There was little else to cheer for the Posh fans who were back at London Road for the first time in eight months.
RATINGS KEY: 10-Brilliant, 9-Outstanding, 8-Very Good, 7-Good, 6-Okay, 5-Poor, 4 Very Poor.
1. DAI CORNELL
The debutant goalkeeper was the one player to emerge with credit from a severe mauling. Several good saves and couldn't be blamed for any of the goals. 8.
2. FRANKIE KENT
Started on the left of the back three and never looked happy. Moved more central in a four, but still appeared uncomfortable. Is his place under threat already? 5
3. RONNIE EDWARDS
The teenager looked more ill at ease than in any other of his first-team starts. Hardie was too quick and strong for him. 5
4. JOSH KNIGHT
It was a shame we didn't get to see him play as a centre-back for longer. He moved into midfield where he again struggled 5.
