I hope that Arsenal win the Play Offs because it makes another great fixture. We need as many as possible of these games at the iPro or at the Academy at 7pm under floodlights when needed. They are building a double back to back stand for supporters at the Academy.

For our older readers, that nail-biting finish reminded me of the season we won our first title. The Rams had finished their games and were anxiously waiting the results of other games whilst sunning themselves in Spain. They went our way and we were Champions. 

Just goes to show, you can't beat points in the bag. 

Gotta feel a little sorry for the WBA boys just missing out on the play offs having giving it their all.

What's more impressive is the clubs reluctance to use overage players in the U21's. While other clubs have used it for overage players (e.g. wilshere at arsenal) we've used as many young players as possible and it's paid off. I think this goes to show what some real focus and investment on the academy can do

Wilshere was due to recovering from a long term injury, he's played 3 games, and we've done that. Buxton (who has kept playing since getting fit due to not being able to get into the team), Bryson, Hughes etc.

Arsenal play very few senior players too, it's still an impressive feat though I agree. I think it says a lot that the two teams that (probably) used the fewest senior players finished first and second.
