Anything that isn’t a Posh win will see them relegated to League One for next season, even if they draw and Reading lose, it will not be official but it will be as good as given Posh’s poor goal difference.

It may still happen anyway if Reading win but Posh must do all they can first and hope for the best.

JCH closes down a Figueiredo hoof. He gets beyond the defender and waits for the ball to come down and it just doesn’t fall for him. Szmodics picks up the clearance and shoots but Samba gets down low at his near post.

Another decent opeing after a strong couple of minutes for Forest. Too much on the cross though.

Yates up agove everyone but alost jumps too high, and his effort goes over, was unmarked.

61 mins 1-0 Forest Forest sub

Joe Lolley on for Zinckernagel.

Brilliant block Edwards after Zinckernagel put Johnson is just inside the box. Forest now have a corner.

Poku win the ball and slides a nce pass to Marriott, he’s got 2 defenders for company. He manages to find a shot but there isn’t the power to trouble Samba.

There just isn’t any space arond the edge of the box, Posh are trying to thread the eye of the needle.

Weak Burrows shot from a Figuieredo header clear, pointless and a waste of a good opening. Posh still seeing the most of the ball.

Hull are 2-0 up but as we know, academic with this scoreline.

Posh trying everything to get in while playing it around the box. Poku, Fuchs and Taylor all try and find the killer pass. Foret then break and Zinckernagel puts it wide, under plenty of pressure though.
