Are we genuinely at a point where we are advocating playing decent Premier League strikers, Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney, over the greatest English goalscorer of my lifetime in Harry Kane? I'm lost for words here.
The issue is with the manager who has failed to designed a system to get the best out of any of our best players. Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham all looked terrible today. We are ignoring the real issue here.
✍ We are pleased to announce the signing of goalkeeper 𝐉𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫, who has put pen to paper on a short-term contract at the football club to provide cover, with Nicholas Bilokapic currently in the treatment room.
Welcome Jed!

Harrison Burrows deserves a massive amount of credit. Only 19. Play him left wing back, as a winger, CAM or in centre mid and he never looks out of place. A proper homegrown talent. 👏
Darren Ferguson has created something very, very special here. We are league title contenders, and I don’t say that lightly. This is some of the best football I have ever seen from a Posh side from a technical standpoint.
Archie Collins and Hector Kyprianou were absolutely leagues above their options in central midfield, no matter how many subs they made. We have a genuinely top class pairing in there.
HUGE! Whatever money we lost on not selling Jonson Clarke-Harris in January has just been repaid. A complete game changer. Credit to his professionalism to still be putting in performances like that, despite the circumstances. Another massive moment from him in a Posh shirt.
It should be said that winning the EFL Trophy and securing a play off spot so comfortably, in the style we have done it, makes this one of the best seasons we’ve had & it’s surpassed all expectations. The players & management deserve a lot of credit whatever happens from here 👏
I defy anyone to watch that 45 minutes of football and say they can’t see a player in Ricky Jade Jones. He has terrified them with his pace and also led a press from the front brilliantly. Deserves to be getting so much more love. He’s such a key part of this team now.
Archie Collins is rapidly becoming my favourite Posh midfielder since Grant McCann. An absolute class act from the moment he walked in the door. What a player.
Cannot overstate how impressive that was. So many positives to take. Kyprianou is becoming a seriously brilliant player. Poku could have a massive season. Kioso has added so much. Edwards is just class. Collins another amazing addition. Outstanding.
Everyone talks about Randall’s transformation but Josh Knight’s improvement this season has also been remarkable. He has been a rock ever since he stepped back into this team. Back to even better than when he was on loan. His inclusion in the side has made a huge difference.
Ephron Mason-Clark is reaching that elite level of Posh attacker for me. He is in the Boyd, Tomlin, Dembele, Gayle category. Excited to see where he can go because I think his ceiling is so high. He has everything.
If that is his last game, what a way for JCH to sign out. It may just have shown that he's a bit of a spare part nowadays but if you give him the right service he continues to be unplayable at this level. A brilliant professional and player for this football club. A modern great.
If that is to be Josh Knight’s last display at London Road I thought he went out in such style and was probably our best player on the night. I really hope he considers signing a new contract because he’s been phenomenal this season & I wouldn’t mind him being captain next term.
Ronnie Edwards! Special talent. Shame there’s been a few Posh fans determined to drag him down at every opportunity, but he’s going to go and have a superb career at the very top level. It’s undeniable. Another massive performance & a few million more added to that price tag!
Ephron Mason-Clarke is the best winger in the league, Joel Randall’s best game in a Posh shirt, Kwame Poku totally unplayable. That was magnificent Posh.

We can confirm that striker Siriki Dembele has completed a move to AFC Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee.
Thank you for everything Dembs, and best of luck in the future! 🔵

Proper striker’s goal from Ricky to win it. And it was so thoroughly deserved. We just played Derby off the park at their own ground. So proud of this group of players. Special performance.
Conn Clarke, Udoh & Poku in the same attack next season. We are going to be a lot of fun to watch. Defenders are going to be untangling their legs after facing us.
Delighted to announce the signing of 22 year old attacking player Chris Conn Clarke from Altrincham FC on 3 year (plus option year) deal for high six figure sum. Non league player of year & will be a great addition to our attacking ranks & to our young squad

