Well if the Posh Alnwick can keep a clean sheet as the Port Vale Alnwick meets his 2.625 Newcastle goals conceded target then Posh could make the play off spots with a couple of results going their way.
Don't mention though that their next fixture is Tuesday Oct 20 against Wigan who could also hit the play off spots tomorrow: Posh's 3-2 defeat by in-form Bury on Tuesday Sept 29 meant that they have lost 12 of their last 15 Tuesday night games
And there's more! Next Saturday sees the return of this man
Darren Ferguson: Doncaster appoint ex-Peterborough boss
New Doncaster boss Darren Ferguson believes the team can challenge for promotion from League One this season.
The former Peterborough boss was appointed boss of the Keepmoat Stadium side, who are currently 20th in the table, on Friday.
"This club is ready to go, there is no question about that," the 43-year-old told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"There is a good blend of youth and experience. I've had plenty of time to look at them and there's a team there."
He continued: "It has been made clear that the aim is to get to the Championship. The reality of that means this season we need to get 21 wins from our remaining 35 games.
"It's an exciting challenge and one that we will meet head-on."
Ferguson's promotion pedigree
Darren Ferguson has won three promotions in his time as a manager.
He helped Posh to back-to-back promotions from League Two to the Championship between 2007 and 2009 before taking Peterborough back to the second tier in his second spell with the club in 2011.
Ferguson, who is the son of former Manchester United boss Sir Alex, will take charge of the team for the first time in Saturday's home match against Bradford.
He has replaced fellow Scot Paul Dickov in the Keepmoat Stadium dugout after the former Oldham boss was sacked on 8 September after taking just six points from their opening six league games.
Interim boss Rob Jones won one of his six matches in charge to leave Doncaster above the League One drop zone on goal difference only.
Ferguson left Peterborough in February after four years with the London Road side and has signed a rolling contract with Rovers.
He said he had benefitted from taking some time out of the game.
"I wanted the break and I felt that I needed it in the right way," he added.
"I went straight from playing to management and then had maybe a month between leaving Peterborough and Preston and going back to Peterborough.
"There was an offer straight after I left Peterborough and in the summer, but the timing wasn't right."
