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.

Ipswich Town 0-3 Charlton Athletic - Match Report
Town suffered their biggest home Championship loss since April 2018 as newly promoted Charlton Athletic netted three times in the second half to shock the Blues 3-0. The home side had been the better side in the first half, albeit with the visitors having two of the period’s three best chances, but the Blues fell apart in the second after Sonny Carey had given the Addicks the lead on 52 with Macaulay Gillesphey and Miles Leaburn adding goals on 55 and 64 to inflict the Town’s first Portman Road defeat of the season and their biggest Championship loss on their own turf since the 4-0 loss to Aston Villa more than seven years ago.
