Are you a positive Peterborough United thinker or do you fear the worst? Here's what could happen to Posh on Tuesday night.

A Peterborough United defeat at home to Rotherham United on Tuesday night would set the relegation alarm bells ringing.

If it happens, and Posh will again be fielding a depleted side, and Blackpool beat bottom club Port Vale at Bloomfield Road the gap to the bottom four would be down to five points for Luke Williams’ squad.

Only Mansfield have a realistic chance of overtaking Posh, but they have a tough game at Bradford City. Burton Albion, at home to Reading, and Doncaster Rovers, away to Bolton, could both catch Posh on 46 points.

If Posh win and Barnsley (home to Wigan) and AFC Wimbledon (home to Orient) both lose there would be two-game climb back into the top half of the table and a huge sigh of relief around London Road!
