Peterborough United’s players delivered an error-strewn display as they were held to a 1-1 League One draw with Leyton Orient at the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday.
Yes, Posh did change formations against Leyton Orient by playing the diamond but that was a decision that did not bear fruit.
Yet, there is a formation that Posh have used to great effect from the start this season and that is the three at the back, which the Peterborough Telegraph believes gets the best out of young loanees Jadel Katongo and Zak Sturge.
Therefore, the PT suggests a switch to the 3-4-1-2 when Posh face goalless Cheltenham Town on Tuesday.

An impressive display on Saturday, probably Posh's best attacking player with his driving runs. Well worthy of keeping his place. Photo: Joe Dent
An accomplished wing back. David Ajiboye played well off the bench against Leyton Orient but looks to be out with a dead leg for this one. Photo: Joe Dent
One of if not the best Posh performer this season, even adding goals to his game too which was a revelation I did not see coming last season. Photo: Joe Dent
A surprise to see him start at left-back when there is now a natural one in the building. He had a couple of good moments including the corner from which Posh scored. He also teed up Joel Randall for a chance that was spurned, but there were also lots of backwards passes and inaccurate ones - 6. Photo: a
