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.
9. KWAME POKU
It's time to ditch the Joel Randall experiment at 10 and play someone more likely to score or create in the role. Poku is the man, a player capable of driving into the penalty area and who is happy to turn onto either foot. Burrows should be the new back-up for this key position. Photo: David Lowndes
10. EPHRON MASON-CLARK
The captain and the former captain showed promise together on Tuesday, albeit against a poor Cambridge side. It's worth persevering with a partnership of two likely goalscorers down the middle. Photo: David Lowndes

If he's here he should start. He was missed in the last League One game.There can be no question marks about his attitude despite recent disappointments. Photo: Joe Dent
12. THE SUBS
