Missing the boat or what
Those teams are bigger than us to be fair but our 2nd team has never really challenged- I dont think it would compete very well against those clubs mentioned.

My Son played against Forests academy. I was disappointed that a club with such a illustrious history appeared to be profiling kids at a young age and fielding lumps v technical players. Very different age but I hope it was a bad day, or a untypical Forest kids side.
