Darren Ferguson: Peterborough Must Focus on Each Game as They Eye the Championship

Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson expressed his discomfort after his team secured a spot in the League One play-offs with a 4-1 victory over Fleetwood Town. The win put Peterborough at 80 points for the season, three points behind Bolton Wanderers and six adrift of Derby County, with a game in hand on both.

Ferguson acknowledged that the team’s start to the game was less than ideal, with Peterborough conceding an early goal and goalkeeper Jed Steer needing to make two penalty saves to keep the team in the game. Despite the shaky start, Peterborough eventually found their stride and scored four goals to secure the win.

The manager emphasized the importance of focusing on each game and securing results, especially as the season reaches its most critical stages. He highlighted the need for his team to stay focused on doing the basics right and not getting complacent, even in games where they hold a significant lead.

Looking ahead, Peterborough’s next game is against Bristol Rovers, while rivals Cambridge United face Derby and Bolton takes on Port Vale. With the play-offs secured, Ferguson is keen to see how far his team can go and is hopeful for a strong finish to the season.
