13. Joe Ward. Grade C. Appearances: 26 Goals: 3
A little more self-belief and this gifted player could become one of the top players in the squad. Hes quick and he can deliver the sort of cross Toney would love to receive, but Ward has a tendency to make the safe pass rather than trust his natural attacking ability. His defensive work has improved greatly since the start of the year. | jpimedia

14. Niall Mason. Grade C. Appearances: 29 Goals: 0
Every successful squad in the lower divisions has a couple of players comfortable in more than one position and Mason fits that bill for Posh. Hes been reliable without being sensational at right back and as a more central defender. Hes good on the ball and a tenacious tackler, but might now struggle to get in the side if everyone else is available. | jpimedia

15. Louis Reed. Grade C. Appearances: 24 Goals: 1
When hes on his game this midfielder looks a class act, but hes now suffering for an indifferent run of performances over Christmas and the arrival of some decent talent during the January transfer window. Its tough to see him playing too much more this season as Taylor and Knight look set to occupy the deeplying midfield positions. | jpimedia

16. Rhys Bennett. Grade: C. Appearances: 13 Goals: 0
This hard-working centre-back has been unlucky not to play more games this season as when hes been called-up hes been rock solid. Posh could have sold Bennett in January but held on even though its clear he is unlikely to ever be come a first-choice under the current manager. Decent back-up for the run-in though. | jpimedia
