Posh player ratings

CONOR O’MALLEY

A rash dash from his goalline cost Posh a goal. It’s an error he keeps making .................................. 6

JASON NAISMITH

Made some strong bursts down the wing, but didn’t cross the ball well. Defended solidly which is the main part of his job .................................... 7

DANIEL LAFFERTY

Gave the ball away far too often and looked weak defensively ......................................................... 5

RHYS BENNETT

He’s far from the rock he was at the start of the season. Conceded a needless penalty and looked suspect all night ................................................. 5

BEN WHITE

Moments of quality in possession but his defending was erratic ........................................ 6

ALEX WOODYARD

The captain was all over the place before the break, but finished the game strongly ............... 6

CALLUM COOKE

A steady passing display in the midfield diamond, but not a lot of invention ..................................... 6

LEE TOMLIN

Played some classy passes in his hour on the pitch. One assist and could have had more ......... 7

KYLE DEMPSEY

Set up a great chance for Godden at the start of the second-half. A struggle otherwise .............. 5

MATT GODDEN

Good industry, but missed his chance to claim a much-needed goal ............................................. 6

IVAN TONEY

Did well for his goal, but also missed a couple of sitters. His form has dipped ............................... 5

Reckless challenge led to the Charlton penalty and was suspect defensively throughout .......... 6

DANIEL LAFFERTY

Some classy moments in possession, some sloppy moments also, but he defended well .................. 7

RHYS BENNETT

Found ways to escape when he looked in trouble. One weak backheader aside he did okay ........... 7

LOUIS REED

Anchored the midfield soundly for the most part.

KYLE DEMPSEY
