Manchester City U23 - Wolverhampton U23

Round 13 sees us taking on Manchester city a very good young side. It's not been as good a season as we'd have hoped after the success of last season so far due to concentrating more on player development than results. We've got a lot of young players developing currently and that's why results this season have suffered. Hopefully however in the long term this will pay off and we'll develop some good young players who can eaither come into our first team or become assets to genorate finances. Youth development is about results however the main purpose is to develop players who can become future first team players. We need to continue playing positively and working hard for each other as a team.

Aston Villa U23 - Sunderland U23

Could be a step too far to hope to get something out of this game. Not being negative but we're a shadow of ourselves and Villa's youth team have been their usually good selves.
