Exeter City boss happy to have won ‘ugly’ against Peterborough United
At halftime, a commanding Posh team led thanks to a penalty kick conversion by Harrison Burrows. However, Exeter took the lead after Michael Olakigbe, who was on loan from Brentford, was sent off. With a win against fourth-placed Posh and a loss to play-off contender Barnsley, Exeter climbed to fourteenth.
Within the first half, they posed a lot of questions to us, and they are a very good squad,” Caldwell stated to the Devon Echo. On defense, we played solid and held them to few opportunities; nevertheless, we let a goal in due to some slack play down our right side.
“We didn’t have a lot of shots to defend. I was satisfied with our patient pressing and our requests for them to build up with many passes; yet, we might have been more daring in possession and passed the ball more quickly.
I think it is a great victory, and it is the first time we have won in an ugly fashion since we passed back and put each other under pressure too many times.
“The sending-off had a big impact in the game, but in the second half, I thought we were a yard quicker We had more impetus in the second half, and it led to the red card, so all credit goes to the players for altering their mentality at halftime and going out and making the game different in the second half.
We went to Peterborough to ask them questions about the game, and we got what we wanted. When you are not at your best, you have to be resilient, dig in, and show character. So tonight, when we were not at our best, we found a way to win a football match.”
