Hull lead Lincoln 1-0, and Sunderland are 2-0 up vs Accrington but that is academic if Posh keep doing their job. Need to keep the ball much better in that second half, didn’t end the half well.

Good ball in from Morgan, finds Stockley but he’d stolen an advantage by being in an offside position,

Poor ball in cleared by JCH gives away another one, this time on the right, chasing the rebound.

Booking Thompson, clips Millar as he tries to turn him on the left.

Both appear fine and trudge off to the sidelines.

Another clash of heads, this time Beevers Stockley.

Goes short to Kent, who plays in Thompson on the right but he can;t beat his man.

Thompson wins a Posh free-kick on halfway, rare chance to get a ball up recently.
