  • Shrewsbury lost 6-0 last time out
  • Norburn and Ogbeta return to old club

Looks like Winchester has taken a blow in a 50-50. He’s down shouting for the phyio.

Ball over the top gets Edwards it trouble. He’s a bit complacent seeing the ball back to Norris and Bowman gets in behind. Norris has to come out and make a save low down.

Things get worse when Norris kicks the ball away after the ref has blown for a corner. He picks up a booking.

The intensity of the press has taken a step up in the second half. Posh finding it a bit harder to keep the ball and find space.

Posh now finally getting into the half. Edwards clears a free kick up to JCH, he flicks on for Ward in the box but he miscontrols out of play. Story of his day.

Just like that, Dunkley nearly pulls one back. Great leap from a Bennett header. Only just wide of the pot, he was unopposed in the air.

What a finish EMC. Cuts in from the left, turns down the chance to shoot once, comes further across the outside on the box and rifles a shot into the bottom left corner.

Ogbeta fed him after a flowing Posh move from the back.

Poku put sfar too much power on a simple-looking pass to play in EMC on the left. His head went after that miss if you ask me.

Shrewsbury switch to a back 4, 4-1-4-1. Bowman upfront on his own.
