​​After Saturday’s impressive 3-0 win over Oxford we asked fans 1) Where Posh will finish this season, 2) Who will be promoted? 3) Who will be relegated, 4) Who is the Posh player of the season so far?

Over 100 fans responded and here are the results and a selection of fans’ comments to @PTAlanSwann on X...

68% of fans who took part on our survey believe Posh will finish in an automatic promotion place in League One, with slightly more (42%-36%) predicting a second placed finish over top spot..

Not a single fan suggested Posh would finish below the play-off places (top six).

PROMOTION

Bolton Wanderers were the most tipped team to go up with 90% of fans expecting the Trotters to be in the Championship next season

Posh were next with 85% of fans tipping them to either finish in the top two or win the play-offs.

Only two other teams, Portsmouth and Derby County, received promotion votes with most favouring the Rams over Pompey to go up with Posh and Bolton.

Season-long high fliers Oxford United and Stevenage were friendless.

RELEGATION

As many as 11 teams received relegation nominations, although the single votes cast for Northampton Town, Wycombe Wanderers, Leyton Orient and Lincoln City might be more to do with rivalries rather than serious predictions.

The most nominated teams to be relegated were Fleetwood Town and Carlisle United who received 18 votes apiece, one more than Cheltenham Town with Reading filling the fourth relegation spot according to PT readers.

Other clubs to be nominated were Cambridge United, Exeter City and Burton Albion.

PLAYER OF YEAR

Classy defender Ronnie Edwards was a narrow winner with 25.9% of the votes cast, just ahead of power forward Ephron Mason-Clark (24%) and popular centre-back Josh Knight (22%).

Other players to receive votes were midfielders Hector Kyprianou and Archie Collins, plus left-back Harrison Burrows and exciting winger Kwame Poku.
