The gap to play-off places has increased as the gap to the relegation zone has shrunk for Peterborough United
The League One table looks a lot different since Peterborough United last played.
Posh have sat and suffered on the sidelines as 10 teams have played twice since their own 1-1 draw at Northampton Town on February 28.
In that time the gap to the play-off places has grown to nine points and the gap to the relegation zone has shrunk to eight points.
Leyton Orient’s excellent come from behind win against Stevenage on Tuesday night lifted them out of the relegation zone at the expense of Wigan Athletic. Top score Dom Ballard scored twice for Orient who host Posh on Saturday.
Wigan fell two places after losing 3-0 at home to a resurgent Plymouth Argyle side. Blackpool also overtook them on goals scored despite not playing tonight. That particular situation could change on Wednesday night as Blackpool are at AFC Wimbledon and any defeat would drop ‘The Seasiders’ back into the bottom four. A point for Wimbledon would take them above Posh into 13th place.
Of the teams below Posh in action tonight, Exeter City lost 1-0 at home to leaders Lincoln City, Doncaster Rovers came from behind to draw 1-1 at home to Luton Town and Mansfield Town beat Reading 1-0 with a goal from former Posh midfielder Louis Reed.
Stevenage and Reading both missed the chance to climb into a play-off place.
Bottom club Port Vale, who are 11 points from safety, entertain promotion-chasing Bradford City on Wednesday.
