90 mins 3-1 Posh
Things get a bit lively between Cliff Byrne and Clark. Byrne doesn’t return the ball quickly and Clark comes in with a push.
Byrne gets a yellow but somehow Harvey Rodgers does too, weird.
88 mins 3-1 Posh
Posh come straight back and now Marriott spurns a good crossing chance on the right by blasting it into the side-netting.
Better from Posh though.
87 mins 3-1 Posh
Poku should score. Marriott whips in a ball from the left. Poku attacks it but when it gets to the point of contact with a header it’s weak and goes weill wide.
84 mins 3-1 Posh
Good few minutes fof keeping the ball for Posh before Dan Martin hacks down Taylor in the middle of the pitch.
78 mins 3-1 Posh
Still Accrington come. Poku loses the ball, on pour the red shirts. Thompson and Kent sell themselves on the right. Ball in goes deep to Coyle, he lays it off for Hamilton to run onto and strike but he can’t kee pit down.
76 mins 3-1 Posh
Posh really need to settle this down. One long ball over the top catches everyone out. Pritchard runs off Butler, Bergstrom comes out and makes the block standing up. He then turns his back and runs back to his line even though the ball is right there for him to pick up.
Fuchs comes away with it but fires a hospital pass to Taylor short and is lucky he’s fouled as he goes to pick up the second loose ball.
