Hoop Blah To be clear, I'm not absolving Adkins of blame for this performance, but under no circumstances should that 11 be bad enough as it sounds they've been. Ultimately that comes down to the players themselves.

Yeah get yer Rubles out for the lads Anton
If he's short of some, he could raffle off his missus - we'll be able to make a late bid for Bale!
Hes tighter than a oxf*rd ducks arse
First of all, we have to applaud the supporters - it's not an acceptable results away from home.
What we have is group of players now, who have got to get themselves together.
We have a couple of days left of the transfer window, and I'll be speaking to the owner tomorrow - whether there is any movement there, I don't know.
Ramifications for Saturday - there are a group of players who didn't perform tonight, they'll be itching to play on Saturday. The players tonight will be feeling down, and we have to pick them up.
Tonight was an opportunity for the players to go and produce - fair to say that many of them didn't do that.
We don't just want to go route one, we have to get and pass the ball - perhaps some of the players found it challenging tonight.
Look at the goals tonight - poor poor goals, individual defensive mistakes they shouldn't be making.
Kebe was told on Friday he was playing [tonight] to save him travelling to the north west, he trained on Saturday Morning, left the training ground fit - come half past 8 on Monday morning, he has declared himself unfit. Read into that what you want. [do you know about he injury?] - who knows with Jimmy. I've been here since March, and he hasn't been available at all. I know a few clubs have been interested in him. As a manager, what can you do about that? Listen, Jimmy Kebe could have kept reading in the premier league. I'm disappointment he isn't fit and available.
[does the result have any bearing on bringing in new players] - no not at all.
[are you feeling under pressure going into the game on Saturday] - listen, we go away at the weekend, with a desire to get all three points.
Royal91 Only club in the world with a skint billionaire owner!
tmesis We had a weak squad by premier league standards, with a lack of investment, but this result isn't about a lack of investment.
Even with the changes we've made, losing to Peterborough alone would be a poor result.
Losing by this margin though, is unacceptable on every level possible.

Exactly.
We may not have the first 11 of the 106 but this is the strongest squad the club has ever had at this level....................this should be a wake-up call for Adkins and his highly tedious apologists.
I don't want him sacked "yet" but if there's one thing that incensed me tonight it was Kelly not getting a game.
This team can't buy a clean sheet and (assuming he was fit) is light years better than Gunter, who has been a liability defensively yet, our Irish international wasn't given a chance on a night when our manager was prepared to make 9 other changes from Saturday........................for this, Mr Adkin's, you really are a twat who got everything he deserved from Posh

You misunderstand me. I'm not talking about Adkins. I'm referring to how the players were saying how motivated they now are. Performances suggest otherwise.

Kelly's wife was in labour, that is why Kelly did not play
