Nottingham Forest moved to the top of the U18 Professional Development League last Saturday and two days later moved to the top of the equivalent under-23 league with a 5-2 win over Colchester United.
1718 burnley ali koiki 00 500x500It has been the two Sheffield clubs previously in pole position in the north group. Wednesday lost their place a week ago and United, having held top place for a week, went down at Coventry which allowed Forest to move above them.

It might look a surprise result, losing to Coventry, but they currently head the south group having won four of their games and drawn the other. They, QPR and Forest are the only unbeaten teams in both groups with Barnsley and Colchester losing for the first time.

QPR are just one point behind Coventry. They had the biggest win of the week, beating Bolton 5-0 and that means Bolton, who have played less games than everyone else, are still without a point having lost all three of their games. They are also still awaiting their first goal of the season.

It was another week when the south teams got the better of the north teams but, like the under-18 league, this week’s fixtures are the last between north and south before the regional games get underway.

It all kicks off tomorrow when Crystal Palace travel to Leeds while the game to watch is Monday’s encounter between Sheffield Wednesday and QPR, the two teams in second place. Having played three of our first four games away, we play host to Cardiff on Monday although, as yet, we have not had a venue confirmed for the game.

The League Tables can be found along with our Fixtures and Results in U23/U18 Stats on the top menu and those tables are updated as results are confirmed.

The Burnley player pictured is left-back Ali Koiki.
