Well it's not critical yet as 7th plays 11th but Posh really can't afford to drop many more silly points. A point at Wycombe would have been a good result before kick off but after 2-0 up and then taking the lead against 10 men only to concede in 90+5, it was two points dropped. Then surrender a 2 goal lead at 5th from bottom Tranmere in the last half hour of the match for another lost 2 points. The cherry on the top though, and potentially the one that really matters when the end of season calculators are out, is 1-3 to Fleetwood (sitting 3rd 3 points ahead of Posh  ). Those points would put Posh second which would probably be a true reflection of a quality team and management. Posh are clinging on to a play off position in October which is a concern. However, with three of their next four matches at home Posh could repair some of the damage and build some confidence. |

Hard fought win that Posh just about deserved in front of a healthy Attendance of 9,872 (well over 2000 Lincoln in there).
Ivan Toney became the top goalscorer in English football as Peterborough moved up to third in League One.
The 23-year-old now has 10 goals this campaign, more than any other player in all competitions.
Late strikes from Toney and Louis Reed ensured Peterborough saw off Lincoln in a scoreline that flattered the hosts.
In a game that the visitors dominated at times, midfielder Reed hit an unstoppable strike into the roof of the net with eight minutes to go before Toney's neat lob wrapped things up five minutes later.
Reed was sent off at the end after receiving a second yellow card for bringing down Jake Hesketh.
Lincoln's Tyler Walker had the best chance of the first half from Bruno Andrade's cross, but Christy Pym was on hand to deny the striker from point-blank range.
After the break Toney's shove on Michael O'Connor almost immediately from the kick-off ended the Lincoln midfielder's afternoon following lengthy treatment on the pitch.
He was replaced by Tom Pett, whose misplaced pass saw Siriki Dembele break free and fire goalwards, with the ball falling kindly for Reed who lashed an effort home from 20 yards.
Moments later a ball over the top from Niall Mason found Toney, who applied an expert finish.
