twitter.
“Our players need to grow some cajonas and stop talking a good game, then choking. Go & perform like men!”
“Honest opinion after watching my team lose fifth game in a row: played well enough but for calamity clown-like defending from experienced defenders which isn’t good enough and against a side you knew would bombard us with crosses,” added MacAnthony.
“It’s not rocket science to be fair.
“Plus it also doesn’t help when you have certain strikers spend their life playing around the halfway line when they should be in the box.”
