Job well done with a nice win away at Aston Villa - seems Greenwood scored a cracking free kick. Best part though is Forshaw played 84 minutes. It would be good to see him get some first team tine before next season.

Champions Of U23 Premier League 2 at first attempt,,, Orta has much to answer for
At least 14 of the 19 players listed in the U23 squad have arrived at the club SINCE Bielsa arrived as head coach. Before Bielsa arrived, the number of players who have succeeded in either senior or supporting squads can be numbered (literally), on the fingers of one hand.
I'm absolutely delighted at the succes of the U23s, but please don't delude yourselves that it's Orta who has been the architect of that success, he wouldn't know how.
As a postscript (bearing in mind Cherrypies comment), it would be even more encouraging to see members of that very successful Academy squad given the opportunity to show their senior squad potential (Bielsa etc please take note).
BTW, Geldardt, unknown? Wigan may not be Barca but they aren't Forest Green either! 😉
Won the league after acclimatising at a canter, 2 games to go, nearest is Stoke, who have 2 games in hand but trail by 15pts. Next season in with the "big fish"....passing 2 from Southampton, Leicester, Wet Spam who are in Div 1 relegation battle
FFS, something to celebrate but you have to turn every thread into your boring/stifling negative last word ****e. Winning, the U23' have now climbed 2 divisions on the trot and will be playing at a more ready level next season... the club is moving on despite your constant negativity, but carry on....
