62 mins 3-0 Cardiff
Ward goes to RB, Mumba back to the left. JCH just replaces Marriott up top. Cardiff were looking content to settle but Posh haven’t been able to keep the ball and as is probably now the game plan, they were picked off.
58 mins 3-0 Cardiff
Posh wide open again, Doyle cuts inside and flashes an effort just wide of the post.
57 mins 3-0 Cardiff
All from a good position for Posh. Coulson robbed on the edge of the Cardiff box, Drameh picks up in his own half, breezes past Edwards like he isn’t there on halfway and sprints down the right hand side, Brown tries in vain to get there. The ball then goes across to Hugill, who escapes Kent and it’s 3-0. Pathetic.
55 mins 2-0 Cardiff
Not well is the answer. Ralls puts it right on the head of McGunnniess and it’s a good reaction save from Benda as h’s only a couple of wards out. There’s then a foul off the ball and Posh escape.
54 mins 2-0 Cardiff
Cardiff win a corner, Flint pushing up on the left. Let’s see how this is dealt with.
52 mins 2-0 Cardiff
Are you serious? Norburn just shells it into the wall along the ground, doesn’t even look like he got that good of a connection on the stationery ball.
49 mins 2-0 Cardiff
Early possession for Cardiff, who seem to have could out for this second half quite positive and willing to press.
47 mins 2-0 Cardiff
So it’s Coulson LB, Mumba RB Brown seems to be the deepest in a three with Fuchs and Norburn.
Posh have already been out on the pitch a few minutes. Fergie presumably disgusted. Brown is replacing Knight. Tyler giving tactics out on the pitch.
45 mins 2-0 Cardiff
Posh just passing infront of Cardiff in a non-threatening way. They’re resilient and well prepared. No one willing to shoot.
43 mins 2-0 Cardiff
They’re just wandering through now. Edwards has to step across to stop Davies having a tap-in. Doyle yellow card for a foul as Posh try to clear.
42 mins 2-0 Cardiff
Mumba offering no resistance to Drameh on the left either. Send in another cross, just over the head of Davies. Kent probably did enough to put him off.
