We started well, but couldn’t match Peterborough’s quality and fell behind in the first ten minutes, a period in which they were dominant. We grew into the game and should have equalised with the penalty.
In the second half, we more than matched them, but just couldn’t muster the bit of quality we needed to breech their goal.
First loss in eleven, I think, and a blip in our promotion push. Back down to earth with a bit of bump. Our home form difficulties have plagued us no end.

Still, tomorrow’s a new day and “a good a chance to start again.”
Over to you.

Peterborough played like a team ready for the next level. We played like a team no better than top half of League One. Difference in quality was clear. Big changes needed in the summer.24

A disappointing if not unexpected result.
But if we win our Tuesday we can still make the playoffs.
I am confident we will win on Tuesday6 -
Can we just offer Crewe and Hull the opportunity to play our next 2 home games at their place?14

Well that was shite 😡1

Strongly disagree. We played quite well and basically matched a team who are going up.

Nigel good morning birds are singing....please make subs sooner to try and impact a game and play 2 up front at home FFS3

Top 6 was in our hands before this game now it is not5

Don't think we were awful but a deserved result.
Glad others are stumbling. Still got a chance.1 -
I’m not too disappointed, we played a good, organised top 2 team today. And were weren’t far off in the end.Thought we gave a good go of it. Only real criticism I have is we just weren’t good enough in the final third.On to Tuesday. Looking difficult if we don’t win that30

Peterborough were out of blocks very quickly but we fought our way back and then dominated for long periods. Some of our passing through the lines was very good but we were not incisive enough in the final third and poor decision making cost us. Both crosses and set piece deliveries today were well below par.
Overall we deserved a draw and maybe would have got it had Stockley buried the penalty. But credit to Peterborough too, they look a strong side and Szmodics could and should have scored from three excellent chances.
A setback - but not a fatal blow. We need six points from our next two games, and I’m confident we’ll get them.

Fine margins at the end of the day
Makes Tuesdays game against Crewe that little bit more important, hopefully they'll be on the beach like Plymouth were
We showed how good we are attacking but Peterborough had the defensive side to their game that we've lacked this season, if you want to finish top two boys and girls thats the sort of team you need to have - Ruthless in attack and a stubborn defence!!... Although ironically Peterborough seemed to lack that ruthless side to their game today with Szmodics thinking he should have had a hat-trick.
Dont think the late subs were as costly as they were made out to be...
Was a bit like Ipswich last week where the players on the pitch were still pushing for a goal, there were no tired legs out there so was going to be a case of changing things for the sake of it which is exactly what happened when Aneke, Washington and Famewo did come on.2 -
We rarely troubled their goalkeeper - final ball was dreadful all afternoon. Yes there was only a single goal in it but you always felt like Peterborough would be able to find another gear if they needed it.Leuth said:

Why not get our top two goalscorers on earlier?5

Stockley done the biz in the last minute, perfectly cushioned header back to their keeper - hate this lot tbh4

Still feels like a side that’s lacking attacking quality.
Adkins has no doubt improved us, but we are definitely missing a marquee player.
Peterborough have 3, and that’s why they’re going up. Fair play.

That game was screaming out for attacking subs that were left far too late. Top two goal scorers on the bench and unused until late on. That is a ridiculous call from Adkins.
The squad have no nouse, no brain, absolutely nothing between their ears. Stupid fouls, endless shit set pieces, just a constant stream of frustration.
I just want this season to finish. Whatever happens, it's been so unenjoyable.3 -
I mean, what 'big changes' are needed? Where were we lacking on the field? One of our tricky wingers got injured and we brought on the wrong option, but we have a squad up to it. What I ask are the big changes? Where were we lacking? All we lacked today was final ball5
-
Also don't understand putting a player out left who can't cross with his left foot !5

Adkins partly to blame in my opinion . Bringing Morgan on for DJ was a waste of time. Should have been chuks. Then making subs with 15 mins to go, Millar should have been subbed after an hour his decision making is so poor1
-
Thought a draw would've been a fair result tbh3
-
We've played a lot worse and won. Thought, overall, was a good performance against a very good Peterborough side. If only we'd scored that penalty...still seeing Lou Reed come on made it a perfect day.5
-
Browny spot on in his post match assessment. We played pretty well, but that little bit of quality in the final third alluded us. Millar in particular was very wasteful. Set piece delivery was a real frustration. We’ll get into the playoffs but today showed why we’re far from favourites to win them. Fortunately Peterborough are probably better than anything we’ll face in the playoffs.
I fancied us today to make a bit of a statement but in the end Peterborough made the statement.Adkins already starting to do my nut in with his subs. Totally inactive vs Ipswich and too late with the changes today. Waited until we’d started to lose that intensity instead of trying to capitalize when we were at our peak.4 -
Unfortunately, I think scoring 6-0 has our heads in our asses!Came into the game with the wrong mindset, fought hard but all fart and no shit.
disappointing, but get the impression Adkins had already earmarked this game as a loss anyway- win the rest and hopefully it’s enough!Shame about other results, but we go again Tuesday!0 -
Thought we played well but they more than matched us in the air which nullified our goal threat a bit.We knew this side aren’t top 2 material and were never gonna win all our remaining games. Puts a bit of pressure on Tuesday as I think we need 2 wins from somewhere but I’m confident we’ll do it.0
-
Let's be honest with ourselves here, yes we lost by only one goal and missed a penalty, but on another day Szmodics would have had an hat-trick.
Morgan is completely ineffective, the subs were way too late and for all the lauding of our set pieces, they were dogshit today.4 -
Don't think the gulf was too big really. JCH was better than Stockley on the day, and we were less incisive overall in attack. Think our pressing game is coming together, we need to work on being clinical. I'm sure the team and manager will be itching to put things right on Tuesday.3

Our crossing and set piece delivery was shocking today.13

No!! It is still in our hands if we win the game in hand.floydroadfaithfull said:Top 6 was in our hands before this game now it is not6
