Town boss Paul Lambert passed the post-match duties onto his number two after goals from Posh pair Jonson Clarke-Harris and Joe Ward overturned an early goal from James Norwood.

Taylor told the Ipswich Evening Star: “Obviously we’re disappointed that we didn’t come away with the win that we were looking for.

“We set out to be aggressive, be positive and to go and attack them, not to sit off them and give them too much respect.

“We know they are one of the best attacking teams in the league, so it was important we tried to flip it around the other way and to try and attack them.

“Our start was what we were looking for, we went ahead and everything was fine in that sense. Obviously at the end of the second half it was one cross too many that went into our box. We didn’t deal with it and obviously we lost a goal. We’re really disappointed with that.

“The second goal was a fantastic finish, but we’re disapppinted we gave away a free kick on the edge of the box.

I don’t think there was much in the game at all. We had a good chance at the end through Troy Parrott. What an unbelievable save that was from their goalkeeper. It was just unfortunate that it didn’t go in the back of the net for us, but I think a draw would have been a fair result.”
