Posh do have the bottom four to play, but they also have two of the top six to come so it will be a tough ask
But not an impossible one. Posh have even won eight in a row under current boss Darren Ferguson, between February 13 and March 11 in the 2007-08 promotion campaign in League Two.
Posh were in complete control after goals either side of half-time from Aaron Mclean and George Boyd, but they almost threw a win away in a madcap finale. Jack Lester pulled a goal back in the 87th minute and then left-back Tom Williams gave away a 90th-minute penalty for which he was sent off. Williams took an age to leave the field which unsettled penalty taker Peter Leven and Posh ‘keeper Joe Lewis took advantage to make a brilliant save.
1-0 v Barnet (home)
Striker Liam Hatch was a surprise January signing from Barnet by Posh, but the first of two league goals he scored for the club was a key one. Hatch came on a sub to score the only goal of the game against his old club 17 minutes from time. It later transpired Posh had ‘forgotten’ a gentleman’s agreement not to play Hatch in the fixture!
3-0 v Macclesfield (away)
Second-half goals from Boyd, Chris Whelpdale and Aaron Mclean secured a routine win.
