Burnley?s under-21s remain in sixth place in the Professional Development League and still seven points behind Barnsley, the team directly above us, after we were beaten 4-2 at home by Hull last Friday.
Barnsley were beaten 3-1 last night at Birmingham while Fleetwood, one place higher, were without a game. In the other two games, both Crewe and Sheffield Wednesday netted four away from home, Crewe winning 4-3 at Peterborough and Wednesday 4-0 at Wigan.

In the south, the week started with QPR holding a one point lead over Millwall at the top but the leadership changed on Monday when QPR were beaten 1-0 at Charlton while Millwall hit Watford for seven. It?s left Millwall two points in front but not far behind are Bournemouth who have two games in hand.
