Strong Peterborough United Under 21 side beaten by Fleetwood Town
A strong starting line-up including first-team regulars Danny Ormerod, Chris Conn-Clarke, James Dornelly, Harrison Jones, Evan Weir and Ethan Williams lost 1-0 to Fleetwood Town in a Professional Development Under 21 League game at the Weston Homes Stadium on Tuesday.
The visitors won the match with a goal midway through the first-half from Noah Sawkins.
Conn-Clarke and Ormerod missed decent heading chances, while the former also struck the crossbar from an acute angle. Fleetwood also hit the woodwork and forced one fine save from Posh goalkeeper Collin Andeng Ndi.
Williams and Ejior Abbey missed great chances to equalise in the final quarter before a triallist was denied a quality individual goal by a fine save.
Posh, who are now three games without a win, are next in Development League under action on Friday, October 9 against Nottingham Forest, also at the Weston Homes Stadium (7pm kick off).
Posh: Collin Andeng Ndi, James Dornelly (sub Harry BUshell, 46 mins), Evan Weir, Noah Freeman, Luca Christoudias (sub Benji McWilliams-Marcan, 62 mins), Joe Andrews (sub Fabian Claxton, 60 mins), Harrison Jones, Ejiro Abbey, Ethan Williams (sub Kurtis Simmons, 72 mins), Danny Ormerod (sub trialist, 60 mins), Chris Conn-Clarke.
