Peterborough United's Under 18s suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Millwall on the opening day of the Professional Development League season. With two under 15s in the starting line-up, the Posh were competitive throughout, but were ultimately undone by a dubious goal via a deflection and a sloppy defensive mistake for the second. Interim Lead Under 18s Coach Hugh Alban-Jones took positives from aspect of their display, but admitted they need to be more clinical in front of goal.
