Peterborough United boss Grant McCann said that his side were poor and deserved to lose after going down 1-0 to Coventry City at the Ricoh Arena.
McCann told the Press Association: : "We've dropped four points to Coventry this season and with those four points we would be putting pressure on the play-off places.
"We were poor and deserved to get beaten. I won't talk about the penalty as they are often missed. I was more concerned with the way we played.
"We were lacklustre and we looked like the team who had played two big games in four days rather than Coventry.
"I can't put my finger on why, but the league position sums us up. We have won 16 and lost 16. We have never won more than three in a row and we haven't been on a bad losing run like recent seasons."
