Posh Under 21s will be looking to recapture that winning feeling when they take on Barnsley on Friday afternoon (1pm).
Peterborough United Under 21s are back in action on Friday afternoon, as Barnsley travel south in the Professional Development League.
Our Under 21s will be looking to build on the foundations from last time out, where Crewe Alexandra took the points back to CW5.
Oliver Armstrong’s strike kept our youngsters at bay in a match that otherwise looked to be in the balance.
Barnsley meanwhile head into the clash on the back of a 4-0 thumping by Burnley, extending the Tykes’ winless run to ten matches in all competitions.
TEAM NEWS
Ollie Rose is out on loan with Scunthorpe United, while Pemi Aderoju has picked up an injury whilst out on loan which will keep him sidelined for two weeks. Max Beech is nearing full fitness, but defender Milan Kovaci is out long-term.
THE OPPOSITION
Barnsley sit eighth in the North section having picked up 16 points from 19 league matches. Tom Harban’s side have seen three victories, seven draws and nine defeats over the course of the campaign, sitting four points from the foot of the table – who all boast games to spare.
FROM THE MANAGER

We look forward to the run of fixtures, and for the Under 18s, they’re coming in on the back of a good result, so we look to bring that into Barnsley,” Lead Professional Development Phase (Under 21s) Coach Ryan Semple said.
