1. WILL BLACKMORE
A very easy evening for the young goalkeeper. Did what he had to do competently and his huge kicking is a very useful attribute. 6.5 Photo: Joe Dent
2. FRANKIE KENT
There were a couple of uneasy moments for the centre-back, but he also made some excellent covering blocks, interceptions and tackles 7. Photo: Joe Dent
3. RONNIE EDWARDS
Apart from chasing headers he won't ever win, this was an accomplished 90 minutes from the man in the middle of the Posh back three. Read the game well so he saw danger and dealt with it. 7.5. Photo: Joe Dent
4. KELL WATTS
It could be a run of games is helping this left-sided centre-back come good. He played well here apart from one miscommunication with his goalkeeper and the manager might now have a decision to make re the Newcastle loanee's immediate future 7.5. Photo: Joe Dent
