I expected a comfortable Peterbrough win,so it feels weird to be disappointed with a point from the game.I thought we started well for ten minutes,then Peterborough scored and we looked second best for the rest of the half.We started the second half well,and equalised in the 51st minute.We won a free kick,Martin stepped up and put it past their keeper.It was like his Free-kick at Crewe earlier in the season.He should be our permanent free-kick taker now.We battled well and took the lead in the 71st minute,Weston who played well when he came on set up Cody who leaped well to head past Olejnik.We looked a threat on the counter with Weston`s pace,but credit to Peterbrough who looked a class side.They pass the ball really well,they press when they don't have the ball,and they never give up.They will be right near the top two come May.
The ref picked up an injury,and had to go off and be replaced by the fourth official,so that took a lot of time.There ended up being 8 minutes of added time,but I didn`t think it took that long even with the injury and the subs.Cody was put put through on goal in stoppage time with just Olejnik to beat,but he hit it low instead of high,so their keeper managed to save it.Usually you would back Cody to score that kind of chance.With Peterbrough`s pressure you knew they would equalise,as we could not keep hold of it and Assombalonga equalised with just about the last kick of the game.It hurt as we gave a very good second half performance,but I think we all would have taken a point before the game.
MOTM- I would give it to Jake Hessenthaler who played like a younger version of his Dad.He battled well and was creative aswell.Gregory came on for Hollands and did well,and we have missed him.Harriman had a good game,and Weston looked a big threat when he came on.
