LIVE BLOG: Blackburn Rovers vs Posh

Key Events

  • 7:45pm kick-off
  • Posh looking to end run of four without a win
  • Joel Randall could return to the squad after injury
  • Ben Brereton-Diaz has 14 goals in 18 league matches
  • Blackburn sit 8th and have won three of their last five
  • Only 5 teams have conceded more than Rovers this season, Posh being one

Right then, Kent and Beevers taken off for Edwards and Burrows. Lookis like still the same formation though, interesting...

That joke of a decision from the referee proves costly as the resulting free-kick goes to the backpost and is headed back across goal and in by Lenihan.

Great tackle from Beevers on Dolan, wins the ball cleanly. Dolan ends up on the floor but the referee reacts to the crowd and the fact he stays down ad gives a booking. Incredible.

Where to Posh go from here? All the same mistakes, poor touches and slow build up play in evidence again. Szmodics is the one trying hard upfront but he’s got no support in players making the runs for him, pressing with him or finding him when he makes runs.

Appaling mistake from Thompson

Has the ball on the edge of the box, edges forward with it, sees Dolan coming, turns back and it just robbed, doesn’t put up much of fight and Roovers have the ball to themselves in the box. Cornell comes out and he unselfishly rolls in Diaz for a tap-in.
