Peterborough United return to action with the visit of Fleetwood this evening (September 13, 7:45pm).

After Saturday’s enforced break to pay respect to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, Posh are finally back in action after the defeat to Portsmouth last time out.

They are looking to break a four-match losing streak in all competitions and face a Fleetwood side that have drawn all of their last five league games.

Nathan Thompson returns from suspension to boost Posh.

Follow all of the action on the PT live blog below.

Key Events

  • Thompson back from suspension
  • Posh have lost their last 4 in all competitions
  • Fleetwood have drawn their last 5 in League One

87 mins 1-0 Fleetwood

Yellow card for Earl, pretty poor challenge on JCH from behind. The free-kick in just results in a Fleetwood freekick. Earl himself gets a high foot.

85 mins 1-0 Fleetwood

Jones misses a free header after a good cross from EMC. As good as its been this half.

83 mins 1-0 Fleetwood

Floated cross from Jones, JCH plants it over, was never going to generate the power. All Posh now possession wise.

82 mins 1-0 Fleetwood

Finally some good balls starting to come in from Ward on the right. This one has to be headed away from JCH well. Fleetwood now slipping back but Posh hardly banging at the door yet.

80 mins Fleetwood sub

Batty and Gomes off for Paddy Lane and Harvey Macadam.

80 mis 1-0 Fleetwood

Corner played out to Taylor, chipped out of play.

79 mins 1-0 Fleetwood

Flicked header from JCH from a Ward cross at least makes Lynch tip a ball over the bar.

79 mins 1-0 Fleetwood

First corner leads to another after a deflected Knight header. The second comes out to Ward, who floats a weak ball into the hands of the keeper. Far too many floated passes tonight, none of them work.

77 mins 1-0 Fleetwood

Hopeful ball from Knight, headed out for a corner atleast. Pretty uninspiring stuff.

75 mins 1-0 Fleetwood Posh sub

Thompson was clearly taken off under the concussion sub rule as Posh use their 4th time slot to bring on a player. Randall on for Poku.
