Peterborough United enjoy a good night despite dropping two places in the League One table

Posh started yesterday leading a set of five clubs all on 59 points, but Portsmouth and Fleetwood both moved past them after drawing 2-2 at Fratton Park. A draw was seen as the most favourable result for Posh. Neither team now has any games in hand on Posh who have a much superior goal difference compared to their promotion rivals.

Sunderland could also have gone past Posh, but they were surprisingly defeated 2-0 at out-of-form Bristol Rovers for whom former Posh striker Jonson Clarke-Harris scored twice. Sunderland are seventh level on points with Posh, but have now played a game more.

Posh remain three points behind second-placed Rotherham ahead of Saturday’s (March 14) trip to rock-bottom Bolton.

Ferguson watched Bolton draw 2-2 at Burton Albion last night.

Forthcoming key fixtures: Saturday, March 14 - Blackpool v Sunderland, Burton v Wycombe, Coventry v Shrwsbury, Doncaster v Wimbledon, Gillingham v Fleetwood, Oxford v MK Dons, Portsmouth v Accrington, Rotherham v Southed.

Tuesday, March 17 - Portsmouth v Doncaster.
