60 mins 1-0 Posh
Great chance for 2-0. Thompson cross, to the back post again. JCH heads it down under pressure towards the bottom corner and it just skims the sidenetting.
Out of absolutely nowhere. Joe Ward hangs a ball to the backpost. JCH heads it back from where it came and there is EMC for a simple header just a few yards out.

The pressure is cracking up now. Norris comes and has a flap but it bailed out by Edwards to prevent Odubeko getting a simple tap-header.
Posh can’t get out right now.

Vale on top after the break. Posh having to soak up pressure and deal with balls into the box. JCH does well but it does leave Posh without an outball.

Bright start Vale, Worrall causing problems again. Takes a combination of Poku, EMC and Butler to stop him this time.
