"We didn't play that badly. And it was a hard surface. But we just didn't do enough in possession of the ball to seriously hurt the opposition.
"We did have some good situations against Peterborough but didn't really capitalise. Our final shots or crosses were just not good enough and we should have done better in certain situations.
