The Posh Under 18s are back in action on Saturday with a trip to Colchester United (11am).
The Peterborough United Under 18s return to Professional Development League action on Saturday after a weekend without a fixture last week with a trip to Colchester United (11am).
Lead Under 18s Coach Jimmy Unwin will take his side to Florence Park looking to build on the hard-fought 2-1 victory over Millwall at the Bespoke Builds Training Ground last time out.
TEAM NEWS
It will be a similar squad on duty for the game that took on the Lions with in-form striker Bolu Shofowoke looking to build on his impressive start to the season.
Goalkeeper Ben Westcott has been in good form between the sticks and will need to be alert to keep out a Category Two Academy who have produced a host of top players in recent years.
MANAGER QUOTES
"It was a strong performance against Millwall last time out and we will be looking to replicate that display against Colchester United. Colchester are very similar to us, they play young players up an age level and obviously a lot of the younger players are in and around the first team squad. I am sure it will be an even match, they are another side that are looking at player development rather than results so it will be a good test for the boys," Unwin said.
THE OPPOSITION
It has been a tough start for the U's with defeats against Hull City, Crewe Alexandra and Sheffield United, but they were 2-1 winners over Barnsley in early August.
