Posh did boast one of the best home records in the division until losing back-to-back matches to Wigan Athletic and Blackpool in February.
They have now picked up the 10th highest tally of home points in League One, although they have played fewer games than any other team in the division. Posh have eight of their last 13 League One games to play at the Weston Homes Stadium, but there is little prospect of an improved playing surface as there is plenty of rain forecast in the next couple of days.
Posh are expecting to play six games in March and five will be at home. Ferguson’s side are seven points off the automatic places having played fewer games than second-placed Derby and third-placed Bolton who both lost in midweek.
“We have to get back to what it was at home,” Ferguson said. “We had a very good home record until we lost a couple of games in a row and with so many games to come to home we need start winning again.
“We’ve had a good week though. Without a Tuesday game we got a break into some players and it’s the last one we will get this season apart from the next international break.
“Otherwise It will be a full slog until the end of the season, but the players will be prepared for it. I always prepare my teams to be be in the mix at the start of March and the idea then is make sure we have momentum going into April. April has gone from a comfortable-looking month to a very busy one with all the extra fixtures we now have.
