Peterborough United fans are much happier: ‘No fear football, a brave selection, crowd made a difference, shocking opponents and what’s happened to the London Road pitch?’

Peterborough United fans were understandably much happier after yesterday’s (December 12) 4-1 demolition of Rochdale in a League One fixture at the Weston Homes Stadium.

There was lots of love for wing-backs Idris Kanu and Harrison Burrows in particular.

We asked what prompted the Posh improvement and who was man-of-the-match.

All players pressing with high energy and playing with width. Kanu MOM.

@Connortlv

MOM Burrows. Pace and no fear football

@Rutlandspinner

Brave selection from Fergie. Players coming in took the opportunity well. MOM Kanu.

@martyntiney

Great first half, eased off second, should’ve scored more goals. MOM: Harrison Burrows.

@pufcfanno1

Crowd made match 3D instead of 2D - smiles return! MOM Harrison Burrows.

@TobyWoody

Shocking opponents. Kanu MOM.

Energy/high press, runners in behind, attacking threat/width from wing backs, composure/decision making in final 3rd, on form Brown, opposition who defended incredibly narrow with little pressure on ball & didnt adjust to deal with width.

@ReportPosh

Pretty sure the return of the fans made a large difference. The tempo was good at times and Posh pressed well. MOM has to be Clarke Harris due to hat trick but thought Burrows and Clarke fine and Reece Brown very good.

@mikeyposh58

MOM Burrows is an outstanding young player with so much potential.

@Alexnelson2004

Rochdale were awful, Kanu, Burrows, Clarke all quality.

@newsviewer

Hunger of fringe players refreshed starting 11. Kanu MOM.

@MichaelRutows4

The energy of youth and players in their best positions.

@capper_mike

What’s going on with that pitch? It was so good last season.

@VBagpuss1

We’ve planted carrots so we have something to lift next May!
