Peterborough United’s defensive flexibility will be as important as the club’s famed attacking prowess in the Championship
The 30 year-old defender has been impressed with the quality of his side’s defensive work this summer when he’s been deployed as a centre-back and a right back.
“We are a very flexible side defensively,” Thompson stated. “We can flit between two systems very quickly and that caught a few teams out last season. Hopefully that will be the same again in the Championship.
