The intensity of Birmingham’s press has dropped considerably, Posh finding it easier in possession but are trying a few too many things for my liking and giving it away needlessly.

Just before that, Birmingham just kept dropping off JCH and he took the invitation to drive into the penalty area, just as he tried to pull the trigger Sanderson gets a foot in to clear. Posh have kept on coming to their credit.
Posh subs 81 mins
Dembele off for Burrows
Grant off for Szmodics.
Absolutely deserved standing ovations for the both.
79 mins
Grant looks like he’s tiring. Might be a good time to get the energy of Szmodics on for the last ten. Lazy pass to Ward, which he already delayed when he wrongly thought Ward was offside.

The minutes continue to tick on. Still finding it hard to relax but Posh have played some excellent stuff to get out of defence. Edwards, Norburn, Coventry and Kent all involved
71 mins
Free-kick from Woods put in, headed out but Pedersen is there on the rebound and swings a dangerous ball right into the danger area, Aneke peels off Kent and it is hard for him because of a big bounce but all he can do it hit the ball into the turf and it bounces over the bar, good chance.

Pish don;t need to get silly here. Kent makes a poor sliding challenge on Aneke and gets a yellow card.
