I'm going on TuesdayThe Cup tie has been arranged for next Thursday
Looks like their academy has caught us up - if they make it to Championship we will loose out on local talent. May need to review budgets.Looks like we lost 2-3 to Argyle at home today.
Its their Cup Final....Results are not really a measure at this age, and its all about development. But....I'd say something has changed maybe when you look at the trend....I've probably missed a few games and not included the other wins we have had against them in the FA Youth Cup..

A couple have travelled to Bolton today , so wouldn’t have been involved, and like you say our captain is out on loan . Put our strongest 18s against each other and we’d come out on topIts their Cup Final....
I don't think we need to get carried away. As has been said several times, the difference is that many of our academy products are away on loan at other clubs, whereas they tend to keep them at the club.
Definitely, looking at the plymouth squad on their twitter, they were full strength (Jenkins-Davis, Isaaka etc all playing that have been in their first team). We were Definitely without Cox, Lee and Jame's (possibly King/O'connor/Daniels as well but can't see a team sheet). If both teams had full strength squads playing I'd back our boys!A couple have travelled to Bolton today , so wouldn’t have been involved, and like you say our captain is out on loan .

In the 2015/16 season City youth played Argyle four times losing 1-5, 1-4, 2-5 and 0-1. City’s squad that season included Jordan Storey and Archie Collins playing regularly with Ethan Ampadu, Alex Hartridge and Jack Sparkes breaking through as the season progressed. Results at youth team level don’t necessarily mean anything.Looks like their academy has caught us up - if they make it to Championship we will loose out on local talent. May need to review budgets.
