Posh player ratings

CONOR O’MALLEY

Very little to do, but his reluctance to leave his line is a factor in Posh looking suspect from corners 6

JASON NAISMITH

Defended well and also looked a threat when bombingforward ............................................... 7

BEN WHITE

Looked very comfortable in the middle of the back three. Read the game impressively, won many aerial challenges ........................................ 7

RHYS BENNETT

He played solidly until harshly adjudged to have conceded a late penalty and harshly sent off ...... 6

DANIEL LAFFERTY

Some good moments, but generally flattered to deceive when in attacking positions .................. 6

LOUIS REED

An excellent return to the side. Kept the ball moving accurately and efficiently ...................... 8

JOE WARD

He needs to be more positive and use his speed and crossing ability in attacking areas . .............. 6

CALLUM COOKE

A solid if unspectacular midfield display. Works hard, but no threat of goals or assists ................ 6

IVAN TONEY

Missed the chances to put Posh in front, but possibly unlucky to see a goal disallowed .......... 6

MARCUS MADDISON

Floated around in a menacing fashion without finding a killer pass or shot ................................. 7

MATT GODDEN

Linked up well with Toney on a couple of occasions, but never looked like scoring himself 6

SUBS USED

Kyle Dempsey: (for Cooke, 77 mins) Lee Tomlin: (for Godden, 82 mins) CONOR O’MALLEY

All three goals ended up in the same corner of his net, not that he could do a lot about them .......... 6

JASON NAISMITH

The most reliable of the three centre-backs which isn’t actually saying much ........................ 6

BEN WHITE

Too many sloppy moments both in possession and when defending .................................................. 5

RYAN TAFAZOLLI

His form has dipped alarmingly. He looked slow and weak in this game ......................................... 5

DANIEL LAFFERTY

Came as close as anyone to scoring and he defended okay .................................................... 6

ALEX WOODYARD

He is a ball-winner when he can find the pace and energy to get into the action .............................. 6

CALLUM COOKE

He’s steady enough, but he lacks the midfield dynamism this team needs ................................ 6

LEE TOMLIN

Struggled to get into the game. Made too many poor decisions .................................................... 5

MARCUS MADDISON

Created the best two scoring chances, but his set-pieces were dreadful. A big comedown after the heroics of the previous weekend . ................. 5

MATT GODDEN

Unfortunate to be denied an early goal by an offside flag, but received precious little service after that ............................................................ 9
