Peterborough United are a good team with very good footballers for League One level according to Northampton Town manager

Goals from Nathan Thompson and Reece Brown secured a 2-0 win for Posh. Posh are now fifth in the fledgling League One table with Cobblers down in 19th.

Curle told the Northampton Chronicle: “The match showed we need to improve and we need to continue that improvement.

“They’re a good team and they’ve got some very good footballers for this level, but it shows the standard we need to get up to.

“It was good play by them and good movement to get their man in the for the first goal. The second goal was a bit of brilliance, but I thought we were naive. We had them penned in at a throw-in but they were able to get a free shot off in the box.

“I thought we contained them well in the second-hal,f but in the first-half at times it showed they are slightly ahead of us in terms of what we want to get to.

“There’s nothing wrong with identifying that, but what we need to do now is identify the areas, individually and collectively, where we can get better.”
