Peterborough United still have work to do to avoid relegation as one League One departure was confirmed on Good Friday


But a win at Barnsley on Easter Monday would pretty much seal the deal regardless of how Bristol Rovers get on at home to Stevenage because of a big Posh advantage in goal difference.
Rovers gained an unexpected point at Wrexham today and were disappointed not to have picked up all three points after conceding a controversial equaliser 15 minutes from time. That result enabled Wycombe Wanderers to jump into second place after a 2-0 win at fading Bolton Wanderers.

City were surprisingly held to a 0-0 draw at St Andrew’s by Crawley Town today. Crawley are six points from safety with three games to go, while Cambridge United are five points from fifth bottom after a last-gasp 2-1 win at Huddersfield Town.
The Us have a tough game at home to Leyton Orient on Monday. Orient slipped back into the play-off places today as their come-from-behind 4-3 win over Barnsley at Brisbane Road was accompanied by a 1-0 defeat for Reading at home to Lincoln City.
Northampton Town remain in trouble after a 2-1 loss at Charlton Athletic. They are four points clear of the bottom four and host relegated Shrewsbury Town on Monday. Former Posh striker Matty Godden scored the winning goal for Charlton.
