After putting five past Millwall in midweek he had high hopes his unchanged team would record another big win as Oxford blooded twonewfull-backsandaleftbackplaying as a centre-half.

Instead, it was his own defence which failed i ts test. Halfway through four minutes of stoppage time, Ryan Taylor flicked the ball over the Posh defence and through to Chris Maguire whowasbundledoverinside the area by Jack Baldwin.

Tom Nichols equalised in the 62nd minute to set up a frantic finale during which Posh were guilty of poor decision-making.
