Key Events

  • 3-2 Bristol City FT
  • Taylor, Grant and Clarke-Harris are replaced by Szmodics, Ward and Coventry
  • Clarke-Harris drops out of the squad
  • 2-2 at the break after 3 goals in 8 minutes
  • Two goals for Szmodics against his old club

Butler caught too far up field, Burrows loses the ball and Williams breaks, his cross in is poor though and goes straight out of play. Feels as if there is space for either side to score a goal but Bristol City are so much better at packing the box.

Posh starting to be let down by poos balls in the final third. Burrows messing up a simple ball to Ward out on the right, before Szmodics can’t ley-off to Taylor. Very end-to-end and a few layers have started to slip over now.

Bristol City sub 62 mins

O’Dowda off for Alex Scott. Thompson will be relieved.

Martin should score and it’s another ball in from a free-kick that has caused the problem. Diving header from Martin that Cornell somehow manages to contort his body and dive in top of.

Posh are all over them at the minute. A Dembele beats everyone and Thompson finds himself in space on the right of the box. Unfortunately, he gets caught in too minds and sprays a ball right out of play for a goalkick can’t be called a shot or a pass.

Great effort Ollie Norburn, with a bit od willing on from the crowd and the defence sitting off, Norburn unleashes from 40 yards, only just wide.

This is close to biblical rain, absolutely chucking it down.

Posh just getting a foothold in this second half after some early jitters, Edwards getting caught in possession again but not being made to pay because of a poor pass.

Great delivery from another O’Dowda corner, they look such a threat at set-pieces. Knight on to counter could be an option later in the game.

Good save from Cornell. Free-kick for a Norburn handball, whipped into the edge of the box, diving header from Williams tipped away by Cornell diving to his right.
