FANS’ REACTION: The manager wins man-of-the-match nominations after Posh stand up to the Wigan ‘bullies’ and praise for THAT cross

Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson celebrated the 100th game of his third spell in charge by making match-changing substutions in the 2-1 home League One win over Wigan Athletic yesterday (February 27).

Ferguson even won man-of-the-match nominations from happy Posh fans as did teenage substitute Harrison Burrows for a superb cross that helped Posh get back in the game. Most fans voted for two-goal Jonson Clarke-Harris though.

We asked Posh fans for a six-word summary of yesterday’s match and a man-of-the-match nomination.
