The story of Ricky’s career so far. Picks up the ball deep in his own hlaf, charges all the way to the Cheltenham box, goes to shoot, goal kick. Scuffed wide.

Posh come forward for the first time after about 5 minutes, good ball Burrows but Jones can only send it over the bar with his head. Important Posh survived that period.
Just before, Bergstrom looked very commanding from a long throw from Jackson.

Posh all over the place, Kent is sleeping when a pass is played back to him. It’s 3 on 2 for a moment for the centre half recovers.

JCH heads out a dangerous ball, only for Randall to pass it straight to Perry on the edge of the box, he finds Freestone on the left, who sends a shot across the face of the goal. Another chance.

Posh still not finding their passing, a couple of balls from Kent and Burrows just hammered at their recipients with no hope of controlling them. Szmodics getting very high alongside JCH, midfeild not got many options when they do get it.

Out of play as Burrows looks to find Randall on the left, don’t think JCH has touched the ball yet.
