ADVER Sport assess the performances of the Swindon Town players following their 3-1 defeat to Peterborough United in League One.

Matej Kovar: 5

He made quite a few good saves, but his reluctance to catch anything and another frustrating error for Peterborough’s third goal means a low score.

Paul Caddis: 6

Caddis was perhaps unlucky not to have won a penalty for Town, but otherwise quite a quiet and solid game for the Scot. Booked.

Zeki Fryers: 6

Looked tidy and confident before suffering a groin injury and had to be replaced. Subbed.

Mathieu Baudry: 3

This was one of the Frenchman’s worst games in a Town shirt – three avoidable errors were punished by Posh and Baudry felt the wrath of his manager post-match. Booked.

Rob Hunt: 5

Hunt started off strongly, but once Peterborough grew into the match, the full-back was bullied out of it.

Anthony Grant: 6

An unusually quiet day for Grant as Posh simply played their way around him for the most part.

Matt Smith: 6

Smith was unable to get on the ball much, and when he did he often took too many touches. He will have more impressive games.

Jordan Stevens: 7

The Leeds winger was very impressive and set up Payne’s goal, but a brilliant first half faded around the hour mark as he tired. Subbed.

Jack Payne: 7

Payne took his goal extremely well after a well-timed run, but once he was moved out to the left following Jaiyesimi’s introduction, Payne seemed much less effective.

Jonny Smith: 6

Smith showed good pace on a few occasions, but he didn’t looked particularly confident and could have shot instead of playing in Pitman a couple of times. Subbed.

Brett Pitman: 5

Pitman failed to make the most of the few chances he was given and never looked like building on last week’s goal at home.

SUBSTITUTES 

Jonathan Grounds: 7

Once Grounds is fit, he could be a staple in Town’s defence due to his impressive leadership skills and technical skill on the ball – attributes he showed in abundance on Saturday. Booked.

Diallang Jaiyesimi: 6

Jaiyesimi didn’t seem fully fit after his knee issue, though he did cause a few problems after his introduction.

Tyler Smith: 6

Showed good energy and put himself about once he came on, but was never presented with a goalscoring chance, unfortunately.
