A Peterborough United team to take on Huddersfield without a couple of big name players, but with a striker with a point to prove

This management lark is difficult and I’m only doing it for a bit of fun. Fair play to Darren Ferguson who picks his 500th Peterborough United team tonight when Huddersfield Town visit the Weston Homes Stadium for a Championship fixture.

I’m sticking with three centre backs, but changing the personnel in a 3-4-1-2 formation.

5. JOE WARD

Idris Kanu would be better employed as an impact sub so Ward gets another chance at right wing-back. He's not playing well, but his greater experience in the role wins the day for him. He has a bigger man to hit in the middle in my team for this game.

6. HARRISON BURROWS

As long as the teenager isn't too scarred by his first-half substitution at the weekend he should get another chance at left wing-back. He won't have anyone with Ethan Laird's quality to worry about defensively in this game and he's a better bet than Dan Butler to get the ball onto the head of Clarke-Harris.
