Going to be tight in both divisions Not entirely sure there is any relegation and I think it is dependant on what category your youth academy is rated as (needs to be Category 1 to play in Prem u18s league) Between this season and last season the only club that are no longer playing in it are Swansea who dropped to Category 2, where as Leeds joined this season after becoming Category 1 Edited 26 April 2021 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this the other day as a Nottingham local and it actually paints Forest in a fairly good light. Essentially they've already got a great academy, and they're upping it to Cat 1 to ensure we don't take their players. It's a bit click baity essentially. But a nice write up of what's on offer from us. Edited 26 April 2021 by AjcW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the stand out club in the Midlands in the last 6 years I suspect we have been taking the best players from the area and in the next 5-10 years should see the benefits of that.

Don't think that's the case at all Ric, at that age it's all about showing off to the parents, and we've had nothing to show off. I'd say it'll be more a case of pinching their 17 year olds for now, and doing what you've said above for the 11+ lot from now onwards. Just being in the Premier League isn't enough sometimes for parents, what Forest have had from a 'money making' point of view, is clear examples of young lads who have been sold for between 5-15m, pocketing the families and the youngsters themselves big windfalls!

Well we've been consistently told that the academy is a work in progress and the ambition matching the 1st team which has seen unthinkable progression in the last 6 years has been going on behind the scenes and will come to fruition in the future. Thst is likely to be because a) we have the best coaching facilities and b) we are the standout club to come to in the Midlands who have produced England players in recent years. This could all be presumptious but that's the message I've heard. We've already been taking players from the other parts of the Midlands, we got the Pennant brothers who are from Nottingham and suspect its happening a lot. The private education as well is a huge pull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 29 April 2021 Share Posted 29 April 2021 Just watched the extended highlights, we hit the post and bar a lot!!! Played some decent stuff, some very intelligent play from the midfield. Still can't work out if Wakeling is any good or not, at times he seems very cumbersome at running with the ball and then others seems quite quick.
