Morecambe have a strong home record, having not lost any of their last nine league games on their own pitch.

Oliver Norburn has traveled with the Posh team with a decision to be made on his fitness to make the matchday squad.

LIVE: Morecambe vs Posh

Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off

Professional second half from Posh.

Posh ending the half well in the ascendency.

Thompson has a good chance to get himself on hte scoresheet but can’t sort his feet out on the edge of the box.

Great save!

Ogbeta has been denied by some keeping brilliance this time. Ward chested the ball down in the box, gets it out to JCH, who slides it across to the right of teh box for Ogbeta. He shoots towards the top corner but Ogbeta throws up a hand brilliantly.

Morecambe’s subs haven’t helped them, they’ve lost what impetus they had and this game is winding to its conclusion as Taylor smashes one out of the stadium.

Posh just about deal with another corner before they really should score.

Ogbeta gets onto a loose ball and uses his pace to get in one-on-one, he’s got a clear shot at goal but appears to get caught in two minds about whether to cross or shoot, there is no questions he should shoot. It’s a horrible effort high and wide.

Looks like Butler LB, Ogbeta LW and EMC over to the right.

Posh have been a bit stronger the last few minutes. EMC getting stuck in, shows good feet before floating a cross just over the head of JCH.

Burrows off, Butler on

Morecambe triple sub

Jake Taylor, Michael Mellon, and Josh Austerfield on

Gnahoua, Wier and Shaw off.
