[Albion] Wolves U23s v Albion U23s: PL2 Division Two, Molineux, tonight 7pm

[AZ Gull]

Albion U-23s have already secured their Premier League 2 Division Two play-off spot and, indeed, know that they will face Middlesbrough in the sudden death play-off semi-final tie. What is still left to be determined is home advantage. The current standings:-




Albion will finish either 3rd or 4th based upon the results of their fixture at Wolves this evening and Middlesbrough's fixture at Southampton. As long as Albion match Boro's result they will finish above the Smoggies (Albion have a far superior goal difference) and have home advantage in the play-off. Both Albion's opponent (Wolves) and Boro's opponent (Southampton) still have a chance of making the final play-off spot which should ensure that the two fixtures are competitive (Norwich and Reading are also in with a chance of claiming that last spot).

Albion are in a golden run of form in all competitions (and unbeaten in 7 in the league).

All 5 fixtures this evening kick-off at 7pm.

Is Alan Pardew still managing WBA's U23 squad?

Who'd of thought that. Albion and Boro going into the last game of the season level on points and needing a result.

Who’d have (or who’d’ve), but not “who’d of”

Thank you teacher. I'll pop an apple on your desk in the morning.

I did read that back before posting and thought that something wasn't quite right. Now I know that I was correct about there being something wrong, I can sleep easier tonight.

Central defender Warren O'Hora makes his full U-23 debut (and first Premier League 2 appearance). Des Hutchinson (who has been out injured since January 19) is on the bench:-

As it's at Molyneux, any chance that Wolves might have feed of the game?

Has Jorge Mendes had his sticky hands into recruitment of their U23s too?

Hopefully Gyokeres continues his hot streak.

I know what you mean

Isn't he a bit young for you though, Edna?

Meanwhile, Southampton have just taken the lead against Middlesbrough in the other pertinent fixture.

Just in case anyone wanted to watch that one live - PL2 Live: Saints vs Middlesbrough

That really is a young Albion side tonight so hope they get a win.

 

[AZ Gull]

Now Southampton 2 - 0 Middlesbrough.

Saints...winning a game?!

 

[AZ Gull]

Southampton are not only showing their U-23s live, they have multiple camera angles and replays.

This makes me sad.
