'Signs Of Improvement'

Last updated : 14 February 2010 By Sam

 Barry Robson's seventh minute goal gave Boro a 1-0 win at The Riverside Stadium although Gannon thought that Posh's performance warranted them leaving Teeside with something from the game.

"We had large periods of good possession," he said after the 1-0 defeat.

"We played some good passing football and we created a few good opportunities but didn't take them.

"We got into some threatening positions but perhaps we could have worked their keeper more and maybe we lack a physical presence up front.

"We knew Middlesbrough would come at us early on and they did and they got the goal but we worked our way back into the game and created enough chances to have got something from it.

"I am a little bit disappointed but take satisfaction from the way we played.

"The good thing is that the team have shown signs of improvement."
