LIVE: PETERBOROUGH UNITED v PLYMOUTH ARGYLE: Posh bow out of the Carabao Cup in humbling fashion against lower level opposition
Posh have fallen at the first hurdle in each of the last four seasons and two of them were at home to lower division opposition, including last year when Cheltenham won 1-0 at the Weston Homes Stadium.
New signing Joel Randall is expected to start the game after a promising debut as a substitute in Saturday’s 3-0 Championship defeat at Luton Town.

Torrid night got Edwards, Hardie turns him again and looks to shoot but Tomlinson gets back on the recovery run to take it off his foot, corner.

Incredible decision. The ball is headed out from the free kick but it’s a great ball back in by Randall to pick out Kent arriving at the far post but he is blocked off and brought to the ground, looks a clear penalty but Ben Toner decides Kent has made a foul and gives it the other way.

That’s better, ward picks the ball up and just runs. Galloway can’t handle it and dives into a rash challenge. Yellow card. Free kick on the right.

Long ball up to Burrows and it looks to get his head on in and bring the ball down but Scarr climbs all over him and he ends up in a heap. Looked a clear foul, ref doesn’t agree. The game is getting niggly now.

Ward on for Poku. Not much to write home about that debut. Worth noting, although this is a step-down in a league for Posh, Poku has never plated above League Two so this is infact a step-up for him tonight.
Barker for Hamilton.
56 mins CHANCE
Plymouth pick up the ball after a loose pass from Hamilton and spring the counter. Camara brings the ball half the length of pitch and feeds Jehpcott on the edge of the box. He shoots to Cornell’s right and he makes a good save.

More bright play on the left but the ball comes in from Tomlinson and Cooper comes straight off his line to claim. Plymouth are sitting in and looking good for their lead.

No changes at half time for either. Posh much ore on the front foot though. Randall is looking lively on the left and puts in another cross which the keeper has to deal with, the problem is who is going to get on the end of one?
