Peterborough United need fresh faces and formation to remove the handbrake against Barnsley

Peterborough United must freshen things up as they face fellow strugglers Barnsley in what promises to be a crucial match at the foot of the table on Saturday (November 27).

Posh were simply brushed aside by a Blackburn team who barely had to break sweat on Wednesday night (November 24) as consigned Posh to a third straight defeat.

Home has been a happier hunting ground though and Posh need to shake things up to keep it that way by going back to the 4-2-3-1 formation, which caused so many problems for the impressive Fulham.

The PT also believes that it is time for some fresh faces to come into the side as Posh should seek to play the game on the front foot in order to get back to winning ways against a side also struggling for confidence.
