How they hell we lost 5-0 to Norwich earlier this season is a mystery. They only have 7 points all season and have let in 68 goals in 22 games. Very strange.

I believe it was the other way around - we beat Norwich 5-0. We’ve only lost 4 games - to Spurs, Palace, Arsenal and Leicester.

Sorry, I was looking at a result from the end of last season. Oops.

Just looking on Flashscore. 

Yes, winners go into a play off final against Northern winners which looks like Man City as they are 7 points clear in their league.

Cheers mate, what time are we leaving for the away leg? I'm up for that

2 days off if it's midweek. Up there for just after lunchtime and straight on the beers. Go to the game and then lord it around the Northern Quarter singing Saints songs until 3am.

11mins Furlong for Reading finds Okine-Peters right side of the box STRIKES IT AND SCORES 1 0 READING U18's.

16mins Bragg, does well find Jimmy Jay Morgan in the centre of the box, Right Footed! AND THERE IS THE EQUALISER  FOR SOUTHAMPTON

After some years of decline in league performance, Southampton under 18s are finally back performing!

Of course what really matters is the quality of youth player reaching the 1st team rather than league position. But it is an encouraging sign!

(Some very promising players in the age groups below the u18s aswell)

Great win that. Beat Reading again on Wednesday and we'll be into the final Vs Man City.

2nd like we really turned up the gears in the 2nd half and even subbed players off with the B team in mind

Cheers for the updates, some consolation to see the good u18 results when 1st team let us down. 

Is the play off definitely 2 legs? Assume we'd play at St Mary's to allow fans to go, doesn't seem to have as much status as the FA Youth Cup, Man Utd v Forest is set to have a crowd over 40k for that

Mate's nipper is the Reading keeper. Mate is a Skate though so don't feel too bad.

Didn't you used to have a favourite spying tree? Anyway, 0-0 at half time according to Saints twitter.

Winning 2-0 after 83 mins according to trusty flashscore. Diamond Edwards and Kami Doyle with the goals. 
 

Edit: oh, Steve beat me to it :(

Looking forward to our lads playing up against Man City, will be tough but a really good test for them.

Fantastic for them to win the Southern Division.

What’s crazy (I completely forgot this) is we finished bottom of the table last season.

That was always going to be a temporary blip due to the ridiculous number of first team injuries which pushed the U23 players into the first team squad and so on down the chain.

A lot of them weren't ready, however what it did was give a lot of U16's the chance to play up and gain experience at 18's which has positively affected them this season. 

We're fully back on track now.

And of course with the ludicrous cancellation eligibility criteria the PL adopted for large parts of this season, if the same injury situation had happened this season we'd have been able to use a single Covid case to get games postponed and not expose the kids to a level they weren't yet ready for.
