Posh sign off the regular season with an impressive demolition of D&R. The result ensures home advantage in the second play-off leg against MKD and relegates D&R at the same time.
Rochdale 2 Posh 2
Another late goal, this time three minutes from the end, denies Posh two points that would have guaranteed a home advantage in the second leg of the semi-final play-off. So Posh will need one point at home to Dagenham next Saturday to prevent MKD from overtaking them. Posh are stumbling into the play-offs. Since thrashing Sheffield Wednesday…
Posh 2 Yeovil 2
Ferguson decides the automatic promotion race is over for Posh and rests many of his key players. Three goals in the last five minutes provides a gloss to the game that frankly it didn’t deserve. Yeovil fans are confined to the main stand as Posh supporters are allowed behind both goals for one last time…
Leyton Orient 2 Posh 1

Posh 2 Plymouth 1
An awful first half display had the natives restless at half time and Plymouth deservedly winning 1-0. Bennett equalised on 55 minutes and CMS notched what turned out to be the winner on 70 minutes.

He wasn’t wrong. Posh tore into Bournemouth and, frankly, made them look like a team from a lower division. CMS, then Rowe…
Bristol Rovers 2 Posh 2
If Posh fail to achieve automatic promotion it will be their less than impressive away form that will have denied them. Rovers are in 23rd place and have lost nine times at home this season. Of course the Posh cause wasn’t helped when Little was dismissed for a second bookable offence but, in truth, the side…

Amidst the graffiti on the wall of the forum in Pompeii there’s a phrase that translates to something like “you’ve got to score while you’re on top,” anthropologists reckon it may have been copied from the famous eleventh tablet of stone. Football fans through every generation have passed down this folklore. So that’s the first half summed…
