How Doncaster Rovers’ run-in compares with rivals for sixth spot

Grant McCann and Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson

Doncaster Rovers’ quest to claim the final play-off place could go right down to the wire – but how does their run-in compare with their rivals?

Sixth-placed Rovers still have a game in hand but a run of five matches without a win has seen the gap to seventh place reduced to just one point.

Peterborough United, in seventh, have taken just six points from the last 21 available – which has opened the door for Blackpool, Coventry City and possibly even Fleetwood Town.

The average number of points required to reach the League One play-offs over the last ten years is 74.

Here’s the fixture run-ins for the teams chasing that final play-off spot…
