62 mins 2-0 Huddersfield
Edwards has fallen awkwardly after playing a pass. Looks like his ankle. Physio is on.
59 mins 2-0 Huddersfield
Finally after what seemed like forever of Posh slowly passing harmlessly and wasting chances to put the ball into the box, Szmodics cuts in from the left and fires a shot at goal. Nicholls is scrambling backwards but its just over.

Probably should be 3 again. A gaping whole between the Posh centre backs exploited first by Sinani, who takes a long ball down on his chest brilliantly, he then flciks it round the corner for Ward. He’s just inside the box and should probably do better than poking it into Cornell’s midriff.
54 mins 2-0 Huddersfield
Huddersfield should be three up. Coulson floats a ball in from the left. On the right of the box, Coulson and Beevers leave Thomas all alone. He volleys it first time well wide. Should have scored but even had time to touch it down and score.

Marriott has made a couple of good runs this half but as well as the skill to play a pass, you worry Posh also lack the skill to spot one. He’s just been ignored. The latest occasion sees Coulson cut in and blast well over the bar.
52 mins 2-0 Huddersfield
First time Huddersfield have been worried this half. Speculative Marriott shot deflected and has Nicholls diving to his left. Resulting corner goes out of play before coming into the box though.
50 mins 2-0 Huddersfield
Very strange corner, played out right out to the edge of the box, where Szmodics is.
