What is the format for PL2
There will be only one division made up of clubs with Category One Academies. At present there are 26 such clubs. Teams: Arsenal, Man Utd, Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, Blackburn Rovers, , Newcastle United, Brighton, Norwich, Chelsea, Nott'm Forest, Crystal Palace, Reading, Derby County, Southampton, Everton, Stoke City, Fulham, Sunderland, Leeds United, Spurs, Leicester City, West Brom, Liverpool, West Ham United, Man City, Wolves.Those teams will be divided into five pots based on performances over the past three seasons. Fixtures will be determined by a draw made according to clubs’ positions in the five seeded pots. There will be 20 Match weeks, with each team playing 20 regular-season matches throughout the season. Teams will play each club in their own seeding pot once, as well as three to five teams in all other pots either home or away. Results (three points for a win and one point for a draw) will generate a table ranking the 26 teams. After the regular season of 20 Match weeks has completed, the top 16 teams will qualify for a single elimination playoff. Teams will be drawn against each other based on their league positions, for example the team finishing first facing the team that finished 16th. These will be one-off elimination matches with the higher-seeded team at home. In addition, the teams finishing the regular season in the top 12 will be invited to take part in the next season’s Premier League International Cup competition.

Up to 5th. Level on points with 3rd placed Brighton with a game in hand

18.50....

Yes, it's looking ok. We're 7th with a game or 2 in hand. It just half way through the season, but we are looking good for the play offs and a place in the International cup.

5 wins on the spin in the league? Anyone watch it last night? Orford sounded like he was at the heart of our best play based on the text commentary?

Nice win, good control of the game. Little lad in the middle was decent. Bit small but hope he becimes our Caicedo ( we can hope ). Orford went off, injured? 

All the under age games postponed because of the death of the young keeper from cancer.

Under 18s also postponed this morning 

Seems like todays game against Stoke isn't happening.
Anyone know why that is?

Assume Potts and Earthy are in the mix too although only Potts making a strong case so far?  Seems to get good reviews at Pompey. But then again, the difference between Championship to Prem is significant.  I suppose Josh Cullen was one that might have been made it? Not necessarily a starter but good enough for the Prem as a squad player?  Looked ok if nothing spectacular for Burnley last season.  Hope one of Orford, Scarles, Potts, Earthy can emerge as good first team players.

Orford and Scarles definitely have a chance of getting into the first team. They are both still only 18.

FA Youth Cup, live now....

Manchester United U21s 1-0 West Ham United U21s

Bugger, 4 straight loses in the league after 5 straight wins. Not sure how we get out of this rut. Its 6 back to back losses including cups. We've also dropped down to 10th in the league, but still only 4 points of 3rd place Europe qualifying.
