The Peterborough Evening Telegraph
Cornell, Beevers and Jones were the least poor
DAI CORNELL
A late call-up after first-choice Steven Benda fell ill in the warm-up and he didn’t let anyone down. A couple of fine full-length saves ................................ 6
JOSH KNIGHT
Battled gamely, but could do little to stop regular incursions into the Posh penalty area. A couple of good recovery challenges only .................................. 5
RONNIE EDWARDS
He just gets on with his game of short, accurate passing, but defensively he struggled against the movement and power of his opponents ..................... 5
MARK BEEVERS
A surprise recall for his first start in the Championship since January 25 and the experienced defender did well. Good in intheairandcopedonthedeck ....... 7
JOE WARD
Back to his safety first days of backward passing and no aggressive running.
His set pieces were also poor in a disappointing display from the rightwingback position ............................. 5
HAYDEN COULSON
The on-loan wingback was accident prone going forward before the break and didn’t appear to want to sprint back into defensive positions ..................... 5
JEANDO FUCHS
He’s a midfield trier, but he couldn’t get close to a more talented set of opposition midfielders. Probably knackered after his City exertions .... 5
JORGE GRANT
Failed to impress the new manager by delivering a weak, hesitant and unproductive performance. Hooked at half-time ............................................ 5
SAMMIE SZMODICS
Technically he can struggle at Championship level. Effort can be guaranteed though and he was part of a couple of promising moments ........ 5
KWAME POKU
Poked a decent chance wide before the break and then taken off in the 26th minute as Posh chose to shore up a 2-0 deficit ................................................ 5
RICKY-JADE JONES
A terrific shift from the teenager who toooften had to run solo and from too deep a position. At least his speed and strength can get Posh up the pitch ... 6
Subs used Oliver Norburn
(for Poku, 26 mins) Immediately booked and thenplayed safe rather than snap into tackles. Probably should have started ........... 5
Jack Marriott (for Grant, 46 mins)
Made a couple of good runs that went unnoticed by teammates. One halfchance late on was blocked ............... 6
Jonson C-Harris (for Jones, 68 mins) Barelyreceivedakickoftheball.Second toeverypassthatcamehisway,notthat there were many ............................... 5
