It’s fair to say ‘exceeded all expectations’ and and ‘on course for a great career’ would be applicable for many individuals.
Here are the PT gradings for the season so far.
1. ROMONEY CRICHLOW: C
After a promising start in Posh colours the central defender started to make mistakes and lost his place to Josh Knight. He’s left-footed which offers good balance and he's ok with the ball at his fee. He'd been solid when called up on as a late substitute, but it’s doubtful he’s shown enough to convince anyone important he could replace Edwards should the boy wonder depart. Photo: David Lowndes
2. RYAN DE HAVILLAND: C
A summer signing from Barnet has very few chances to shine (9 starts), but Posh fancy he could yet make an impact as a ‘number 10’. Looks decent in possession and has plenty of energy, but no sign yet of his apparent dead ball expertise. Photo: Joe Dent
3. JADEL KATONGO: C
The Manchester City loanee hasn’t played as often as he probably expected making just eight starts, but he’s shown flashes of class. He’s been employed in three different positions – centre-back, right-back and central midfield – and performed solidly. He could get a run of games at right-back now that Peter Kioso has gone.

4. JONSON CLARKE-HARRIS: C+
He’s surplus to requirements at London Road now and has barely played since the middle of October, but he’s still managed 10 goals this season. A great attitude on and off the pitch. Photo: DAVID LOWNDES
