A 2-1 win for the Academy team today against QPR, a late winner from Cian Ashford. Virtually a reserve side out so it was a very creditable performance. It looks like the Academy boys are finally going to play some regular under-23 football, no Spence, Bowen, Patten, Bagan, Margetson, Patten, Griffiths or Parsons today, Ratcliffe stayed on the bench and there was no Reynolds or Davies again.

I only saw the first hour today so missed the late action, we were 1-0 up when I left and while we were riding our luck at times and struggling to have any meaningful spells of possession it was a decent enough showing considering the number of changes. Connor Davies was all energy up and down the right flank, if I had to pick anyone out, but the attitude was excellent throughout the team and I'm assuming their determination, as much as anything else, saw them over the line.
