Posh throw in the Fulham half. Ward passes back to Kent, Kent goes across to Beevers, Beevers passes out of play looking for Butler. Need to be much better than that. First time in the Fulham half.
Corner played short to the corner of the box, bypasses Szmodics while he is too busy trying to direct others. Kebano manages to swing at the ball with such force he knocks himself over though.
Reed catches out Ward out as he tries to step up, free on the left edge of the box tries to get a cross in but Cornell makes a block. Corner.
Posh have barely touched the ball. Sitting so deep and Fulham are passing the ball infront of them, no press to speak of yet.

Wing backs?
I’d suggest that Posh have gone with a three with Butler, Kent and Beevers. Ronnie Edwards drops to the bench and Burrows and Ward are likely to operate as wing backs. Posh looked strong after switching to a four against Huddersfield but that would require Ward to play at right back in this linee-up, which would be quite a risk. Thompson is suspended after 5 yellow cards.
