To get the best out of Manchester City teenager Jadel Katongo and young Chelsea defender Zak Sturge, a change of formation might be required for the League One visit of Leyton Orient on Saturday.
The PT has gone for a repeat of the 3-4-1-2 formation seen to reasonable effect in Tuesday's EFL Trophy win against Cambridge United.
We believe it gets the best 11 players on the pitch from the start and, played properly, it needn’t be seen as negative formation against a team Posh would expect to beat at home.
5. PETER KIOSO
Kioso looks a natural wing-back to me. He has the speed and the desire to motor up and down the right flank for 90 minutes. He's decent when defending and going forward. His defensive work gives him the edge over the improving David Ajiboye. Photo: Joe Dent
6. ZAK STURGE
It's going to be exciting to watch this left wing-back develop this season. He is a powerful, pacy athlete who takes up great attacking positions without appearing to neglect his defensive duties.Harrison Burrows would be a better wing-back than left-back, but Sturge should be the main man on the left.

7. HECTOR KYPRIANOU
A shoo-in selection in midfield and he can show his former club what they let go 16 month ago. Needs to stop picking up daft cautions though. Photo: Joe Dent
8. ARCHIE COLLINS
He's suffered a bit of a lull since a very promising start in midfield, but he remains ahead of Ryan De Havilland and Harrison Burrows in the pecking order to be Kyprianou's partner. Photo: Joe Dent
