Nottingham Forest Academy And Under 21's
That team last night was worth 100s of millions. Traore alone is being bandied about as a 30-40m player this window. If we’d have spent that much on the centre forward I’d have wanted our money back- thought he was poor for long periods. Dendonka has been in the Belgian team. This team should have won against Spurs. However it is frustrating as we were going toe to toe with them just a few seasons ago.

(Agree, they were in the same boat as Forest a few seasons ago.  I hear ya.  Forks in the road, eh?  They took theirs...we took ours.)

For all their 100s of millions, our Academy kept them out for the 1st half.  Vs our u23s.  

Some might say that was an empty victory.

I don't.

Is that the 1st win, then?

Well done u23s.

Looks like we're adapting to life 'at the top.'

Good to see Lolley on the score sheet and young guns, Konate and Swan.

Andy Reid seems to be enjoying life as u23 coach. Talking about relishing the challenge of the Cat 1 standard. I liked some of his ideas about the press, the high fullbacks, getting possession back within 3 seconds, being aggressive etc. Talks a good game.

That result suggests that we have a good crop of u18s - Liverpool have spent gazillions on their academy!

I love the sound of Detaf's name. Does someone have his story to share?

And the jewel in the crown (Dale Taylor) wasn’t playing

Osong seems to have that something special- always seem to score!

The Academy is truly the Jewel in Forest's Crown.

God bless all who fly the flag for it.
