9o mins 2-0 Forest

Posh just sitting back now, waiting for the whistle.

As Johnson tries a curler from 20 yards, just wide.

86 mins 2-0 Forest

Forest sub 84mins 2-0 Forest

Change of strikers. Lyle Taylor for Grabban.

84 mins 2-0 Forest

Fluke of a goal but it’s from a corner. Yates makes a run to the penalty spot, unchallenged and the ball just hits him, he doesn’t try and control it in any way and it goes past Cornell.

Huzzah. Forest have had a booking, it’s Samba for time wasting over a goalkick.

Ojeda replaced by Cafu. Not the Cafu but he could probably still do a job against Posh at his age.

Thompson booked for a push. Clear yellow but where’s the consistency? Plenty of Forest players committed more fouls and similar.
