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

Corner again. Dembele wins it wins his direct running, too much pace for Ajayi. Changed the game for Posh since he came on. Given Posh an out ball.

West Brom try to bring it forward quickly, Thompson collects a yellows for a lunge on Livermore.

Corner claimed by Johnstone with ease.

Ward picked out on the right, drives past O’Shea goes to the far post but Townsend, as cool as you like, knocks it out of play for a corner, for a moment you wondered if he’d just scored an own goal but looked in control.

In it goes, JCH heads out again. Szmodics wants to run onto the clearance but Mowatt brings him down. Yellow card.

Great pass Livermore, Furlong free in the box from the right, Butler blocks the cross. Long throw.

More and more balls coming into the box now, how we perhaps expected the whole game to go, Posh holding up so far though and Pym was there to save when needed.

JCH again at the back, really filling the Ivan Toney role. Long throw from Furlong headed out by the forward.

Posh coming into the game a bit more as West Brom commit more bodies forward, there is space now to be exploited but that is if they can survive the onslaught when they do have the ball. Mowatt wildly blasts over from 30 yards.

Posh don’t exactly have the long throw talent of others in this league Ward tries but its loopy and short and easily headed away.
