Now some pressure, Ball driven across the box for Poku. His effort is blocked though close to the goalline. JCH then is rugby tackled to the floor on the edge of the box.

Some pressure in between that though. Marriott’s long-range shot palmed away and then JCH sees a shot on the turn blocked.
Jack Taylor puts the corner over everyone.
49 mins 3-1 Shrews
Dear me.
Posh nearly get into a mess from one long ball down the middle. Bergstrom comes all the way to the edge of his box a la MK in stoppage time. Saydee tries the dink, which worked on that day but can’t get it over the keeper.
48 mins 3-1 Shrews
Turn and shot from Marriott, well saved by Marosi. First thing he’s had to do other than pick the ball out.
PENALTY
Free kick thrown into the box, Burrows a little unlucky as JCH turns his back on the ball, Dunkley comes from behind and nips in before Burrows.
