Janneh again. He could have had 4 this half. He has had a good game but seems to go for power rather than accuracy. Britton looks totally ineffective since he came on which will probably mean that he scores in a minute

You can see why Pearson called Janneh raw.

Just like watching the first team, largely clueless in front of goal.

Shows that the club could do with a speacialist coach for the strikers. So much faffing about. Peterborough very direct, in a good way.

First game where we have struggled to score goals, you are going to get inconsistent performances at this level. Janneh has a strikers instinct in his movement and awareness, just needed to be a bit calmer in front of goal today, but all strikers have days like that.

Despite the scoreline we should really have got something out of this game with the number of second half chances but this is Ashton Gate I suppose

once again, it's worth noting how much younger our U23's are compared to their opposite numbers, I think Peterborough's youngest player was nineteen, we had 5 players playing who would qualify for the U18's squad. Their overage player Gwamfi (26) certainly outshone ours Palmer (24), but then he was up against James Taylor who is an U18's player.

Well beaten today. City had enough chances to have drawn or even won the game but a combination of good Posh blocks and poor finishing, primarily from Janneh and Palmer ensured that wouldn't happen. KC was KC, beautiful touches and exasperating play in equal measure. So laid back at times you'd think he was playing football with his mates on a carribean beach. I'm not sure it didn't run off on Dylan Kadji another in the KC mode. Plenty of good running by Bell and Janneh, and Williams is a defender in the making but Benarous was City's best player.

Palmer has looked at his  lackadaisical worst. today.

And yet some still bang the “give him a chance” drum.

This just sums him up, no consistency of performance & a player who cost £3.5m failing to make any impact in an U23 game.

Wells has his critics but when he got a game at this level, he scored 4, spot the difference..

I thought Taylor improved as the game went on. Kadji looked suspect in the first half but improved second half. It maybe harsh to judge Britton on part of a game but he really looked lacking.  Maybe the extra fitness work left him jaded but would be amazed if he got anywhere near the first team on that showing. The standard of crosses was on a par with the first team and Pearson and Bell probably need games on loan soon.
