There’s still space for Posh, which is encouraging. Burrows is battling away well but still Posh are finding it hard to carve out chances.

74 mins 1-0 Wednesday

Thompson takes a nasty knock from Brown, game stopped.

73 mins 1-0 Wednesday

Crazy moment from Norris as he comes out of his area, the ball is going into his area, but anyway he tries to kick clear but it comes back off the defender and he’s got an open goal if not for Edwards heading clear in the right place at the right time.

71 mins 1-0 Wednesday

Wednesday well on top, Posh have defended well though. Edwards make a great block from a curling effort from range 30 yards out.

Change up to top- Lee Gregory for Smith

Posh bring on Ward for Poku.

65 mins GREAT CHANCE

Come on Poku,

Out of nothing, played in one-on-one by Burrows with a great ball. He’s so right-foted though he never gets a shot in and lets himself get caught up and the keeper meet him. Incredible.

65 mins 1-0 Wednesday

Posh haven’t been anywhere near the Wedesday box this half.

Now the time wasting begins. Palmer down.

61 mins 1-0 Wednesday

Much more aggression and intensity this half and it pays off.
