Huddersfield Town boss felt his side were far from their best despite a comfortable 4-1 win over Peterborough United

Huddersfield Town boss Martin Drury felt his side were far from their best despite thumping Peterborough United 4-1 at the Accu Stadium

Former Posh striker Joe Taylor scored twice to take his League One goals tally to eight this season. The 23 year-old led a late scoring surge of three goals in the final quarter of the game for a Huddersfield team now in second place.

But Drury wasn’t satisfied.

He told the Yorkshire Post: "It was chaotic. It was basketball at times. I didn't enjoy it. My heart rate didn't enjoy it. I felt first half we looked a little bit tired mentally. Some of our decision making was not quite as good as it normally is.

"And we lacked a little bit of quality in moments where we're normally much better. We didn't hurt the opponent in the first half as much as we'd have liked to.

"In the second half, the players made a real positive response to that. I don't think it was a perfect performance, far from it. I don't think it was clean at all.

"We were nowhere near our best. But I thought we had enough moments of quality in the second half to win us the game.

“The players are quite flat in the changing room and a little bit down. We weren't very good tonight, but if they can feel like that and we can feel like that and we can win 4-1, then that's a healthy sign.

"And our the goals were very, very well taken."
