Notice at the moment that its Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday who occupy the top two spots in the Northern Division - Its a lot tighter in that region, so both could yet miss out. Although Sheffield United havent lost a game yet, instead they've drawn a lot more than we have.
Kanu the obvious standout but it’s nice to see a left-back with 8 goals
Kanu stand out in terms of number of goals scored but would be interested to see number of starts (or even better, goals per minute). I think Leaburn only began starting regularly when Kanu was bumped up to U23s so it would not surprise me if his goals per minute is fairly comparable. I think it was @Swisdom who said on here he just needs to get a bit more physical/nasty which is certainly what I thought when I saw him play at The Valley v Brighton. Ladapo and Reilly I imagine would have good goals per minute ratios too.
Certainly like to think one or two of Gavin, Kanu, Leaburn, Reilly and Ladapo will make it, and whilst a striker will never stay long in L1 it would be great if we could see one have a whole season with us and then get a really decent fee for the first time since Lookman.
Must have been injured on and off this season as from reports he has only been in the squad 13 times and lasted 90 minutes on 3 occasions. He did only turn 18 in December so might have been with the younger age group at times too?
This U18 lot are brilliant though. Some extremely good players and more when you consider Henry is on loan in National League and Elerewe has been injured for a while, both still only 18.

What the result this morning?
They will play at home in the play off semi-finals.

4-0 up at the break after confirming the title. These boys want to go into that playoff on a high
On the score sheet
6 - 0 Leaburn
Disappointing 2nd half 🤣

Another Aussie doing well and seems a good prospect.
Was he injured @sage @swisdom ?
