LIVE: Carlisle vs Posh

Katongo and Sturge on

Burrows and De Havilland off

Posh starting to get on top again but need to actually start creating chances. Burrows sees a low cross cleared out as as Sturge and Katongo look set to come on.

Another big peanlty shout against Posh, Carlisle players convinced Kioso has controlled a long ball back to Bilokapic with his arm.

Nobody in control of this at the moment, home side will obviously be much happier.

EMC drives a shot into the midrift of Lavelle after a good forward from his own half from Collins.

Randall is playing in the ten now. EMC out on the left.

Posh pspring into life, Kioso slips De Havillanf in down the right, his cross is blocked out for a corner.

From that ball in, it’s headed out but Collins drives it back in, it almost falls for Kioso ion the middle but the ball is taken off his foot as he shaped to shoot.

Randall and Poku on for Jones and Ajiboye.

Big shout for a penalty after Gibson takes a tumble over the leg of Edwards, was always looking for it but the Posh man had to make an impotant block from a shot from the edge of the box seconds before as the home side start to push.

Now it’s Carlisle’s turn to come forward. Knight has to throw himself at the Gibson shot after both Jones and Burrows fail multiple times to clear a loose ball.

Two dangerous balls come into the box and Posh have to scramble it clear after missing the first header both times.

Keeper rather makes a mess of what should be a simple catch from an EMC 30-yard shot. Palms it over for a corner but punches away the corner with ease.

Slow start to the second half, Posh lacking tempo. EMC struggling to accept the ball with this back to goal, not much coming from Collins and De Havilland, far too slow.

EMC chips a ball over the JCH to run into the box and hit, angle against him though, easy save.

Jones into the side-netting, Posh work a good move with Collins finding Jones on the left edge of the box, he cuts in and shoots but his shot is deflected wide.

JCH loses the header for the corner, don’t think he’s won one ball tonight.

Posh tempo starting to drop.

Almost a shock goal. Out of nothing, McCalmont plays a brilliant dinked pass over the Posh defence and Maguire races onto it. Knight has to sprint back and make a diving block as he goes to shoot.

Carlisle starting to get a spell going, trying to play some football.
