Posh have only won three second-tier games in a row on two previous occasions in the club’s history.
The 1992-93 side - the first team to play at this level - beat Brentford away (1-0), and Grimsby (1-0) and Birmingham City (2-1) at home in successive matches in the second half of that season.
Tony Philliskirk was the matchwinner against Brentford, Tony Adcock claimed the only goal against Grimsby, and a Birmingham defender and Bobby Barnes completed the hat-trick of wins against the Blues.
