Certainly two of the three changes I’m suggesting for Tuesday’s League One trip to Port Vale cover that scenario. The third change is more a matter of personal preference rather than a slight on the player I’m omitting.
My team is still playing a 4-2-1-3 formation.
1. FYNN TALLEY
It's time to see what Talley can do in goal. Regular starter Nicholas Bilokapic does not exude confidence right now. It seems only a matter of time before he gives a goal away with a careless pass. Talley has done well whenever he's been seen lately in the senior side or the under 21s. Photo: Joe Dent
2. PETER KIOSO
The captain is out on his own as a right-back in the Posh squad. His main rivals for the spot are either centre-backs or kids. Photo: David Lowndes
3. ZAK STURGE
Teams have been trying to expose the weakness of Harrison Burrows at left-back in a way they wouldn't be able to do with Sturge who is a more natural defender. His height would also come in useful, while Sturge and Mason-Clark could be an explosive partnership on the left. Photo: Joe Dent
4. JOSH KNIGHT
The centre-back has his flaws, but Posh need his commitment and aggression in defence and his ability to carry the ball forward out of defence. Photo: David Lowndes
