I’ve therefore ditched the three centre-back formation which hasn’t helped Posh defensively anyway (0-6 in the last two Championship matches) for a midfield diamond system which manager Grant McCann at least knows well from his playing days.
A more positive approach might just take a Bournemouth side, who haven’t been playing particularly well anyway. by surprise. If Posh can at least take the lead who knows what will happen?
I’m assuming goalkeeper Steven Benda and centre-back Frankie Kent have recovered from illness and that Jack Taylor is fit enough to start.
5. FRANKIE KENT
Hopefully the in-form centre-back has recovered from his vital infection and can play, although Mark Beevers did okay in his place at Huddersfield last time out.
6. REECE BROWN
You need a passer of the ball at the base of the diamond so Brown plays ahead of Oliver Norburn.
7. JEANDO FUCHS
You have to work hard in the wider positions in a midfield diamond and Fuchs has shown he'll do that. He's on the right of the diamond for me.
