They have now fallen to nine points off the play-off places with 11 games to go. With hopes fading, it’s now or never time for Posh to go on a winning run.

Hamer tries his luck from 30 yards, Norris watches it wide.

He’s been trying to run it off and play now resumes.

Edwards takes an awkward fall, stays down.

Wild shot from Walker well over the bar as Taylor chests the ball down as 2 Posh players just watch.

Burrows replaced by Ben Thompson.

Foul Poku, has about 3 hacks at Helm. Good crossing position on the left.

Kent has to head the ball in away.
