Magnanimous Posh boss Darren Ferguson full of praise for Chorley
Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson accepted Chorley fully deserved to beat his team in the second round of the FA Cup
Posh led 1-0 after two minutes courtesy of Jack Taylor, but the Magpies hit back through goals from Connor Hall and Lewis Baines.
Posh boss Darren Ferguson said: “Shocks like this are what the FA Cup is about.
“These games are televised because of the chance of a shock and they got exactly what they came here for.
“I’ve got no complaints as were second-best all over the pitch and we should have lost by more in all truth.
“Sometimes in a cup match you can lose to a deflection or have complete domination but the other team score from their only two chances.
“But that wasn’t the case today and I have to dig a bit deeper to get to the bottom of a performance that was completely unacceptable for this football club.
“I need to look at it, analyse it and come up with some solutions. I’ve got my own ideas.
“But I really hope Chorley go on to get a great draw with one of the big clubs away from home because they fully deserved to win.”
