Here, the club’s fans have their say on who can leave and the Peterborough Telegraph picks six players who could be at risk unless there is a dramatic improvement in form in the final four matches before the January transfer window opens.
Out-of-favour goalkeeper Christy Pym is one player Posh are certain to try and move on.

Posh fans on who they would let leave London Road in January...
Clarke-Harris, Beevers, Ward, Szmodics, Grant will all never be good enough at this level. Problem is you’d want them all back in League One next season.
@CrispLevi
Wasn’t trying to be that brutal, but add Kent and Butler to that list above!
@Robewing71
Beevers, Butler, Ward and Fergie.
@razzyhudsOn
Butler, Ward, Beevers, Kanu can go. Unfortunately a step up too far. Send Coventry back as well.
@Kyle_Irving
All of them need a kick up the backside to start playing like a Championship club.
@MichaelRealReed
My list: JCH, Beevers, Ward, Grant, Kent, Butler, Knight, Coventry. Bit of a worry actually that the list continues to grow.

Wouldn’t get rid of them, but was expecting more from JCH, Taylor and Coventry after all the fuss we made about him! To be fair to the others we all knew it was going to be a massive step up.
@davidwhy1971
Dan Butler. There’s about five or six who realistically won’t ever be Championship level though!
@AlexBatt
Beevers does enough. Kent, Butler and Ward first names to leave followed by Coventry. Everyone else I’d keep.
@AdammortonJ
Unless we stay in touch with the teams above, it won’t matter who leaves.
@jimhicksuk
Coventry (big disappointment), JCH (looks overweight and has no mobility), Beevers (does try, but is past it).
@Rutlandspinner
If we continue to play out from the back then Beevers should leave.
@plassedinparis
I would still would give Ward, Kent and JCH the chance to prove themselves. Szmodics, Grant, Taylor need to step up.

. MARK BEEVERS
The skipper has looked out of sorts since he returned from a hamstring injury. His experience, his left-foot and his height, could save him from the chop, but Posh might also like to get one of their likely higher earners off the wage bill. Visually Nathan Thompson is a more inspirational captain.
. DAN BUTLER
It's a certainty Posh will try and sign a left-sided defender who is comfortable at left-back and wing-back in January. Butler is the only Posh player to have appeared in all 20 Championship matches this season and even had a couple of matches as a third centre-back. But his limitations are obvious, although he may well be kept on back-up.
. JOE WARD
Ward has been left out of the last two matchday squads after appearing in all the previous 19 Championship matches, but nothing should be read into that as he's been injured and ill in the last fortnight. Whether or not he can eventually play consistently at Championship level is currently open to debate.
. JONSON CLARKE-HARRIS
Last season's goalscoring hero's stock has fallen quickly this season partly because of fitness concerns. He bagged 33 goals to shoot Posh to the Championship, but he's struggled to make the step us much as anyone. One open play goal is a poor return for a man considered the main striker. Posh might decide to cash in on him now rather than let his value drop even further.
