It was a first round FA Cup tie that exposed the downside of a desire to play out from the back as both Salford City goals in a 2-2 draw were the result of careless errors by goalkeeper Nicholas Bilokapic.
Picking a man-of-the-match wasn’t easy, but the weakest link was pretty obvious.
RATINGS KEY: 10-Brilliant, 9-Outstanding, 8-Very Good 7-Good, 6-Okay, 5-Poor, 4-Awful
1. NICHOLAS BILOKAPIC
Two awful blunders with the ball at his feet, something that has threatened to happen a few times this season. He'll need lifting after costing Posh both goals - 4. Photo: Joe Dent
2. JADEL KATONGO
Took the softest of cautions in the early stages, but was pretty composed at right-back afterwards until his second-half substitution. Just lacks the speed in this position to carry much of an attacking threat - 6.5. Photo: David Lowndes
3. ZAK STURGE
The second Salford goal shouldn't be owned by the left-back as he'd seemingly stopped any hint of danger. Erratic in possession at other times and hesitant with the ball at his feet in attacking positions - 6. Photo: Joe Dent
4. JOSH KNIGHT
The Posh centre-backs were strong and hardly gave dangerman Matt Smith a kick. Knight was captain for the day and tried to lead by example. Pushed forward when he could - 7. Photo: David Lowndes
