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.

Clarke-Harris and Ward on for Coulson and Marriott.

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.

51 mins 2-0 Cardiff

Morton tripped on the edge of the area. Booking for Ng.

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.

This is hard to watch. Corner again. Benda seems to do well with the first ball in but Flint is left alone just inside the box. Chest down, smashes along the floor, goes through a whole crowd of bodies and in.
