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

Should be 1-1.

Barkhuizen skews a header over from just a few yards out. He found space from Dobbin’s cross after Kent goes to ground.

Ogbeta taps into an empty net following EMC’s pass across the box to Poku, JCH did so well to hold it up. Poku shoots, it’s saved but pops out to Obgeta.

Jones on for EMC

Ben Thompson for Ward

Ben Thompson appears to be at RWB, Ricky up front.

Derby coming on strong but Posh holding their shape well and Ben T has won a couple of good headers.

Ben Thompson booked for time-wasting, harsh. Wasn’t over that throw that long.

Thompson doing great work on this right side, it must be said.

Ogbeta slips Ricky in one-on-one in the box. He takes it past Wildsmith but does give himself a tricky angle and he can;t even hit the side-netting. JCH was there for a pass back. 2 and a half to go.
