Taylor Hits Post as Posh Win Again - Ipswich Town News
On-loan striker Paul Taylor got another 62 minutes under his belt as Peterborough United beat Shrewsbury 1-0 at London Road.
The Blues frontman, who is back with his former club until November 2nd, came close to his first goal of the season early on when he struck the post.
His replacement just after the hour mark, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing netted the game’s winner soon after taking over.
Taylor has now made five starts during his loan spell, although only completed the full 90 minutes in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy tie against Brentford.
Peterborough, who have won six on the trot in League One and sit second, are next in action on Tuesday when they face Sheffield United, again at London Road.
Lee Tomlin, who Taylor was brought in to replace while he was out with ankle ligament damage, could be back in the squad for that game.
Meanwhile, left-back David October made his debut for his loan club Histon as the Skrill Conference North side drew 1-1 away at Guiseley.
