Posh player ratings

CONOR O’MALLEY

Beaten by a quality strike. Little to do otherwise even when Posh were down to 10 men ............. 6

JASON NAISMITH

He defended strongly throughout, but in a midfield diamond the full-backs need to be excellent offensively .......................................... 7

DANIEL LAFFERTY

Looked confident and controlled in possession and defended well ............................................. 7

RHYS BENNETT

A much improved effort by the centre-back who played with great commitment and determination .................................................. 7 BEN WHITE

The on-loan centre-back looks a classy addition to the squad. Good on the ball, but he is also a strong defender ............................................... 8

ALEX WOODYARD

The captain played better after Posh had a man sent off. Can’t fault his attitude ......................... 6

CALLUM COOKE

A good shift, but he doesn’t look suited to a midfield diamond. Played better when Posh changed shape ................................................. 6

JOE WARD

All at sea until allowed to move out wide as a wingback. Delivered a couple of great crosses 7 LEE TOMLIN

He was a little unlucky to be sent off, but he didn’t help himself by getting involved unnecessarily. Playing poorly anyway ...................................... 4

SIRIKI DEMBELE

Constantly fouled and limped off injured at halftime. Missed a good chance to score ............... 6

IVAN TONEY

Battled hard, but it was tough up top on his own in the second half .............................................. 6
