The U21s beat Fulham away 2-0 tonight in the round of 16 of the playoffs. Next up we play Reading away to be played between May 10th and 13th.

Osong and Konate got the goals.
Osong has also signed a new contract, 2 year deal taking him to 2026. Expect him to head out on loan next season.

My Forest timeline is full of new contracts for Academy players. Is there some sort of restructuring or just business as usual?

You really need to produce the next batch of players with a shot of making it in the first team. This was always going to be extremely more difficult in the Premier, but it's doable. If it can be done over here (where there is notorious distrust of young players and zero tolerance for their mistakes) it can be done over there.

Contracts often run until the end of June, so it would possibly be about the time of year for renewals?

Carlisle might get a visit from me. Do we just play them once?

EDIT: Just checked and it's once only and all academy games are away.

Our 23s just tied 1-1 against CD Minera. Good experience getting to play against their first team, Dale Taylor with the goal for us. I personally believe he deserves minutes with the first team this pre-season ahead of the likes of Hwang
Got to be looking to try and get Dale Taylor into a championship loan this season if we can. Didn't disgrace himself at Wycombe, think he was hampered with a couple of injuries, but we need to get him stepped up a level now.
