Posh play Reading at the Weston Homes Stadium on Monday (7.45pm) before travelling to Rotherham United on New Year’s Day (3pm) and then it’s a daunting trip to second-placed Lincoln City on Sunday January 4 (noon).
It’s inconceivable Posh will play the same team in three matches that take place in seven days so Williams must juggle his squad carefully, starting with the team I would pick for the game with a Reading team who have also hit a bit of form.
It’s in the usual 4-2-3-1 formation.

Arguably the star man in the last two Posh matches and he looks full of running. He should be fresher than most given the fewer minutes he has played over the season. Photo: DAVID LOWNDES

Tom Lees will need a breather and this could be the game to leave him out. Okagbue can move across the back four slightly and play as the right centre-back. Photo: DAVID LOWNDES
