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

Taylor straight into the game, tries to breeze past Edwards, hauled down. Another very fair yellow.

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.

Posh sub 78 mins 1-0 Forest

Szmodics on for Norburn. Attacking change.

Thompson wins the header but it’s well over.

76 mins 1-0 Forest

Zinckernagel with about his 5th cynical foul. No yellow but Posh free-kick on the right, level with the box. Thompson pushed over.

74 mins 1-0 Forest

That whole move started with Knight upfield, he drives into the box before taking a tumble, it’s a clear dive . He doesn’t make the effort to sprint back until the ball gets to the Posh penalty area. The ball is played across to Grabban and Garner, who both have space sue to Knight’s absence. It’s behind Grabban and Garner pokes in.

Been a long time since Posh have seen the ball now.

Forest finding too much time on the ball now. They’re hurting Posh now. Great run from Johnson on the right, it’s a 3 on 1 almost, Grabban peels off Knight expecting a tap-in but the cut back needs more power and Knight slides in.

Posh sub 69 mins 0-0

Coventry for Burrows.
