Didn’t have a save to make in the first half, helpless on the goals really.
Did well to put Harry Leonard under pressure and cause him to put his header off target in Peterborough’s only real chance of the first half in the opening minutes. Needed a bit of medical attention after taking a blow to the face midway through the first half was was passed fit to continue. Read the game consistently well and was usually in the right place to stop a Peterborough pass into his channel.
Felt he should have had a penalty for a shirt pull on an early Town corner. Was beaten by Leonard to win a flick-on and hit the post in the move from which Peterborough cut Town’s advantage down to 2-1 and was taken off shortly after.
Gave the ball away twice in the space of about five seconds late in the first half, but Town got away with it. His usual reliable self otherwise. Did his best to stop Kyryell Lisbie as Peterborough pulled their goal back and won a block before Lisbie finished off the loose ball. Made another vital block shortly thereafter as Peterborough pushed for an equaliser.

Skimmed the side-netting with a side-footed volley in the first 15 minutes in a bit of a previous of his goal on 27 minutes — keeper should really have kept it out but it was well struck nonetheless. Taken off in the second half.
Massive effort to keep breaking up Peterborough’s play, particularly around the halfway line when he received the trigger to press from Town’s mid block. Worked that to brilliant effect as a well-won tackle ran through for Dion Charles to set up Sorensen’s goal. Could count himself a quite fortunate he only got a yellow and not a red for a very high boot on Leonard soon after the break — his only saving grace may have been that the Peterborough man had his foot slightly raised too.
Excellent on the recovery whenever Peterborough were able to work it into the final third. Made a number of important challenges around the corner of the Town box.
Had a quietly efficient game but came into his own as Peterborough sparked into left last one with some important challenges around the edge of the Town box.
Gave poor George Nevett absolute nightmares with his closing down and work with the ball, winning possession and getting the better of the young centre-back multiple times. Great delivery on the corner for Balker’s goal. Should have done better to cut out the initial delivery that was flicked on for Peterborough’s equaliser, but made up for it quickly by setting up Cameron Humphreys’ late winner.
A surprise selection for the other number 10 role alongside Harness, presumably for what he could offer in the press — which proved to be a shrewd tactical move as that’s exactly what he brought.
Exactly what you’d expect from him in a game where the opposition had the majority of the ball: scrappy, hard-working, unselfish. Claimed an assist for Sorensen’s strike.
Lynden Gooch (for Sorensen 63) – Was caught out of position virtually immediately on the way to Peterborough’s goal and continued to look out of sorts afterwards. 4
Josh Feeney (for Low 67) – Once again called into action from the bench. 7
Cameron Humphreys (for Charles 77) – Great finish for the late winner. 8
Mickel Miller (for Kasumu 77) – New energy in attack. 6
