Last game of the regular season for the under 23s.

1pm kick off at the Ricoh.

Need a win to put pressure on Palace and stay in the top 2 playoff positions.

How do the play offs work? Is it the same as the normal leagues with 2 semi finals, a final and then promotion?

 

[SBchimp]

The top in the Northern league play the 2nd place team in the southern league at home - Currently Leeds v Coventry
The 1st in the South plays 2nd from the North - Currently Ipswich v Birmingham

Winners have home advantage

Then winners of the semi play to be national champions - no promotion, just get to do it all again next year!!

 

[SBchimp]

Both North and South have clear winners and both have it all to play for in second spot

Where is the final usually held?

 

[SBchimp]

I think its a simple as a coin toss between the two teams for home advantage.

 

[Nick]

Pack out the Higgs

Palace have Leeds, and Watford to play, and are one point behind.

Really we need to score a few here today, and hope palace lose to to Leeds, and we finish second. If Palace draw to Leeds it will likely come down to GD.

Get Big Dave back! All gone to shite since altering the system

We're going to be young today with the 1st team playing tomorrow. I would hope "BD" will be there as Chaplin and JP are making returns around the 1st team.

Ah yeah, the first team squad have already gone to Sunderland haven't they?

Either that or injured.

Maybe Robins is just blooding him in?

Still a strong team mind you that should be able to beat a poor Hull team.

No idea on Rowe, does anybody know if he is any good?

Must mean Westbooke is in the team for tomorrow also

Don't recognise anyone from the Hull side

And Ponticelli maybe.

And Ponticelli maybe.

Ponti will be on the bench won't start.

Nah, I just meant he may have travelled up with the 1st team squad. But I’m not sure if he’s injured again or not.

trialist started brightly

Under 23 football surely doesn't count as professional. We should be at least in negotiations with CRFC about having the U23s there next year. People can go up there, club gets some money, people get to see cov players in a cov shirt playing in cov.

1-0 Bremang pen

[Liquid Gold]

[wal3590]

3-0 Sam Mcallum...I think

 

[Nick]

Walters sounds like he is having a good game?

 

[wal3590]

Very good first half, Burroughs trialist and Eccles very good games

 

[wal3590]

Young lad at right back has struggled

 

[skybluegod]

3-0 win, 4 better GD than Palace, lets hope they draw or lose against Leeds tomorrow now

Walters good enough to replace Thomas for next season?

Walters good enough to replace Thomas for next season?

Seen him play a few times he’s good very quick with good feet I feel thomas is a long way ahead of him tho next season might be too early for him.
