LIVE: Carlisle vs Posh

Garner tries to catch Bilokapic of guard with a 45 yard strike for goal, nowhere near goal. Well over.

Posh still controlling the ball but not looking as sharp as the opening stages, EMC drifting out of the game.

De Havilland fires a shot over the bar from 30 yards but the real chance was for Ajiboye.

Ricky sent in a corss, he had the space to chest down and hit but he was just crowded out just inside the middle to the box as he went for the shot.

Holy called into action at his near post from the corner as EMC drills a low shot but he’s equal to it.

A bit of pressure ended by a good Posh break. Edwards make a great interception on the edge of his box, clever feet from Ajiboye and then a pass sets EMC off running into the final third, plays it to JCH on his right, cuts inside looking for the far corner, pushed away by Holy.

Rare Carlisle shot, a complete shank from Mellish 30 yards out after Moxon put the ball towards the edge of the Posh box from a free-kick.

Posh are repeatedly sending in the low crosses tonight, it’s a little surprising there’s not more movement to get onto them.

Ajiboye puts in another good one for it only to be cleared.

Carlisle just settling down a bit but Posh have forced them very deep.

Posh think they’ve got a good chance until the flag goes up.

Kioso sent a first time ball into the box, headed down by EMC to Ricky, Holy throws himself at the ball from close-range, probably shouldn’t have been allowed the chance to save it but did.

Posh win a corner from Ajiboye’s deep cross, the overlap between him and Kioso is Posh’s most promition outlet.

Burrows sees his corner headed away easily though.

Carlisle do look to possess pace and movement on the break, final ball letting them down so far but they’re on the back foot.

Looks like EMC is playing more like a striker next to JCH than as a ten

The wingers switch and this time it’s Ajiboye digging out a cross from the left to Jones. Ref gives a foul as he tries to head the ball, Posh are all over them, so much room.

Posh keep coming, Kioso bursts down the wing this time, sends a ball toJCH, which he controls but his shot is deflected wide.

The corner is cleared well.

That should been 1-0

Ricky has doen to well down the right, burts past his full-back and cuts a bal back across the box, EMC lets it run and JCH has a free shot just i in front on the six-yard box and produces a wild effort over the bar.

Holy punches the ball out before Collins sees a follow up shot from range blocked.

Ajiboye wins Posh a corner straigth from kick-off after Kioso’s pass.

Carlisle - 27/10

Draw - 13/5

Peterborough - 4/5
