Under 21 Premier League Cup - Round 2

[Spoonz Red E]

Another good, disciplined, team performance. Peterborough were a much tougher proposition than Southend.

Ollie's goal was a cheeky back-heel across the goal and in.

We should have had more and hit the woodwork twice. Tom had a few chances but not as sharp yet as last season. Couldn't argue with the sending off (second yellow). Two deliberate fouls from the same player to halt promising attacks from us.

Would have liked a second goal to steady the nerves but we held out OK with the ball mostly in their half the last 20 minutes.

Shame the first team can't do that.

Good team performance. Seven changes to last time. Missed the quality of the over age players (as well as Jamie Reid and JMT). Tom McCready seemed to go off injured in the first half. Had a lot of chances we couldn't put away. As already said, they were a much better side than Southend. Other than corners and free kicks they didn't create many clear cut chances. Josh Read had his hands full with their big striker, but he held his ground (picked up a yellow in the process). Would like to know how he is getting on with Turo.

Was impressed with Mustafa Rehemi, very lively. Jamie Harknes was a new name, did OK.

So on to the next round.

Think you will find that it is Jamie REID, who is at Truro, along with Connor Riley-Lowe. Someone recently posted an update on our players who are out on loan, but think it is "hidden away" under another thread title, so could take a bit of finding.

An away tie in the South-East would be appreciated, give the rest of us a chance to see them in action. :S
