Kayden Jackson netted his first goal of pre-season as Town’s U23s - also featuring Flynn Downes, Myles Kenlock and Brett McGavin - fell to a 3-1 friendly defeat at Chelmsford City.
The Clarets went ahead in the sixth minute via former Norwich frontman and one-time Blues trialist Simeon Jackson.
Town’s Jackson levelled in the 12th minute, beating former Blues academy keeper Jacob Marsden.
But ex-Town U18s striker and 2005 FA Youth Cup winner Charlie Sheringham put the Essex side in front for a second time just before the break and Adebola Oluwo increased the home team’s lead in the 64th minute.

Town’s U17s finished seventh at the Voskescup tournament which was hosted by Belgian club SC Lokeren this weekend. Midfielder Byron Lawrence, who made his senior debut on the final day of the 2011/12 campaign, top scored for the Blues with four goals.
After ending Saturday joint-second in their group having been unbeaten after one win and two draws, the young Blues completed their group games with a 1-1 draw with AA Gent this morning, Lawrence scoring from the penalty spot.
They needed to beat eventual winners K Sint Truidense to reach the final but lost 2-1 - Lawrence again netting - and ended up fourth in their group of five.

Tom Winter (pictured) scored twice as Town’s U18s beat Brentford 2-0 at their Jersey Road training ground this morning.
The striker, who is one of the five second-year scholars to have been offered a one-year professional contract, put the Blues in front from the penalty spot in the 10th minute after Republic of Ireland U16 international Cemal Ramadan had been brought down by the keeper.
Prior to the goal, the Blues had already threatened to go in front on a couple of occasions, central defender Omar Sowunmi having a chance with a close range header and then Winter chipping a shot just wide of the far post having been put through by Cory Galvin
