Peterborough United: Live Blog as Posh return to League One action against Barnsley
The match has been moved forward to avoid a potential clash with an England match in the World Cup, only for England to play on Sunday.
Nevertheless, Posh return to league action after two cup defeats and looks to kick-start their campaign that does still see them sitting in fourth.
Barnsley are just a point behind though and have a game in hand so victory tonight is very important.

LIVE: Posh vs Barnsley
Key Events
- 7:45pm kick-off
- Barnsley just a point behind Posh
- Joe Ward could be back
That’s exactly how you play against a highline. Long ball over the top. Poku picks it up on the right, plays in a great cross and there is Jack Taylor in the middle to head home from the penalty spot. Buries it low ot the keeper’s left.

Another unlucky deflection out for a goal kick stops a promising EMC counter but that’s what Posh are getting limited to.

Well that’s lucky it’s not 2. Connell with a free-kick on the left 30 yards out. Swings it right into the heart of the box and onto the head of Edwards. He should score after escaping is marker and is probably glad to see the flag go up.
1-0 Barnsley
Posh stunned but they’ve created their own problems. They take a long throw in. It gets passed to Connell on the edge of the box. No pressure at all. He has the time to take a touch, chest it down and volley it into the corner of the net. Bergstrom rooted.

Positive enough start from Posh. On the front-foot. Poku unlucky to see a tackle from Kitching after a good direct run come back off him for a goalkick.
