43 mins 1-0 Posh
Burrows fires in another low ball and panic ensues. Marriott and JCH both throw themselves at it but Etheridge gets enough on it. Two great moves in succession.
42 mins 1-0 Posh
Great save down low from Etheridge. He was given a chance to shoot first time from a close angle by Burrows low cross. He was found by Poku, who has been excellent.
40 mins 1-0 Posh
Posh learning not to kick the ball out of play in the final third. Birmingham look less of a threat because of it straightaway. Posh defending in numbers and doing well to close the space.
36 mins 1-0 Posh
Marriott gifts the ball away and all of a sudden Posh are broken on. Ball over the top to Hogan, goes past Beevers like he isn’t there, crosses to Jutkiewicz, who has a great chance on the edge of the six-yard box. Looks like the dive of Kent does enough to put him off. Shows what can happen when Posh are sloppy.
35 mins 1-0 Posh
Deep corner, Beevers heads on but it hits the back of JCH and Birmingham clear. Norburn shells the rebound out of play
34 mins 1-0 Posh
More good football from Posh, Thompson brings the ball out, feeds Norburn, who puts Burrows in behind. Cross blocked, corner.
33 mins 1-0 Posh
Again, Posh find plenty of space on the break, just a shame that Taylor chooses an ambitious 40-yard shot over finding Mumba. He’s made a number of great runs tonight but has been ignored.
30 mins 1-0 Posh
Posh look happy to sit back, not quite the same level as at West Brom but Birmingham are being allowed to bring the ball forward. Does mean there is a lot of space for Posh when they have the ball but they need to use it better.
