It was a Premier League Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Middlesbrough U23 wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nottingham U23 manager Reid as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Blackburn Rovers U23.
Nottingham U23 have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. As for defending, Nottingham U23 rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 13 goals from these away matches.
