Key Events

  • 2-2 FT
  • Posh blow 2 goal lead to miss out on promotion
  • Ward and Szmodics put Posh 2-0 up in 20 minutes
  • Okenabirhie pulls one back for Donny before half-time.
  • Substitute Richards pulls Donny level as Posh produce poor second half
  • Posh now need a point against Lincoln to go up

That’s been coming. Lokilo up to more trickery on the right, twisted and turned Butler and puts the ball across the goal for the sub to tap-in.

Lincoln have won , so Posh need to win here to go up tonight.

56 mins HIT THE BAR AGAIN

Ward’s hit the bar again. Thompson loops a pass over the fullback to find Ward in the box, he shapes to shoot on the outside and fires a shot at goal, which cannons off the bar.

Poor start to the second half. Posh need to reassert themselves, a few poor balls into the box the only forwards forays to speak of.

First time cross from Ward cut out, in truth JCH wasn’t alive to it anyway.

Thompson loses the ball in his own half, Doncaster launch it away and slips it into Lokilo. He gets into the box again and fires across it to Richards, he shoots across the face of the goal and its inches wide.

Donny looking confident. Rash from Richards wastes a good opening but they’re finding more space in this half.

Posh have to scramble the ball out of their box after a Bogle knockdown and a low Smith for Okenabirhie.

Booking for Lokilo, he’s running into the edge of the box and Reed goes out to meet him and Lokilo throws himself to the ground. Clear yellow for diving. Reed reacts though and pushes him and Lokilo squares up to him. Yellow for Reed too.
