Otherwise it became the weekly love-in for Posh midfielder Archie Collins, a player who never has an off day, according to one contributor to the PT’s regular ‘Fan Talk’ feature.

We gave Posh fans eight words to describe the game against the Grecians and asked them to nominate a man of the match.

Job done, well deserved win in the end. MOM Collins (again) – @CrispLevi

Worryingly lethargic in the first half. Better in the second. but a goalscorer is the missing link. MoM Collins with Edwards second for looking after the back – @navaloccasions.
