Posh captain 'doesn't want to feel like this again' after derby day despair

Peterborough United skipper Ephron Mason-Clark is determined not to experience the same feeling again after losing Saturday’s Nene Derby to local rivals Northampton.
Mitch Pinnock scored the game’s only goal at Sixfields with an extraordinary long-range volley in the final minute of normal time as Posh – and Mason-Clark in particular – were made to pay for some wasteful finishing earlier in the contest.

“In some parts we played well but if you don’t take your chances, you don’t win games,” Mason-Clark told the Peterborough Telegraph. "I’m disappointed, but there are things we can look at and make sure we improve for the games coming up.
"We’ve been good in every game we’ve played, but we didn’t have our usual cutting edge today. I got a bit desperate in front of goal which didn’t help the team’s momentum. We played well up until the final third. I should have taken my chances.
“I’ve got to take a positive from that in terms of not wanting to feel like that again for the rest of the season. I’m disappointed for not just us but the fans as well.
"We need to learn and make sure that, come next week, we are ready for the game against Derby.”
