The youngsters run continues coming from 2-0 down to score 4 goals in 13 mins to lead 4-2 at the break, Villa pulled 1 back second half but 7 on the bounce now ,well done to all.

Pity we hadn't started our run earlier - Leeds look uncatchable now so it is probably the lottery of the playoffs for us. I know very little about U23 football. If we do get promoted how much more high quality is division 1 than division 2 of PL2? Can anyone who has watched the U23s since they were formed, confirm how this U23 squad relates to previous squads we have had? I'm assuming that this is by far our best U23 squad since the U23 leagues were set up? |

Does look like Leeds are walking it ,10 points clear but the way our lads are going they it is looking good and with players missing due to being in team in 1st.squad. |

Yes, I assume that if Forrester and Coates had played last night, Villa would have been unlikely to have scored 3 goals. |

I'm assuming that this is by far our best U23 squad since the U23 leagues were set up? It's good, but the one we had a few seasons ago with Collins, Souttar, Campbell, Bursik, Edwards, Tymon, Dunwoody, Sorensen, Verlinden in it, not always at the same time because of loans though, was even better. Just look at the amount of players in our current team/squad, and not just players finding their feet, but the actual backbone of the team and for years to come. The current players will probably need another year of playing academy, with the odd outing if there's an injury crisis or games in the cups. It will do them no harm at all. Some will also go out on loan. |

A great result and comeback from 2 down, especially as arguably our 4 best players were absent for one reason or another. Great team spirit, which can only bode well for the future.

Saying we were misssing a player who doesn't normally feature for this particular team is like saying we were also missing Colins, Campbell, Tymon, and Souttar, all of whom are young but have graduated to the first team group as Bursik also has.. |

If that was the criteria you would have to say that Shawcross not to mention Wimmer, Lindsay, Bauer, Tymon, Thompson and more were also missing in action yesterday. You do get players from the first team come on down to get match practice, but they are not part of the Academy group. |
