Chances starting to come now. Grimes slides a clever pass towards the penalty spot, Obafemi gets there and Cornell has to race off his line to make the block. He’s done very well there.

Posh go to sleep out wide. Paterson lips in behind Thompson unnoticed, his driven cross is cleared but only as far as Manning, he rather shanks a ball back in but the poor connection drags it across the box and gives Laird a chance for a tapi-in at the far post, but he just can’t grow his leg enough to get there on the slide.

JCH has actually been quite impressive since he’s come on. Some good first touches and he actually does look a bit leaner if you ask me.

More space for Swansea, this time it’s Grimes that is invited to shoot on the edge of the box, he drags his effort well wide.

Save from Cornell. Low down to his right. Obafemi had drifted into a pocket between Taylor and Beevers, one pushed up, one dropped and he fired away a snapshot.
