LIVE BLOG: Posh vs Derby

Key Events

  • 2-1 L
  • Marriott starts, Dembele on the bench
  • Szmodics absent due to the birth of his child
  • Posh still searching for first goal of the season
  • Derby under transfer embargo and have a number of youngsters filling out the squad
  • Derby drew 1-1 with Huddersfield on the opening day

In all that, that board has gone up for 11 minutes added on. Time to win this!

YES! Finally something good!

Out of nothing Ward picks up the ball on the right, stretches the Derby backline and sends a ball across the face of goal and Burrows score a tap-in.

Burrows fashions a crossing opportunity on the left, he is looking for the only man in the box, Clarke-Harris but he’s a mile offside. Why is there only one in the box in this situation?

No formation change. Butler is as CB and Burrows WB. Posh’s 2 in the midfield are getting overrun by Derby’s 5.

More chances come and go for Posh, if you can call it that. Ward plays a poor low cross into the box that is cleared by the first man and then Dembele shoots with his weak foot from around 40 yards, well over.

Jowwiak replaces Morrison and Burrows comes on for Beevers.

They tried something from the free-kick, played down the right to Byrne from Bird. He beats Butler to it but the cross is poor and its a goalkick.

Booking for Butler, takes down Sibley as he brings the ball forward. Clear yellow, comes after Norburn misplaces an over-ambitious pass to Dembele.

Corner Posh, beaten out by Roos. Ward is waiting on the edge of lash a shot at goal but it is blocked and Posh have a long throw opportunity. Come to nothing.
