Stevenage manager Alex Revell was left to bemoan his side’s inability to look after the ball after a mistake allowed Peterborough to claim a point in a 1-1 draw.
Having taken the lead after 55 minutes through Dan Kemp, a curling effort from the edge of the box that found the corner to the left of keeper Jed Steer, Jordan Roberts gave away a sloppy pass inside the Boro half.
Two passes later it found substitute Cian Hayes in the box and after standing up Lewis Freestone, he slammed the ball high over the shoulder of keeper Murphy Cooper and inside the near post.
The Boro boss had been critical of the same thing in midweek as they lost to Crawley and his mood had not improved with the error here.
“It’s a game we should have won,” he said.
“We score a good goal, had more control in the second half. First half was a bit [back and forth] but we had good opportunities and restricted them to one shot that Murphy Cooper gathered.
“But after scoring, we give away a really, really sloppy pass and you get punished.
“I’ve said many times now that if you keep turning the ball over and you keep giving opponents opportunities to get shots on your goal, you’ll get punished and we did.
“We can’t keep turning the ball over, it’s not acceptable and we need to deal with that because in terms of effort and energy and work-rate, the lads did extremely well.
“It’s frustrating because again, we should win.
“We had another one-on-one that we don’t take [again] and we need to take those.
“A couple of times we get down the side and the ball goes across the goal and out of play.
“So our play in the final third need some work but it’s frustrating because we should win it.”
For Posh it was another game on the road that they had failed to win, 13 without success now and 10 losses in there too.
But boss Darren Ferguson felt they could have ended that unwanted sequence with a bit more composure.
He said: “First half we got an element of control but at half-time I felt we weren’t going to win the game doing that.
“We had control but we didn’t have enough tempo or urgency or enough quality in the final third when we broke through.
“We have to win games at the moment.
“We had moments but we just lacked quality, we rushed things. I was in the stand and just telling the bench to calm them down. On 70 minutes we were frantic.
“But there’s no way I’ll question the endeavour of the players and their determination. They just need that little bit more quality in the final third.”
