Cian Ashford will rightly get the plaudits today.

But also well done to Conte and Giles, very impressed.

Good to see them all have their moment in front of Canton at the end.

Very encouraging with the youngsters. I had sort of dismissed most of them before today due to the results under Purse but maybe a few of them could properly be involved next season

Purse's job is to get players to the first team squad, not win a divisional U23 league

Agree on the Cat 1 bit, that’s what we need to work towards so we can keep the players coming through.

We nearly lost Ashford because of this but thankfully he wanted to stay with us.

He loves the club which made his moment today all the more special :bluebird:
