Posh player ratings

CONOR O’MALLEY

One worrying moment of hesitation almost cost Posh a goal, but competent otherwise .... 6

JASON NAISMITH

Claimed his first goal for the club and almost scored again soon afterwards. Defending was better when Posh switched to wing-backs ..... 7

TYLER DENTON

Looked all at sea and lethargic for the entire game ............................................................... 5

BEN WHITE

He’s clearly a decent player with the ball at his feet, but he didn’t seem to enjoy the rough and tumble of League One football . ....................... 6 RYAN TAFAZOLLI

He’s not the assured figure of earlier in the season. He also missed two good chances to score from set-pieces ..................................... 5

ALEX WOODYARD

Had very little impact on a game that just passed him by until an early substitution ..................... 5

KYLE DEMPSEY

Might have scored with a second-half header which summed up an unconvincing display .... 5

JOE WARD

Struggled in the midfield diamond, but later showed why he’s a threat when allowed to play out wide and deliver teasing crosses .............. 6 MARCUS MADDISON

Predictably set up the Posh goal with an excellent free kick. His set-piece delivery was outstanding, but he was wasteful in open play 6

LEE TOMLIN

His frustrating return to Posh continued as he was sacrificed early after Toney was sent off . 6

IVAN TONEY

Moment of madness to collect a red card and hand Shrewsbury the initiative ...................... 4
