Peterborough to name 'completely different' side ahead of Bolton clash

Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson says he will name a “completely different team” against Cheltenham on Tuesday night.

Posh could move level on points with Wanderers if they come out on top against the Robins. Ian Evatt’s men conclude the regular season with a trip to the Weston Homes Stadium this weekend.

Ferguson’s side ran out 2-0 winners at Bristol Rovers over the weekend after goals from Joel Randall and Ricky Jade-Jones either side of half time.

However, they have played seven games in a hectic 22-day period and the manager admits he needs to get some rest into his key men.

He told Peterborough Telegraph: "Tuesday will be a completely different team. I will be freshening the whole team up because that will be the only opportunity I have got to do it.

"We have had a lot of games, I was not going to risk anyone today but had to be ready to take advantage if Derby had slipped up.

"They have done their job though and we have got today out of the way and done our job to get the home leg of the semi-final second.

“Now I can rest all of the players that have been playing regularly at Cheltenham. It will be a completely different team.”

Posh have won five out of their last six matches in all competitions, keeping a couple of clean sheets in the process.

Ferguson is eager to keep things tight at the back and believes it could be the different as they battle for promotion.

He added: “I enjoyed the performance a lot, I was really pleased with the players. We put a lot of work into the game including out of possession, being more compact and more solid.

“The players did it to a tee, we were really well organised. If we get clean sheets, we are going to get promoted – it is as simple as that.

“We had a good meeting on Friday where we said we need to stop giving up so many chances and be more connected as a team. We were outstanding as a team in that respect today.

“They had one shot I can remember, a couple of things but no clear-cut chances. After the first 10 minutes, we got control and some of our football was outstanding.”
