Tommy Hughes scored the only goal as Town’s U23s beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at the Owls’ Middlewood Road training ground to return to the top of Professional Development League Two South.

Hughes netted in the 78th minute to see the side which until yesterday was managed by Kieron Dyer - who has commented on his Town exit in a podcast - to their eighth win on the trot against Wednesday, who are coached by former Town left-back Neil Thompson.

The young Blues now lead Bristol City, who won 4-0 at Crewe yesterday, at the top of the table on goal difference but with the Robins having a game in hand.

U23s: White, Agbaje, Smith, Alexander (c), Kabongolo, Bradshaw, Ward, Humphreys, Curtis, Chirewa, Hughes. Subs: Cullum, H Barbrook, Manly, Buabo, Nwabueze.

blues1 added 17:36 - Mar 22 Pilgrimblue. Another idiot slagging off piggott. Fans needctocgive him some slack. How the hell is he supposed to perform at the top of his game, when he gets 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there, and then an odd start every now and then. He needs to be given a run of games

blues1 added 17:39 - Mar 22 Before he is judged. He scored 3 in his 1st 5 games thrn got left out. Since then has rarely played. Let's at least give him a chance before writing him off. Lests remember, werent we all writing jackson off until a few games ago?

Pilgrimblue added 18:43 - Mar 22 I'm not an idiot!! And I didn't slag Pigott off. We're having trouble scoring so don't see why Hughes shouldn't be given a chance.

elliotolly01 added 10:30 - Mar 23 Pigott does not need anymore chances before being written off, do you watch the games? He's averaging 390 mins per goal

Linkboy13 added 11:00 - Mar 23 In the real world players just don't get given a run of games at the detriment of the team they have to earn it. Jackson impressed McKenna in training with his attitude and when given his chance grabbed it with goals and assists. Pigott has failed to impress when given his chance has missed three good chances and dosent look like creating anything and seems to lack any passion. But perhaps im wrong and McKenna doesn't know what he is doing i know who's side im on.

Marinersnose added 15:16 - Mar 23 We all know that there isn't a decent striker available so we have to put up with what we've got until the Summer
