Francis Green
Ex-Peterborough forward on BBC Radio CambridgeshireThere's a lot of players out there who have given every single inch. Playing extra time, with the emotion, and the occasion, is huge.
Then to take a penalty, they'll be shattered.
You've got to have a one-on-one duel with a goalkeeper. You have to have the mindset to put the ball where you want, and not let anything distract you.
It'll go down in history, this night, it is remarkable. Posh just have to hope history is on their side.

A late yellow for Jack Hunt as the Sheffield Wednesday substitute puts in a cynical foul.

They're absolutely on their last legs, cramp is setting in, but they're still going.
Callum Patterson has been man of the match tonight, he's epitomised the team spirit. He's won everything in the air, he's done everything he could.
I'm getting emotional now, what a night.

I can't believe it.
Sheffield Wednesday just don't know when they're beaten tonight.

We're off to penalties if it stays like this!

Ex-Sheff Wed manager on BBC Radio SheffieldPeterborough are doing a very good job of managing this game now.
They didn't do it at all during the 90 minutes.
They have pressed the reset button, they're starting to slow things down.

Joolz: Regardless of the final result, I’m hoping Darren Moore gets the respect he deserves after this, especially following on from the abuse he received from the end of the first leg.
Mick: It would be a massive injustice if Sheffield Wednesday didn't reach the play-off final after gaining 96 points in the season and then recovering from a 4-0 first-leg deficit.
Nicholas: Nope sorry, THAT is proper Spursy (see 22:16).
