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.

But if we win our Tuesday we can still make the playoffs.
I am confident we will win on Tuesday
Glad others are stumbling. Still got a chance.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I fancied us today to make a bit of a statement but in the end Peterborough made the statement.
disappointing, but get the impression Adkins had already earmarked this game as a loss anyway- win the rest and hopefully it’s enough!
Morgan is completely ineffective, the subs were way too late and for all the lauding of our set pieces, they were dogshit today.
