    I got confused because we finished 9th last season and we are 9th now, so I assumed this was some strange new format. Fools can easily be fooled and old ones often fool themselves.

    Yeah, 9th of about 13 I think. Not such a good season last year for the 21s. Started well this year with basically our u18 side who did very well in their own league last year.

    The academy is unrecognisable from the shambles overseen by Reid. Some great talent coming through now imo.

    Has there been investment in the facilities as well?

    The academy itself has had investment in the physical building but I think its more the coaches and the right structure and pathway for these lads now. Quite a bit of staff recruited into Academy roles over the last couple of years.

    Liverpool's finishing was the difference.

    2nd half they fell apart.
