Posh must be ruthless - Ferguson

Posh lost just three league matches at London Road last season

Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson has called on his side to be more clinical following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

Craig Mackail-Smith claimed Posh a point with a second half strike.

Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "We need to be more ruthless and more clinical as you might only get two or three chances at this level.

"And if you give away two or three chances the opposition will take them, so we need to up the ante."

James O'Conner gave Wednesday the first-half lead, but Ferguson felt his side deserved the three points.

"It was a bad result for us. Given how the game went it was two points dropped," he said.

"We went missing for their goal and their lad scored a good header, but in both boxes we need to be more ruthless."

Craig Morgan returned to the starting line-up in place of Krystian Pearce with Paul Coutts coming into the side in place of Lee Frecklington.

Ferguson was once again pleased with how his side performed, but wants to see them up their game against West Brom on Tuesday.

"Results are the most important thing - I believe if you get the right performance, you get the right result."
