STEVE Evans bemoaned what he felt was Oxford United’s time wasting during the 2-1 victory over his Peterborough United side.

The Posh came into the game on the back of three straight wins which had taken them into the Sky Bet League One play-off places.

They trailed 2-0 after 61 minutes, but pulled a goal back through Jack Marriott.

United had to weather a spell of pressure before Peterborough skipper Jack Baldwin was sent off for a second bookable offence in stoppage-time.

Evans, who admitted he had got his selection wrong, felt the seven minutes added on did not reflect the home side’s approach.

He said: “We made two or three good chances to equalise.

“Maybe if we did that we’d go on to win the game because they would have been on the back foot.

“I think we’ve all experienced trying to waste time in football but this was a new one for me.

“I think he (the referee) could have added about 20 (minutes) and it would have been about right.

“But take nothing away, well done Oxford and we wish you well.”

The Posh boss was also critical of what looked like a 50/50 challenge between Cameron Brannagan and Chris Forrester which forced the latter out of the game with a gash in his thigh.

“We got robbed a little bit when there was an over the ball challenge on Chris Forrester that results in him getting stitches in the bottom of his thigh,” he said.

“There is (a stamp), but that’s for people to look at. I just go with what I watched on the clips.

“There’s certainly some afters, but we’re not here to make that a headline.”
