Posh travel to face Matty Etherington’s Colchester safe in the knowledge that they are already into the knockout round.
Only an unlikely 4-0 would see them knocked off top spot in the group and even that would be a learning opportunity for Posh rather than a disaster.
Therefore the PT suggests that this is a great opportunity to give minutes to fringe players as well as taking a proper look at some exciting young players.

5. JAMES DORNELLY
Played very well in extra time against Salford and showed excellent temperament to tuck in his penalty. Thought highly of so let's see 90 minutes of him. Photo: Joe Dent

6. RYAN DE HAVILLAND
Not sure he's really arrived in a Posh shirt yet, any chance to get him 90 minutes is welcome. Photo: Joe Dent

7. JEANDO FUCHS
Such a welcome return as he offers something different to the midfield options that Posh already have in midfield. Photo: Joe Dent

8. DONAY O'BRIEN-BRADY
Spoken very highly of by the coaching staff so it will be good to see him get a chance to get more than a few minutes. An exciting number ten by all accounts. Photo: Joe Dent
