Peterborough United host Bristol Rovers at the Weston Homes Stadium (September 19, 3pm).

Posh are still in search of that elusive home and go into today with perhaps the best opportunity so far against a Bristol Rovers side who have scored just four goals this season and lost 4-0 last weekend to Wigan.

Will Darren Ferguson make any tactical tweaks?

LIVE: Posh vs Bristol Rovers

Hoofed clear and the whistle goes!

Rovers free kick, 100 minutes

Middle of the Posh half

Posh won the ball quickly, Odoh just over halfway wasn’t an option because he’d gone offside. He shoots, it’s nowhere near goal but it does kill some time.

Steer pushes a Wilson volley round the post!

Corner, the keeper is up

It’s all Rovers, Posh can't even for the ball out of their own box first time.

Five minutes to go, no real chances as yet though.

McCormick has caused Posh all sorts of problems since coming on.

He has a great chance to pick out Taylor in space in the box but puts far too much power on the cross.

10 added munites to hang on

and it is hanging on.

Posh now scramble a ball a ball away from their near post and out for a corner, They’re lucky, the corner is so bad.

The defence is seriously wobbling now but there is nothing upfront and Posh are picking nothing up.

That should have been 3-3.

Katongo caught upfield, Fernandez watches a pass into Forde right on by, he goes past him. Finds McCormick out wide and heads for the box, he gets it back and Steer has to save with his legs.

Fergie booked for his protests, Conteh has flattened Kyprianou with a late tackle, then pretended to be injured himself and got away with it.

Posh have lost the plot and are struggling to keep hold of the ball.

Sam Curtis replaces Ajiboye

Shaq Forde for Sotiriou

Steer plays on but puts a goal kick straight out of play

Free-kick now come in after Ajiboye gives away a foul in the corner, he’s had a shocking few minutes.

Steer has flown off his line to punch it and has taken a nasty knock.

Crosses coming into the box from all over the pitch now. This time, O’Donkor gets up ahead of Katongo and flicks it into the corner.

Out on nowhere, Posh pegged back to one

Rovers have just started coming into the game and they’ve got a route back in as McCormick slams the ball in from inside the box.

Absolute statues from the Posh defence as they allow him the time to slam a cross home.

Grant Ward for Jamie Lindsay

Good delivery from the free kick, Steer has to punch away.

Posh clear the corner and Mothersille breaks away, he picks out Poku tothe right of him but it’s a pass that takes the momentum out of the move.

Poku cuts in from the right and shoots but it’s straight at the keeper.
