Posh player ratings

v BURY

JONATHAN BOND

Some impressive handling throughout. Looked very secure and athletic ..................................... 7

LIAM SHEPHARD

Up against two lively Bury raiders and just about held his own defensively .................................... 6

ANDREW HUGHES

No problems down his side of the Posh defence. A couple of promising attacki ng forays also ......... 7

JACK BALDWIN

A cracking defensive effort from the captain. Did most to repel almost constant second-half raids from the home side ............................................ 9

STEVEN TAYLOR

Aterrific foil for the skipper. Reads the game so well ..................................................................... 7

LEO DA SILVA LOPES

An athletic display on his 100th Posh appearance. Didn’t pass well, but a solid defensive job ........... 6 CHRIS FORRESTER

Played a lot of first-time passes, not always accurately .......................................................... 6

JOE WARD

Got bogged down on a heavy pitch more than most ................................................................... 6

MARCUS MADDISON

Poor until finding a defence-splitting pass to help win the game. Spent as much time trying to fool the officials as he did trying to create chances ..6

DANNY LLOYD

Lively and aggressive only for a brief period in the first half .............................................................. 6

JACK MARRIOTT

Another brilliant finish was a just reward for a 90-minute display of non-stop running. Player-ofthe-Year awards are surely sewn up .................. 8

SUBS USED

Omar Bogle: (for Ward, 70 mins). George Cooper: (for Lloyd, 86 mins). Ryan Tafazolli: (for Maddison, 90 mins).

v CHARLTON

JONATHAN BOND

Suffered a shaky start and didn’t convince for the rest of the match .............................................. 6

LIAM SHEPHARD

Struck to his task well against a decent opponent. Got forward well at times ................................... 7

ANDREW HUGHES

Another solid defensive display and ventured upfield to score the crucial first goal ................. 7

JACK BALDWIN

One horror challenge led to a yellow card, but he was rock solid otherwise ................................... 7

STEVEN TAYLOR

A 90-minute display of cool, calm, assured defending ........................................................... 7

LEO DA SILVA LOPES

A promising return to the side for a youngster who enjoyed having the freedom of midfield. Passed tidily, worked hard ................................. 7 CHRIS FORRESTER Cruised around the park, tried some ambitious passes, not all of them came off .......................... 7

JOE WARD

He can look quite classy at times. Set up the first goal, played a big part in the second goal ........... 7

MARCUS MADDISON

A mixed bag, but came into his own when the game opened up late on ...................................... 6

OMAR BOGLE

Offside far too often and he’s not making the most of his physical attributes .................................... 6

JACK MARRIOTT

Two late goals were deserved after another hard-running display. His quality wasn’t always there, but he’s indispensible .............................. 7

SUBS USED

Michael Doughty: (for Ward, 70 mins). Danny LLoyd: (for Bogle, 76 mins). Jermaine Anderson: (for Da Silva Lopes, 83 mins).
