Peterborough United 2 Doncaster Rovers 2
11min Off the line
Rovers are millimetres away from an immediate equaliser.
Jason Lokilo won a corner and from it, Andy Butler put a header on goal which needed a goalline clearance from Mark Beevers to keep out.
10min GOAL Peterborough
Joe Ward has fired Peterborough ahead from the edge of the box.
Far, far too easy for Peterborough to move the ball around the pitch until it’s fed into Ward who has acres of space go pick his spot.
5min Decent save
Louis Jones pulls off a good save to keep out a shot from Joe Ward.
Ward cut back onto his right foot and went for the far bottom corner with his shot from 20 yards, catching Jones unsighted with a bobbling effort which he pushed away well.
And it’s THREE changes from the side that started the defeat to Fleetwood.
Out go Scott Robertson, Taylor Richards and Tyreece John-Jules.
In come Branden Horton, Jason Lokilo and the returning Omar Bogle.
James Coppinger misses out entirely due to illness but it is not Covid related.
Butler has opted for a 4-4-2 system with Reece James moving into central midfield.
