It’s a relentless running approach so squad management will be vital especially for a team now about to embark on three away games in eight days.
It starts with a tough one at high-fliers Huddersfield Town on Tuesday night and I would make changes to the starting XI to freshen things up without abandoning the high-risk football which has accompanied the appointment of Savage as manager.
It’s a 4-2-3-1 formation...
5. JOSH FEENEY
He spent time at Huddersfield last season when he can't have been as good as he has been for Posh. A classy centre-back completes an unchanged back four. Photo: DAVID LOWNDES
6. LIAM KELLY
A key midfielder for Posh as he has the experience the others lack and because he is a very good player. The comparison between him and Archie Collins on Tuesday will be fascinating. Photo: DAVID LOWNDES
7. BRANDON KHELA
A midfielder whose athleticism and running power seems well suited to the current Posh style. I'm bringing him back in place of Harry Ashfield who looked leggy on Saturday after a decent enough shift. Photo: Joe Dent
8. ETHAN WILLIAMS
I'm loath to lose this forwards running power, especially in an away game, so I'm switching him back to the right wing for this game to give Bolu Shofowoke a rest. Photo: David Lowndes
