Player verdicts
STEVENAGE
CHRISTY PYM
Absolutely nothing to do. The Stevenage goal came from a defensive slip by others .............. 6
NATHAN THOMPSON
He’s not a right back likely to bomb forward from the right back position. Solid defender .............. 5
DAN BUTLER
Sends in a couple of dangerous crosses in every game, but also some poor ones . ......................... 6
MARK BEEVERS
Dominated a poor set of forwards ..................... 7
FRANKIE KENT
Little to concern him defensively apart from the odd wobble under the high ball .......................... 6
LOUIS REED
Another attempted tackle/interception went wrong and cost Posh a goal . .............................. 5
ALEX WOODYARD
Worked his socks off as usual, but lacked the quality to make a success of his midfield role ..... 6
HARRISON BURROWS
A very lively first-half from the 17 year-old, but faded after the break ......................................... 6
MARCUS MADDISON
Saved the day, and made up for some erratic personal deliveries, with a wonderful goal ........ 7
IVAN TONEY
He does well considering how isolated he often is and how poor the service to him has become .... 6
MO EISA
Forced one decent save from the home ‘keeper in an otherwise quiet game . .................................. 5
Subs used
Niall Mason (for Reed, 67 mins) ......................... 6 Siriki Dembele (for Eisa,67 mins) ...................... 5 Joe Ward (for Thompson, 74 mins) .................... 6

AARON CHAPMAN
Caught crosses well and made a key save late on to deny Cambridge an equaliser . .................... 7
JOE WARD
A great goal from a free kick, but he endured some wobbly moments before limping off ......... 6
FRAZER BLAKE-TRACY
Rock solid defensively and linked up well with team-mates when venturing forward ............... 7
RHYS BENNETT
A couple of howlers early on nearly cost Posh, but played strongly towards the end of the game .... 6
SAM CARTWRIGHT
A most competent 45-minute appearance ........ 7
KYLE BARKER
A combative midfielder who is decent on the ball and strong in the tackle. Good performance ..... 8

A smooth runner with the ball who almost scored with a venemous shot that struck a post ............ 7
SERHAT TASDEMIR
Didn’t play in his best position, but still delivered a couple of impressive moments .......................... 6
SIRIKI DEMBELE
Not suited to the tip of a diamond as he doesn’t play with his head up. Some good dribbling ....... 6
IDRIS KANU
Excellent attitude and workrate. Hard to shake off the ball ........................................................... 7
RICKY-JADE JONES
A quality finish on his full Posh debut. His pace was always a threat ............................................ 7
