POSH believe they can beat anyone in League One after toppling title favourites Leeds United at London Road on Saturday.
Jubilant manager Darren Ferguson enjoyed his best day in management after goals from George Boyd and Craig Mackail-Smith secured a 2-0 win in front of a crowd in excess of 13,000.

But, while he was still savouring the result and the confidence it will bring to his players, Ferguson insisted it was business as usual today.

Ferguson said: "It was a great day for the club and the city to beat a team like Leeds and we will gain tremendous self-belief from the result.

"It was a fantastic all-round display. We were solid and kept our concentration superbly at the back while our attacking play was outstanding at times.

"But it's gone now. We are still only ninth when I wanted to be in a play-off position at this stage and we have two big games that I want to win this week."

Posh host League Two high-fliers Dagenham & Redbridge in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tomorrow before travelling to League One promotion contenders Walsall on Saturday.

Posh are now unbeaten in five League matches.

Midfielder Paul Coutts could be out of action for two weeks after injuring an ankle towards the end of Saturday's match.

On-loan central defender Gaby Zakuani left for international duty with DR Congo this morning.

Ferguson has dismissed reports in a Sunday newspaper linking him with the manager's job at QPR.

PUFC are not as good as they and the fans think they are. IMO they're an average Div 1 side at best and their current league position is about right for the club. If they go up next May they will seriously struggle next season just like Donny and Forrest are this season. Catch 22 though. Don't go up = Sale of best players. Go up = Too small to attract the quality players needed to stay up.

We CAN beat anyone on our day and we have nothing to fear in this league. Why some people have to be so negative all the time is beyond me!!

I didn't think POSH would beat Leeds on Saturday so was very pleasantly surprised, I think if POSH can beat Leeds away then I don't think they'll struggle too much in the Championship. That said, I don't think not going up this season would be a bad thing, it'd give a good squad time to bed in and prepare for the season after that will be as hard as this one will be.
Top 5 finish would be a fantastic result at the end of the season.
