80 mins 3-1 Shrews
Corner comes in, drops invitingly but Kent can’t connect with a shot. The ball is sent back in though, just over this head. The move finally comes to an end when the ball goes in for the third time to Kent and the flag goes up. In all the frustration, he talks himself into a yellow card.

Marriott pull back goes towards JCH but it’s cleared and Posh win a corner.

Shrewsbury coming back into this slightly. Have Posh had their best spell?
Shrewsbury look just as poor as Posh did in the first half but Posh have not taken their chances.
64 mins 3-1 Shrews
EMC now has a glorious chance, fed in by a diagonal ball to the left of the box. Rushes his effort and shoots low without any power.
61 mins 3-1 Shrews
Marriott turns and shoots on the edge of the box. Tame effort but Marosi spills it. JCH should tap it in but his back is to the keeper and he doesn’t see it. Crazy.
59 mins 3-1 Shrews
The latest chance that should have gone in.
JCH this time and he started the move himself with a great touch and dribble to beat his man, plays the ball out to EMC on the left and heads for the box. He gets it back, takes a touch but surprisingly puts it well wide.
