The Peterborough Telegraph is not disagreeing. Goalkeeper Christy Pym, who saved a penalty, and Jack Taylor, who supplied a fine early finish, provided the only Posh highlights as they were comprehensively outplayed by a team 89 places below them in the football ladder.
Posh were so poor, a new 3/10 rating has been introduced for the day and we’ve included a manager rating for the first time.
Ratings key: 10-Perfect, 9-Outstanding, 8-Very good, 7-Good, 6-Okay, 5-Poor, 4-Very poor, 3-Simply dreadful.

5.
RYAN BROOM: A great opportunity for the summer signing following Ward's injury, but he's not coming close to taking it. Reluctant to take his marker on and he defended poorly 3.
6.
DAN BUTLER: I'd love to know where the dynamic wing-back who finished last season so strongly has gone. Timid defensively and off the pace offensively. Barely a positive moment in the game 3.
7.
JACK TAYLOR: A cracking finish gave Posh an early lead, but even he struggled from then on, until playing Dembele through in the final minute. Passed poorly generally and was also weak in the challenge which is not like him 4.
8.
REECE BROWN: Too many touches in possession meant many Posh moves were slowed down or broke down too quickly. He lacks the pace to recover when he loses possession 3.
