Team news

Lewis doubtful for Tangerines clash Peterborough manager Gary Johnson could be without goalkeeper Joe Lewis for the visit of play-off chasing Blackpool.

Captain Lewis had a fine game despite his side's 6-0 thrashing at Reading last weekend and almost single-handedly prevented the Royals from racking up double figures.

However he is struggling with a hip injury so James McKeown is on standby to make a rare start.

Left-back Scott Griffiths is also a doubt with a stomach injury but on-loan Brighton striker Liam Dickinson should be back after missing three games with a hamstring injury.

Strikers Aaron Mclean (knee) and Izale McLeod (knee) are out along with winger Chris Whelpdale (ankle), while defender Gabriel Zakuani will miss the rest of the season after injuring his groin at Reading.

Midfielders Lee Frecklington (hamstring) and Sergio Torres (ankle) are also on the sidelines for Posh who have already been relegated.

Blackpool may hand late fitness tests to Charlie Adam and Ben Burgess.

Midfielder Adam has been struggling with an ankle problem but should be okay to play, while striker Burgess (knee), who missed last weekend's 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest, is rated as 50/50 for the clash at London Road.

Neal Eardley (hamstring) could return to the squad after building up his fitness in a reserve game against Accrington on Wednesday, but Stephen McPhee (knee) remains on the sidelines.

Hameur Bouazza is receiving treatment abroad on his groin problem and will be unavailable for selection.

DJ has Seasiders in a spin DJ Campbell's first-half goal ensured Blackpool will go into the final round of the Coca-Cola Championship fixtures in the play-offs following a 1-0 win against Peterborough.

The Seasiders went into the game two points adrift of sixth-placed Swansea but they leapfrogged them due to the Swans' 2-0 defeat at Sheffield United.

Blackpool piled forward from the start and gave Peterborough an early warning when in-form striker Campbell beat debutant Danny Andrew before firing just wide.

The visitors continued to exert pressure and Brett Ormerod could have given them the lead but the forward shot wide.

Ian Holloway`s men took a deserved lead in the 12th minute through Campbell although there were suspicions of offside.

Charlie Adam drove forward and found Stephen Crainey who whipped an excellent cross on to the head of Gary Taylor-Fletcher. The striker then headed into the path of Campbell who forced a save from James McKeown with an acrobatic overhead kick before finishing the rebound.

Spurred on by their opener, the Seasiders pushed for a second and nearly grabbed it but McKeown produced an excellent save to deny Ian Evatt from David Vaughan`s corner.

Peterborough started to work their way back into the game as Liam Dickinson struck wide from 18 yards.

It was Blackpool who created the game`s next real chance, though, when Taylor-Fletcher found himself clean through before squaring to Campbell who forced another good save from McKeown.

Whatever Gary Johnson said to his players during the interval seemed to work as Posh started to threaten their play-off chasing opponents.

And they should have restored parity but Craig Mackail-Smith saw his effort cleared off the line before Nathan Koranteng hit a great chance wide.

The visitors' struggles early in the second half were summed up by the form of star-man Adam who was clearly rattled by being a yellow card away from a three-match ban.

Blackpool still looked dangerous when attacking the hosts` fragile defence, though, as Ormerod forced a save from McKeown.

The noise created by the travelling faithful went up a few decibels when news of Richard Cresswell`s opener at Bramall Lane filtered through and the Tangerines responded by piling forward in search for a second.

And they should have got it in the 75th minute but Campbell spurned a fantastic opportunity to grab his eighth for the club.

The hosts might already be relegated but they were not going down without a fight as they desperately pushed for a leveller.
