64 mins CHANCE
Lewis-Potter scuffs over the bar after being found to Honeyman’s looped ball in. Looked a great chance.

This is dreadful, Posh can’t get out. They’re too slow with their passing and just giving it away if not pressed into a mistake. Balls over the top are causing all kinds of problems and Beevers is frequently being caught out. Taylor has to jockey Wilks in the box to stop him getting a shot away.
60 mins Posh sub
Knight is replaced by Ward. Thompson moves to the right of the back three. He was starting to get found out badly with pace.
59 mins
Corner Hull, Posh still haven’t got going. Cornell comes out and gets there but punches down instead of catching it. Wilks has so much time with his back to goal in the box but he doesn’t realise it and goes for an overhead kick, which he badly scuffs.
58 mins
Chance again for Hull. Magennis vs Edwards in the air is a mismatch , he heads it down in the box and out to Coyle. He turns Thompson and gets in a cross across the face. Magennis tries to stoop his head to get another tap-in but there is too much pace on the ball.
54 mins CHANCE
Hull should probably score there. Diagonal ball over the top of Edwards and he switches off to allow Magennis to run away from him. He digs out a cross from the right of the box and Lewis-Potter is more alive than Beevers and Cornell but contrives to poke over the bar.
53 mins
Beevers cuts out Honeyman’s cross into the box and Posh can break but as has been the frustration with Dembele this season, he doesn’t commit to the run and turns back, Grant had made a good run to his right aswell but the move comes to nothing. Frustrating.
52 mins
More misplaced passes from Posh, this time from Butler on the left. His first touch from a simple ball was found lacking too. Grant then gives the ball away in his own half and Hull come forward.
