Five reasons why Posh can overtake Doncaster and finish sixth

Scott Oldham will referee the final Posh match of the regular League One season. Oldham was in charge when Posh played pitifully in a 1-1 home draw with Bradford City in November. Unusually Oldham has sent off just one player in 33 outings this season and that was at the end of March. He’s also issued 97 yellow cards. Oldham angered Rotherham fans last season by playing so much injury time Jack Marriot claimed a 96th minute equaliser for Posh. Momentumiswithus.Poshhave lost once in their last seven League One games. Doncaster haven’t won any of their last three and they lost their last home match to Accrington Stanley (who are they?).

Doncasterwouldhaveexpected to wrap up sixth place on Tuesday, but instead Posh stayed alive by claiming a superb win at Pompey. Doncaster are suddenly under pressure again and they might not cope.

Burton are a very good side in good form, but they arrive at the ABAX Stadium with nothing to play for and they will be heavily outnumbered in the crowd. In contrast Coventry will be backed by at least 2,000 fans at the Keepmoat Stadium. They’ll expect a strong showing from their side.

Coventryhavetheseventhbest away record in League One. They are the only side to have won at Sunderland this season, they also drew at Luton and Barnsley, as well as playing well and deservedly beating Posh at the ABAX. Burton have won just six of 22 away games and five were against struggling sides (Coventry was the exception).

The Posh boss is a multiple promotion-winner. The Doncaster boss isn’t.
