Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony has hinted that the club will be delving into the loan market in a bid to address their recent dip in form.

A 3-1 defeat to League One leaders Leyton Orient on Saturday was the third game in a row that Posh have failed to win, after previously going nine matches unbeaten.

MacAnthony revealed on Twitter that he has spoken with manager Darren Ferguson about how improvements could be made, and they concluded that exploring potential loan signings is a possibility.

He tweeted: "Great chat with the gaffer. We both know what needs addressing to bring pace, aggressiveness and goals back into our games - and how to get back to winning matches."

Quizzed by one supporter on whether that means another look at the loan market, MacAnthony added: "It would be rude not to."

Peterborough are currently third in the League One table, six points behind Orient.
