LIVE BLOG: Posh vs West Brom

Key Events

  • 0-1FT
  • Jack Taylor improving but unlikely to be risked
  • All of Posh’s points and goals have come at home
  • Minute’s applause to be held in honour of Robbie Cooke and Peter McNamee
  • West Brom are the league’s leading scorers
  • Top scorer Callun Robinson out but Jordan Hugill could debut

Real chance for West Brom, Hugill arrives at the far post, gets up above Kent but plants the header from Furling’s cross over the bar, a good chance.

Booking for Furlong for time wasting I think. It’s the third time he’s gone over to take a long throw and gone over to the West Brom end to be given a towel by the fans. Seems as if that shouldn't be allowed, not clear on the rules but seems off. Ref has just had a word, presume it’s to tell him not to again.

It’s a defensive one as Knight replaces Grant.

Great run from Szmodics, all the way down the right, they just allowed him to run and run, JCH is his only option in the box, he makes a b-line for the penalty spot but Szmodics cuts it back to where JCH has just come from.

So deep from Burrows, Kent goes for it but ends up on the floor, didnt look a foul. Posh need to make more of these set pieces but then again, that isn’t anything new.

Corner again, JCh flick-on, Ward has the beating of Reach, foot in gets Posh a corner.

This game has really opened up and Posh have definitely had their moments, just that little touch of quality needed. The backline doesn’t looked blessed with pace, if Dembele can get a chance to run in behind...

Short to Taylor from Grant. Taylor then puts it right into the keeper’s hands. Poor.

Free-kick now. Townsend through the back of JCH, good spell for Posh. Around 40 yards out, middle of the goal.

Headed out but rifled in by Ward and it smashes into an unwitting Szmodics who is a long way offside.
