League One and FA Cup games affecting Peterborough United on Tuesday, supercomputer latest, new manager appointed
Peterborough United will drop a place to 12th in League One on Tuesday night if Barnsley win their game against Wycombe Wanderers at Oakwell.
‘The Tykes’ are currently two points behind Posh with four games in hand. A win for Wycombe would catapult them into a play-off place.
Things could also change at the bottom end of the table as Exeter City, who have re-appointed former boss Matt Taylor until the end of the season, host Burton Albion and Rotherham United entertain Mansfield Town. A win for Rotherham would move them out of the bottom four at the expense of Blackpool and reduce the gap between Posh and the relegation zone from 10 to nine points.
Northampton Town would then drop to next-to-bottom. Cobblers have a chance to get to Wembley on Wednesday when they visit Luton Town for a Vertu Trophy semi-final. Grant McCann’s Doncaster Rovers are at home to Stockport County in the other semi-final tonight.
It’s also Port Vale v Bristol City in a delayed fourth round FA Cup tie tonight. If Vale win their scheduled League One game at Posh on Saturday will be postponed as they will instead be hosting Sunderland in a fifth round tie on Sunday.
