Taylor Makes Penultimate Posh Appearance - Ipswich Town News

On-loan striker Paul Taylor played the full 90 minutes as 10-man Peterborough United lost 1-0 at Colchester on Saturday. The 26-year-old was making the seventh start of his spell back with Posh and played a whole game for the third time.

Taylor rejoined his old club in order to get matches under his belt following his long absence due to a foot injury with Peterborough striker Lee Tomlin missing for a month with an ankle problem.

Tomlin returned to the Posh attack alongside Taylor at the Weston Homes Community Stadium but faces a three-match ban having been red-carded in the 54th minute for catching Colchester midfielder Craig Eastmond with an arm.

Taylor will complete his loan spell next week when Posh — who are down to third in League One — face leaders Leyton Orient at London Road.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old left-back David October played the full 90 minutes for Histon as the Stutes beat Stockport County 2-1 at the Glassworld Stadium on Saturday.

Elsewhere, academy first-year scholar Cemal Ramadan was an unused sub as the Republic of Ireland U17s beat hosts Armenia 2-0 in the second game of their UEFA U17 qualifying mini-tournament in Yerevan.

The Irish youngsters will now finish at worst second in the group — the top two qualify for the next phase — and face leaders England on Tuesday.
