Posh won six and drew one of seven games in the month to soar to the top of the table. Ferguson beat Lee Bowyer (Charlton), John Coleman (Accrington) and Kenny Jackett (Portsmouth) to the prize.

Ferguson said: “It’s a team of the month award rather than a manager of the month award. My staff have been superb in what has been a very challenging month and the players have been a credit to themselves and to the club with how they have conducted themselves.”
