    Posh boss Grant McCann called the postponement "frustrating".

    "After looking at the pitch, it didn't seem too bad. If it was given another hour it would've been playable," he said.

    "I think the referee was adamant that he was going to call it off so nothing we could do".

    There has been no announcement as to when the fixture will be rearranged.
