Peterborough United look to cling onto their Championship status for at least another week as they travel to Barnsley (April 18, 3pm).

Today represents the first game in which Posh can berelegated. That would happen unless Posh pick up more points than Reading, who host Swansea.

Picking up the same number of points would not see Posh go down officially but there is no chance of turning around the goal difference gap.

Barnsley are one point worse off than Posh, so both sides will be desperate to win and stay alive, at least for another week.

Barnsley must have had at least 8% of the ball in this half.

Very clever, played along the ground to Woodrow, a few yards out, Cornell down well to save but Posh did not read that.

Barnsley free-kick on the left.

Latest yellow is for Marriott, stops a break with a sliding tackle. Had to make it because Szmodics was so far upfield.

Yellow for Palmer, trips Poku as Posh try to start a rare break.

Taylor with the latest block, Claudio Gomas looked to let fly from the edge of the box. This is desperate last-ditch stuff.

55 mins 1-0 Posh

Posh look a shambles at the back now. Bassi left unmarked, sends a low ball towards Woodrow, ends up hitting Knight, not sure he knew anything about the block he made.

After all that, should be 2-. Long ball up from Cornell, Poku picks it up, slips the perfect pas into Szmodics to run onto. He gets there but his first touch is too heavy and the keeper gets out off his line to collect. Should never have got the chance.
