Although the former Swansea boss might have only arrived at London Road last month, the Posh are riding a major wave of momentum and suddenly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Last seen over the weekend putting in another dominant display as they cruised their way to an empathic 3-0 victory at home against title dreamers Stockport, the Cambridgeshire-based outfit will be confident of collecting another heavyweight League One scalp.
"It was a situation that came to us about six weeks ago, just after the Wigan game, when he felt he wanted to go back home," Ferguson told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire. "He wants to continue his education. All we've done is give him time to make a decision, we've been very patient with him, and now he's decided that's the avenue he wants to go down."
However, although some might have wondered if the Terriers would show any signs of a hangover when opening proceedings last month, Lee Grant's men have enjoyed an eye-catching opening flurry. Getting their EFL Trophy adventure underway with a thumping performance earlier in the week as they secured a frantic 6-2 victory against Newcastle's U21s, the Yorkshire-based outfit should find the mood in their camp at a recent high.
