Darren Ferguson: Peterborough United Boss – Efl Trophy Win was “one day out”
A player who played a key role in obtaining elegant to Wembley was goalkeeper Jed Steer, who saved two penalties in theirs Winning to shoot on Wrexham in the semifinal.
But it was pleased that such heroics were not necessary against Birmingham, even if he made a crucial reaction except for Lukas Jutkiewicz during 11 minutes added to preserving a clean sheet.
“We entered the heavy hell, but we always believed. I don’t think I had a rescue to do in the first half, the guys in front of me were bright,” Steer said at the BBC Look East.
“We are a team and a club, which takes this competition very seriously – is a good competition because in the end you have this (Wembley).
“Any ending we are in, we want to win. From the point of view of a season, in the championship it probably did not go as we wanted it, but we got a day at Wembley and we hope to go in the last games, we can also take confidence in those games.”
The Ferguson manager, who remained a season on his current contract, had to reconstruct the team after a number of prominent players left last summer – and could face a similar challenge this summer.
But despite his desire for another promotion, the EFL Trophy will remain a special competition for the Scottish.
When asked that he was renamed in his honor, he replied: “One thing that is underestimated in football is how much you can do people.
“One day we have given people, and it’s a day that they will never forget. Our fans have been spoiled.”
Perhaps a change of name is unlikely, but what do you say of a freedom of the honor of the city for the “largest of all time” of Peterborough?
