Town’s U21s continued their excellent start to the season by beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 at Loughborough University earlier this evening, courtesy of a late Jamie Mauge goal.

John McGreal and Chris Casement’s still unbeaten side remain second in Premier League 2 behind leaders Manchester United having taken 16 points from their first six games since the academy moved to category one level at the start of the season.

Mauge came off the bench just after the hour mark and sealed the victory with a minute left from a Tudor Mendel assist.

U21s: Williamson, Elliott (Babb 71), Boniface, Mthunzi, Onuchukwi (Heard 80), Turner, Mendel, Carr (c), Boatswain (Mauge 62), Fletcher, Ayinde (Lewis 80). Unused: Barrett.

PhuketPete added 01:25 - Oct 4 Excellent from our youngsters again. Let’s hope a few of them make the top grade. Not related to U21’s but I’d love to see Forest relegated from PL to stick one in the eyes of their arrogant owner as well as Edu (who pushed Nuno out to bring in Ange) and his sidekick (whose name I can’t spell) who engineered Omari’s departure from us.

WeWereZombies added 08:23 - Oct 4 The move to Category One was long overdue and now seems to be paying dividends. Let's hope that the winning start, and the international call ups for some of that team, translate into senior team appearances soon.
