LIVE: Cheltenham vs Posh

29 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

There’s a great chance that falls for Ajiboye central just inside the box. It’s a horrendous effort right over the stand. Impressive he can even get that so high.

Free-kick was swung in by Mills.

27 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Finally a move for Posh, Dornelly finds Ajiboye, spears a great cross into the box towards JCH, flying header from Davies gets it out for a corner.

Mills takes the corner, it’s into a good area but headed out.

26 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

There’s just a complete disconnect with the way Posh are trying to paly and these players.

They just can’t do it, Posh can’t get out, the midfielders are very deep, getting closed down and keep going back and the ball is breaking down.

23 mins 2-0 Cheltenham

Nuttall hits a effort over the bar from the edge of the box after some good feet from Taylor on the corner of the box.

Posh have been beaten by a big long ball up the field.

There’s 3 players around Taylor in the box, the ball bounces and still Taylor is in plenty of space and blasts past Bilokapic.

Taylor causing havoc in the box, gets up above Crichlow and heads just wide.

Dear me, Bilokapic almost puts into his own net as he gets closed down, tries to shift the ball his foot is on and ends up taking a heavy touch almost over his goalline.

15 mins 1-0 Cheltenham

It’s all Cheltenham, pressing high.

Posh can’t get out, can’t get anything going.

12 mins 1-0 Cheltenham

De Havilland loses the ball, played forward and Crichlow has a fresh air kick leaving it to fall to Taylor on the edge of the box. Taylor shoots at goal, spilled by Bilokapic right into the path of Nuttall and he slides it in.
