Shots were coming in from every angle and despite the great saves being pulled off by Mario Addison Jersey  Paul Jones the deadlock was inevitably broken on 22 minutes when Marlon King coolly slotted home a cro s from David Murphy.The Birmingham side were big and strong, how the scoreline was still only 1-0 going in at half time was anyones gue s but somehow Posh were still in the game, mainly down to the impre siveperformance being put on show by Gabriel Zakuani.After making a change 51 minutes into the game, the injured Mark Little was placed by Tom Kennedy allowing Craig Alcock to move acro s to his preferred right back spot, the Posh Khalil Shakir Jersey  backline seemed to tightened up.The resistance paid off when Posh were awarded a freekick just outside the area on the hour mark. Of course it was the magical Grant McCann who stepped up to take the kick and to everyones amazement the skipper managed to somehow perfectly squeeze to Buffalo Bills Women Jersey  ball between the post and the keeper from a very tight angle.This gave Posh confidence and no longer were they happy with just a point they were going out to steal all three. Even the giant Nikola Zigic couldnt muster up anything special for Birmingham and the fans frustration showed as the ground rapidly emptied from the 80 minute point.This valuable point saw Posh climb back up to 11th in the table, incredibly just four points from the play-off places.
