Peterborough United owner Darragh MacAnthony believes his club can gate-crash the League One promotion party.

Posh welcome Wanderers to the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday having won all three of their games since Darren Ferguson was installed as manager for a fourth time at the start of January.

The upturn in form has seen wins at Port Vale and Forest Green, plus a 2-1 home victory against Portsmouth, with top-scorer Jonson Clarke-Harrison scoring three times in his last two starts.

Relegated from the Championship last season, Peterborough won four of their first five games of the season but slumped in September – a run which included a 1-0 defeat at the University of Bolton Stadium.

MacAnthony now believes a late run can be put together to make the play-offs.

“I’m enjoying watching my team again,” MacAnthony said on the Wednesday edition of his ‘Hard Truth’ podcast. “We are showing an identity and resilience, the experienced players have turned up and we are making substitutions that affect a game positively, and we haven’t done that since the first game of the season.

"We have self-belief and we are showing professionalism. Everything I wanted to happen with Darren returning has happened.

"It’s only three games though and it shows how bad we were in the first-half of the season as we are still outside the play-offs despite winning three in a row.

"We have to keep winning though. We need to turn a good run into a promotion-winning run. The likes of Bolton, Barnsley and Wycombe don’t lose many games, but if we can get through February unscathed then the rest of League One should look out.

"Someone always comes late to the promotion party.”

Midfielder Jack Taylor has been passed fit to face Wanderers after a scan on his ankle.

The in-form playmaker was taken off during the Forest Green game as a precaution but will resume training this morning ahead of the game.
