Town’s U21s were beaten 4-1 to Bristol City at Ashton Gate earlier this afternoon having been reduced to 10 men.
Skipper Harry Barbrook (pictured) gave the Blues the lead in the fifth minute but Sebastian Palmer-Houlden hit back for the home side with his first of the afternoon on 19.
Palmer-Houlden’s second gave the Robins the lead six minutes after the restart, before Town were reduced to 10 men in the 63rd minute when Barbrook was shown a second yellow card and then a red for a late tackle on Harry Leeson.
