Posh free-kick on the right of the box, floated in by Ward to Thompson at the back post. He gets his head there but can;t generate the pace back across goal and its blocked out for a corner.
Posh survive a spell of Gillingham pressure and try to hit back but Posh again fail to spot the run of Dembele on 2 occasions and the ball is cleared.
Poor quality in the final third is costing Posh, too often the pass is overhit or just not good enough, you need something special to get in behind this organised unit.
Lee who was playing in the hole behind Akinde is replaced by Samuel. Another big forward, looks to be two up top, probably a response to Beevers being taken off.
78 mins Posh sub
Burrows on for Beevers. Sensible move given how much Gillingham are now sitting off. Butler slots in where Beevers has come from. Should have some better balls coming into the box now.
Posh corner swung in by Butler, Szmodics on the rebound again shoots, blocked out for another corner. The second one in was good again but Taylor can’t get over the ball and heads over.
