HalfTimePost Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 9 hours ago, fruitvilla said: Is there a big difference in PL1 and PL2? PL1 technically is just the normal Premier League as we all know it. PL2 has two divisions, we're currently in Division 2. Division 1 includes more of the 'big' clubs including Man City (5 games in but they're 1st), Arsenal (2nd), Spurs (5th), Leicester (9th), United (8th), Liverpool (10th), Everton (11th) and Chelsea (bottom, 14th). Also includes other Category 1 Academies such as Crystal Palace, Brighton, Derby, Leeds, West Ham and Blackburn. Division 2 is made up of the other 14 Category 1 Academies but currently the bigger ones in there would be the likes of Ourselves, Fulham and Southampton (currently bottom). Still some good academies but certainly a step up to Division 1. Although I'd anticipate that more of the big U23 players from Division 1 end up on Loan through the league's, for example I can't imagine Chelsea would be bottom of Division 1 without them having 12 U23 players out on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 22, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted September 22, 2021 I've updated the front page as best I can with current information from last night's game. I will re-visit if and when more complete information comes out. I've used timestamps from people who tweeted from the game for the minutes the goals went in so they are approximate but they'll only be out by a few minutes here or there. There are still question marks about the identity of some of the goal scorers. Our OS really doesn't make things easy. Are they ashamed of participating in this competition or something ?

God knows - I've definitely felt us to be lagging behind when it comes to our academy coverage tbh, both Palace and Norwich were much better in terms of live text recently, for example.

useless Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Reddin and Hart have put their goals from last night on their instagrams, two good goals, especially Reddin's. Both have five goals for the season now in all competitions, I imagine they'll be pushing for more game time with the U23s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know the subbed players aswell then just give us a quick shout please. Thanks. I had planned to go but West Midland Trains had other ideas!
