Peterborough United's rookie strikers are under no immediate pressure to perform
Peterborough United boss Luke Williams will give rookie strikers David Kamara and Pemi Aderoju all the time they need to prove themselves.
Both players made their full Football League debuts in the past week as understudies to injured centre forward Harry Leonard. They also came on a second-half substitute for each other in League One games at Leyton Orient and at home to Rotherham United.
Kamara (20) made the bigger impact with two goals from the penalty spot in the 5-0 win over ‘The Millers,’ but Aderoju (21) also made a mark with his physicality and workrate.
Williams said: “It’s hard to fully assess their strengths and weaknesses as they haven’t had enough game time yet. You often get false readings from first appearances, but I have been pleased with them both. I have learnt David can handle pressure and that he hits a penalty extremely hard and accurately.
"The jury was still probably out on Harry Leonard and Kyrell Lisbie in October so it’s important players are given time to show their true worth. I have seen David and Pemi improve in training though and that is important.”
