This game is very much there for the taking, for either side. Posh need to sharpen up their passing and test a keeper making only his second Championship appearance more. Norburn came closest with a sweet strike but in general, he has been untroubled. Ward improved towards the end of the half and started swinging in some good first-time crosses.

Moore it was the was injured. He has realised he can’t shake it off and is replaced by young Holmes at CB.

Norburn nearly with an outstanding goal. JCH heads down the free kick, taken from halfway, Norburn is there about 25 yards out, he allows it to bounce and then smashes it towards goal, Southwood has to get to full-stretch to tip it over.

Great work from Norbrun stepping out twice as Reading look to assert some pressure. Him and Coventry have done well in the centre. Break in play as Moore is down, he appeared to injure himself fouling Marriott on halfway. He almost fell onto the Posh striker and I think his foot may have got caught in the turf.

JCH isn’t happy with his teammate’s lack of movement. Pym takes a goalkick. JCH is standing out on the right and arrows his run into the center to win the header and make it into a ball through to Marriott but he isn’t alive to the tactic. He lets him know what he thinks.
