Peterborough United’s relegation to League One could be confirmed over the next few weeks barring a miraculous run of results from Grant McCann’s side.
The Posh currently sit bottom of the Championship table and are nine points away from safety with just five fixtures remaining.
Last weekend they amanged a 1-1 draw at home to Bristol City wth McCann saying after the match: “I’m disappointed. I thought we were so much in control in the first half that I could see they were forced into making a change.
“I think it’s two points dropped but what we did show in the second half was determination and commitment. Obviously down to 10 men it’s never easy and we had to defend a lot of balls into our box but we did that well.
“A point’s not enough for us, we wanted to try to get another one, hence why we brought Jack Marriott on and kept two up the pitch.”
Next up fot the Posh they host Blackburn Rovers on Friday night.
Meanwhile, away from the action on the pitch there is plenty discussion going on surrounding the summer transfer window which is fast approaching.
