Fergie borrowed his father’s hair dryer and it worked wonders as Peterborough United went from pub team to ‘Poshelona’ and a substitute nominated for man of the match

Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson earned plenty of praise for sparking a second-half turnaround at Gillingham last night (February 16).

As fan Eamonn Duff stated after the 3-1 League One win at Priestfield: ‘Son borrows dad’s hair dryer. It works.’ Other fans’ comments after last night’s win as told to @PTAlanSwann on Twitter...

Could easily have lost. Ferguson wrong then dead right with Dembele and tactics. MOM JCH.

Woeful first half. Impressive second half. MOM Beevers who I thought was immense. Hope Eisa is not made a scapegoat as all 10 outfield players were poor in the first half. Still should have started with Dembele.

@JeffNewson

Another win from a losing position. MOM Dembele/Ward.
