That was the opinion of head coach Dale Tonge who was on post-match media duties after goals from Ricky-Jade Jones, Joel Randall and Jack Marriott had secured a comfortable victory in the first Posh friendly of the summer.

"It was a great way to end a very pleasing trip,” Tonge said. “It’s given us a very good platform to build on. There were no injuries and everyone got minutes.
