Peterborough United fans slam 'lethargic, gutless' team after shocking home defeat

The manager, the chairman and the players were all targeted on X after the PT asked for comments on a result that leaves Posh too close for comfort to the relegation zone.

All comments, including some choice descriptive words, to @PTAlanSwann on X...

Too many just aren’t good enough for League 1. Many will be in the National League soon. 3 questions …1. What is the manager doing well? 2. What are the coaches doing well? 3. What are the players doing well? We won’t be relegated but what will the summer bring? It’s just so obvious that too many of the players just aren’t good enough – some of them are real triers, but you need more than that – @TobyWoody.

Told you I wasn’t a Williams fan. Talks a good game, bit like the chairman - @PUFCChris

Shameful performance. No quality, no fight, no passion. Luke Williams should stop being a nice uncle. Time for a bit more stick than carrot – @Milanvanco1

Good job Swanny can still give us the "hard truth" – @Sweeney95Alex

Now is the time to be angry. Inquest is needed in what’s going on behind the scenes. 2nd season in a row players have seemingly downed tools for all but 15ish games, under a totally different manager, with a totally different man-management style – @tomwoods35

If you remove Nov & Dec from this season it has been an absolute shocker. The players are showing no passion or intensity. They think they are safe. If Exeter beat Stockport on Saturday they might realise there is still a job to be done. Tonight was simply unacceptable - @cooper_derren

Luke Williams says it all in his interview. They’ve essentially stopped caring – @eamonnduff

If we survive this season, we need a massive rethink in the close-season, and not just on the pitch. Players look idle and unconcerned, fans are tired of underperforming players, ground is in limbo, can't decide which end to put fans, no new stadium news. These are grim times – @andyhutchcraft

Why not play Kioso right back? It’s his best position by a mile. Then play Okagbue next to Lees. Dornelly was atrocious on Saturday and he did not deserve to start tonight. Leonard has to put himself about more. Williams brought intent and urgency when he came. It appears to have gone – @The_real_bats

League 2 adventure awaits – @pboromikky

They literally have no fight in them at all and if Exeter win on Saturday I don’t think we could handle the pressure to win on Sunday – @aaronlake629

Fergie, Williams the problem NOOOO. The recruitment and players are – @steffandarcy

The manager brought urgency when he first came, that’s gone out the window. Slow, pathetic football. It was so obvious Dornelly needed to come out the side after Blackpool yet he stays in the side. Neither of the wingers can beat a full back. Absolutely atrocious – @LukeRivett95

I always say before it gets worse, It gets worse. Tonight, it was even worse then ever – @Beanie1957

Gutless performance. No pride or passion. Too many players look like they are already on the beach. Big summer ahead for the manager – @IanJBryant

Fergie was sacked for a similar run of defeats. Do we really think that Williams will get us promoted next year - @poshrobin

League Two beckons, unless we wake up!!!! – @CHAMM24

We really could go down and I don't think Williams has mentioned it to the players – @Mark9697

They wrote the season off in January and the laid back attitude has rubbed off onto this weak group of players! – @davidwh1971

Disgraceful – @tomsan456

Lacklustre, lethargic, pedestrian, blunt, uninspiring, and underwhelming – @scarboroughsss

Just abject from start to finish – @StevenAdams2

Chairman needs to realise that first, instead of bleating on a podcast that he isn’t worried. He should be the one worried most. Only one team looked like they played 48 hours ago and are on the cusp of relegation… and it wasn’t Port Vale – @clarkbatfan
