Do we have any young first teamers who would qualify? (Ramsey, Jaden, Roger’s?). Think you can have 3 overage players but is a chance we are playing a Champions League game the same night as the semi final and the final is usually on a Sunday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago We're highly unlikely to play these in EFL Trophy, as we will field weakened line-ups, before it gets to that, as always happens with PL teams in the latter stages of the competition, they're not there to win it, its just about giving academy players a few games against first team opposition We already saw that with the team that played Bolton, five sixteen year olds in the starting line-up, another who only just turned seventeen, they hadn't even played for our U21s before, then a few slightly older ones who also haven't much U21 experience because of injuries, we woudn't have been expecting a result with that team, and showed progressing wasn't of importance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Broggio, Young. and Rowe, the only players missing because of international duty, the likes of Patterson, Swinkels, Bogarde, Pierre, Kane Taylor, Hemmings Jimoh-Aloba, Khedr, Cotcher, and others all availabe, but weren't involved, we could have played a much stronger team if we wanted We used the game to give high potential first year scholars an opportunity to play first team opposition much earlier than they normally would, wouldn't have been expecting a result, but would have been seen as good development opportunity for them We might not field such a team again this season in the tourrnament, but will be weakened to a degree, as being a competition that's an opportunity for lower league clubs to play at Wembley, it's seen as maybe against the spirit of things for PL clubs to progress past a certain point, from the team we put out against Bolton, we obviously weren't even bothered about reaching the knock-out stages So it's highly unlikely it gets to the stage where we have to play these, which I think can only happen in semi-final, only one academy as got that far in the tournament, in part because they won't be trying to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we beat their 16 and 17 years old they will just say it is theie babbies. If we lose we won't stop hearing from the DVB's. Would play our kids against them and play em of fhe park. Still think we can do the double and bring back another two trophies to the proppa team from brum. Can imagine the celebrations in town afterwards.
