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

  • Blackburn sit 8th and have won three of their last five

Best chance of the match so far for Posh. Dembele slips Ward in on the right, he cuts inside, draws the wide centre half to free up Szmodics in the box but it’s a great block from Johnson from the shot.

Posh are seriously struggling down the left. It may be his 100th appearance but Butler is struggling with Nyambe and the players the hosts are regularly overloading with. Balls raining into the box.

Corner Blackburn now. The wings proving fruitful for both sides and for some reason, JCH finds himself out there trying to stop the cross coming in from Nyambe. Thompson heads over his own bar and Cornell is commanding from the ball in but Blackburn starting to control this now. Posh gifting them possession.

Early sub as Ayala limps off to be replaced by Bradley Johnson at the middle of the back three. He returned from injury on Saturday and looks like he’s pushed himself too far.

Straight to the goalkeeper. Good height and position for him.

Posh corner, Wharton scuffs Ward’s low cross away.

Posh have been getting joy on the wings but there has been noone to hit in the box. No one willing to bust a gut to get in there.

Posh try to respond, Dembele is dragged down by Travis 25 yards from goal on the left. JCH blazes well over.

Just before that Dembele had gone on a great run past two defenders, played it to JCH and set off behind the defence expecting to receive it again but JCH shanks it right to the defender and the hosts are able to counter.

Blackburn lead and it’s a Buckley cross into the box. Kent is stationery around the penalty spot and seems unaware that Pickering is arriving and is made to look silly as the header loops over Cornell and into the net.
