Posh played okay in defeat at leaders Ipswich Town last weekend, but there is still reason to make six changes (in our opinion) in an attempt to end a poor run of form and thus secure a play-off place for another week at least.
The PT is sticking with three centre-backs, but tweaking the set-up further forward so it’s a 3-4-2-1 formation.

He looked a threat at right wing-back last weekend and Posh need to get him on the ball in advanced positions as often as possible. Photo: Joe Dent

Change 4. At home, with three centre-backs on the pitch, the ability of Burrows going forward trumps the better defensive skills of Dan Butler. Photo: Joe Dent
7. JEANDO FUCHS
Change 5: Strangely Hector Kyprianou would be more useful in this game than the one he started last Saturday, purely based on the amount of possession Posh are likely to have. But Posh will still need to win the ball to take control of it and Fuchs is the best option for that role. Photo: Joe Dent:
