Key Events

  • 3pm kick-off
  • Ronnie Edwards away on international duty
  • Posh now one point of the play-offs
  • Derby have now won 1 of 5

Norris holds a low ball into the box by Smith well. Still Derby on the ascendency if anything.

Burrows with a swift breakway, tries to play in EMC on the left of the box but the winger slips and the pass was a bit overhit anyway.

Slow start to the game, ball trapped in midfield.

Derby corner.

Turned goalwards by Forsyth but its into the ground and with no pace, JCH was rather static there.

McGoldrick with a wild shot over from 30 yards, Posh need to sharpen up, Derby are winning everything in midfield.

Two great crosses in from NML but no one in the box to meet them, strange, NML angry with his teammates.

They’re getting in very easily on the right though.

The balls are just raining into the Posh box, they’re just lucky they’re not falling to a crimson shirt. It’s all Derby.

Break in play as Thompson is down, Fergie calls a team talk

Sharp save with his feet from Hourahane as he shoots across Norris.

Knight skinned by McGoldrick on the right. He did ok before holding onto the ball too long. Ogbeta is never in the left back space, its not good.
