They smashed Wigan Athletic 6-1 at home last Saturday before a rearguard action delivered a hard-fought 2-1 win at Mansfield Town on Tuesday night.
Convention would suggest naming the same starting line-up for a third straight game when Posh travel to Bradford City on Saturday, but the PT believes fresh legs are needed after a gruelling midweek game at the One Call Stadium, especially as there’s another away game at Barnsley to follow on Tuesday February 17.
We are assuming Matt Garbett won’t be fit enough to play, so here’s our suggested starting side in the usual 4-2-3-1 formation...

10. CIAN HAYES
Yes, I'm giving Kyrell Lisbie a rest. He could run amok against Barnsley's defence in the next outing. It's controversial and a risk, but he looked jaded at Mansfield. He would be an outstanding substitute in any situation. Hayes had a hand in both Posh goals at Mansfield so deserves another start. Photo: DAVID LOWNDES