Loved Sammie when he was here obviously but I’ll be honest I never believed he had this level of scoring capability in the Championship. Amazing how much he’s developed since leaving. Delighted for him.
It’s been a fantastic season but I can’t help but feel that starting XI should have achieved promotion and it’s going to be pretty gutting watching it get dismantled this summer.
Ben Thompson is proper strange btw. Giving it to the fans was really poor, considering so many were actually very supportive of him despite his clear lack of technical ability. Nathan Thompson at least got a good reception and remains a great servant to the club, hope he’s okay.
Four minutes added on, someone runs on the pitch for two minutes and there's a sub and he plays for 4:30. I cannot tolerate refereeing levels in this country. They are nothing short of a disgrace.
@rwmufc20
Kane has outscored Rooney for club and country. Rooney was a brilliant player, and arguably grabbed games by the scruff of the neck more than Kane, but he's not a better goalscorer.
@DMAC102
Plays long-ball ✅
Prefers hard-work to technical ability ✅
Former players have celebrated after he left ✅
Questionable antics on the touch line ✅
Refers to himself in the third person during interviews ✅
Really not delighted to have Steve Evans as new Posh manager.
Couldn’t ask for any more. Great effort from every single of them. Thought Fuchs in particular was outstanding in midfield. Just a shame that Szmodics couldn’t connect properly at 0-0.
I really hope the club reverse this decision. All for in house commentary but banning Radio Cambs seems incredibly short sighted and will really impact a lot of the older generation who will no longer be able to access our games.
We are delighted to announce that Posh+ will be the home for exclusive commentary of Peterborough United matches during the 2023-2024 campaign.

Looks like Tshimanga is coming in for a fee similar to the one we got for Marriott (£250k). Sensible business. Considerably younger, on lower wages and more adept at playing as a lone striker. Quite excited by this one, think it's a good move.

Ronnie Edwards put in another masterclass at the back today. That moment when he beat about three Oxford players to the ball in the second half, just when they had momentum, was superb. He’s really bulked out now, makes him a much better defender.
Feel like there has definitely been an overreaction to the Steer news. We were doing great with Bilokapic and while Steer did look more assured, I am all in on the club policy now. Time to back our youngsters who got us here. If tight with FFP it may not even be a terrible thing.
Can’t believe some of the stuff I’m reading about Ricky tonight by the way. He was much more effective than Mothersille and there’s a reason our best spell came when he was on. I’d probably start him Wednesday.
Gareth Southgate is a lovely bloke, who has seemingly a great environment in camp, but nowhere near a good enough tactician to get us over the line. Some miraculous moments and lucky draws don’t stop that. This should be the end.
Whoever our groundsman is deserves as much criticism as any player by the way. The state of the pitch is a complete disgrace and not fitting of a team that plays football to the level we do. I’d be embarrassed if that was my job.
We have been so, so good so far. Our best performance since Derby. Where has this been in the league recently? Mothersille looks like he could be a great addition to the starting line-up for the rest of the season, he's been great.
Also I’ve read some really unfair criticism of Mason-Clark recently. I thought he showed undoubtedly that he cared last night. Got kicked every time he got the ball, kept getting up, kept demanding it. Got his full back subbed off. He did all he could.
I'll continue to bang this drum but I hope all those who expressed such frustration at Mothersille being dropped saw the value in Ricky-Jade Jones tonight. He terrified them. He was our best defender. It was like watching Mackail-Smith on steroids. A great off the ball display.
Ephron Mason-Clarke is the highest potential attacker we’ve had since Ivan Toney. I think he even has slightly more to his game than Siriki Dembele. He’s incredible.
Just hope we don't freeze tonight. Play our game, hit them on the counter, kill any rhythm in the game. Realistically we just have to score tonight & then it's surely done. That has to be the game plan. Don't sit in, don't let them build pressure, kill them with pace. Up the Posh
Stadium almost sold out tonight, over 10k at Reading, sold out for Leeds, taking big numbers to Derby and I suspect Charlton will sell well too. Great support recently and good to see the club continuing to grow. 👏

Gareth Southgate is a great speaker and deals with the press brilliantly but other than that there are no redeeming qualities for his management. He is a coward, scared to ever take the hand break off, and has no idea how to manage a group of attackers of this quality.
Unsure why there’s backlash over these prices. Seems reasonable enough now. How cheap were people expecting the club to make them? I don’t have an ST, so it’s absolutely fair I pay more than someone who made that commitment at the start of the season.
Perfect way to win it, really, with Burrows playing such a key role. I thought the game itself was pretty flat for large periods but what a last 10 minutes. Kyprianou, Edwards and Knight all also deserve credit for their displays.
@EmeraldPosh
MADNESS! Get runners around him like he's had his whole career. Ollie Watkins winning us a few corners has seemingly changed the whole discourse. Why are we not discussing why Southgate wants to put Foden, Bellingham and Kane all in the same areas?
Back to our very best. This squad has so much ability, I just hope that is the moment we got our levels back. Archie Collins was outstanding. Delighted for Burrows to get two. Jed Steer also so accomplished with ball at feet, which aided the clean sheet. Well done lads!
