Blues boss Joe Royle has praised debut-making central defender Gerard Nash. The 17-year-old came on as a late sub in the thrashing of Burnley last night.
Rampant Town demolished Burnley 6-1 with a rip-roaring display as they climbed to seventh. A stunning first half saw the Blues go in 5-0 at the break. The second half was always going to be an anti-climax with Shefki Kuqi s sixth the only addition while Burnley s Delroy Facey grabbed a consolation.
Danny Rowe netted twice and Jordan Roberts once as Town’s table-topping U23s beat Colchester 3-1 at their Florence Park training ground this afternoon, Chris Forino pulling back a late consolation for the U’s.
Ben Folami scored twice and Jordan Roberts and Jack Lankester once each as Town’s U23s beat Coventry 4-1 at Portman Road to retain top spot in the Professional Development League Two South table.
