just spent 5 minutes (literally) googling under23's league, etc...
https://www.worldfootball.net/goalgetter/eng-u23-premier-league-div-1-2020-2021/ - ETE IS 11th equal on that list.
So I started off at the top and worked my way down.
First two players, both at Man City still, never been out on loan anywhere to compare.
3rd place, McBridge, yet to play for Blackburns first team.
4th place, Broadhead. He scored 3 goals in 22 games on loan to Burton. So he'd fit in well with us, he'd be our top scorer!!
I think my point is simple. That the under23's league thing is totally and utterly irrelevant when it comes to stats versus capability at EFL level!
