And that was the visitors to the Weston Homes Stadium were very poor!

That said a few Posh individuals earned praise after an improved performance, one that propelled Grant McCann’s men back into a play-off place, probably for 24 hours as Cambridge United would need to pull off a major shock at Derby County on Friday to stop the Rams climbing back into the top six.

Posh fans were asked to deliver a 6-word summary of last night’s match and to nominate a man of the match.

Club co-owner Dr Jason Neale was quick off the mark to sing the praises of the club’s younger players.
