That's not just the opinion of the London Road Road faithful, but a view taken by opponents and the national media.

Posh delivered a stunning performance in a 2-1 win at Walsall on Saturday to move within a point of the League One play-off places.

Their displays drew great praise from everyone present, including Walsall manager Jimmy Mullen, Sky TV commentators and representatives of Championship clubs.

Posh manager Darren Ferguson said: "We are certainly on a roll and it's great to hear so many people praise the way we are playing.

"I'm aware of what people are saying about us and it can only do us good. I spoke to Cardiff manager David Jones over the weekend as he was at the game and he was very complimentary.

"It was a very good display at Walsall, spoilt only by the failure to take all our chances, but that is only a small criticism. Once we were through the first 15 minutes we were exceptional, creating numerous chances, but also staying very solid at the back which was very important."

Ferguson was also boosted by the return of three senior players after injury. Striker Aaron Mclean, midfielder Dean Keates, who received a standing ovation from Walsall fans when he appeared in the second-half at his old club, and central defender Shane Blackett were all on the substitutes' bench at the Bescot Stadium.

The Posh boss accepts he now has some tough selection problems ahead of this Saturday's trip to Carlisle. Mclean, Keates, Blackett and possibly winger Sergio Torres may all have a run out in the reserve team clash with Watford at London Road on Wednesday.

Central defenders Craig Morgan and Gaby Zakuani will be available for the Carlisle trip providing they return from international duty unscathed, but weekend deputies Charlie Lee and Kieran Charnock both performed well at Walsall.

Ferguson added: "I certainly have a few decisions to make on Saturday, but it's a good problem to have. Obviously I will have to see how the lads come out of the reserve team match, but it was great to have three senior players on the bench.

"They will all play against Watford, but they're not certain to return at Carlisle."

Winger Chris Whelpdale limped out of the win at Walsall with an ankle injury which will be assessed today (Monday).
