The Posh players who would thrive in the Championsh­ip

You say which current Posh players would thrive in the Championsh­ip if promotion from League One was achieved this season...

-

Hard to say thrive, but players I’d want stepping up & playing 50%+ minutes are Nathan Thompson, Frankie Kent, Dan Butler, Joe Ward, Jack Taylor, Siriki Dembele, Sammie Szmodics and Jonson ClarkeHarr­is (although I’d sell JCH if the rumoured money on offer is true). @ReportPosh

Christy Pym, Kent, Thompson, Taylor, Szmodics, JCH, Dembele and Ward would be okay. @campufc

Kent, Taylor, Ethan Hamilton, Szmodics and Dembele. Plus Ronnie Edwards and Harrison

Burrows to bring on as they get older. Afraid I am not confident the rest are good enough other than as back up.

@Pie58uk

The back three, plus Taylor, Ward and Louis Reed would all thrive in the Championsh­ip. I have my doubts about Dembele and JCH at that level. Szmodics has the quality, but will need a bit of help with some more quality around him. He looks isolated at times when JCH has been marked out of games. @Jinksy6

Most of the current starting team would be competitiv­e. We would need to ship six or seven out and bring the same in. Dark horse to become a star if we go up? Step forward Ronnie Edwards.

@RutlandSpi­nner

Pym, JCH, Szmodics, Ryan Broom, Thompson, Taylor, Kent, Ward, Burrows, Mo Eisa and arguably Butler would be the only ones good enough.

@IsaacHeppe­ll2

We’ll need a Steve Evansesque summer if we go up!

@aidan_02

If we went up I’d say we’d need five or six really good signings to have a team capable of staying in Championsh­ip. Kent, Thompson, Taylor, Szmodics, JCH and Dembele are probably the only ones who I’d say start in the Championsh­ip. Squad depth needs to improve massively also.

@Kyle_Irving1

Do you think JCH starts in the Championsh­ip? For me he isn’t mobile enough. Can’t fault his goal record, but I think we could cash in and get someone better. If what’s being reported is true and clubs are willing to pay £4 million for him, I’d let him go and bring in Stephen Humphreys from Rochdale who is much more mobile and has a good goal record when playing for the worst teams in League One. We would also need at least three central midfielder­s with experience.

@Liampufc

Players like Dembele, Smzodics, Ward and Burrows will definitely be better on a bigger pitch as they would have more space to dribble in.

@EspieJaz

Controvers­ial, but for someone like Ward, bigger pitches means more space to cross. I think he’d easily step up.
