No game for Peterborough United now until March 14 after Port Vale postponement

Peterborough United are now without a fixture on Saturday.

The scheduled League One game against bottom club Port Vale at the Weston Homes Stadium has been been postponed after 'The Valiants’ shock fourth round FA Cup win over Championship side Bristol City on Tuesday night.

Vale won 1-0 after extra-time to book a fifth round tie at home to Sunderland on Sunday.

Posh will return to action at Leyton Orient on Saturday, March 14 before tackling Rotherham United at home on Tuesday, March 17.

Posh remain in 11th place after the Tuesday League One matches, seven points from the play-off places and 10 points clear of the bottom four, but many teams will now play twice before Luke Williams’ side play again. There are eight midweek games on Tuesday/Wednesday March 10/11.

Rotherham’s 0-0 home draw with Mansfield Town last night moved them up a place to 22nd. Northampton Town are now next to bottom. Wycombe’s win at Barnsley moved them into the play-off places. Exeter City drew 1-1 with Burton Albion at St James’ Park.

Grant McCann’s Doncaster Rovers missed out on a Wembley trip as they were beaten 1-0 at home by Stockport County in a Vertu Trophy semi-final last night. Former Posh striker Malik Mothersille could make a third appearance in the competition final at Wembley in three years.

Mothersille came on as a late sub in the 2024 2-1 win over Wycombe and played 75 minutes of last season’s 2-0 win over Birmingham City.
