His rivals for the prize are Blackpool striker Jerry Yates, Gillingham forward Vaidane Oliver and Sunderland defender Luke O’Nien.

Two former Posh bosses have been nominated for the March manager-of-the-month prize. Grant McCann (Hull) and Steve Evans (Gillingham) are up against Simon Grayson (Fleetwood) and Lee Johnson (Sunderland).

Posh completed a clean sweep of the February League One awards through Jonson Clarke-Harris, Darren Ferguson and Jack Taylor. Taylor won the best goal prize.

The winners will be announced on Friday (April 9)
