4-2-3-1 for Derby, over 4000 away fans in the ground.

Corner Derby, boos as NML has a cross blocked.

Ref calls a foul as Forsyth and Kent battle, the Derby man thinks that should have been the other way around.

Few very soft fouls against Posh early, not a great sign.

Pish scramble away a free kick from the left that was bobbling around, Derby seeing most of the early ball but nothing dangerous yet.

Another free-kick, Hourhiane pushed over by Ward, right on the left, 25 yards out.

Musses all the heads but comes off Kent, flag goes up against Cashin though.

Posh yet to get anything going, forwards hardly seen any of the ball.
