strange names, only charsley is a u23 regular.

There aren't enough U23 players who've been here long enough and are young enough to play

Not surprised they're looking at the age group below

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

Lewis Gibson

Can't play as he hasn't been here long enough

ah. Thanks

 

[BlueToff]

No lookman tho. He might have to come on sunday

so IMO in that case he'd be much better with having some minutes in his legs

No point in not playing the squad players - they need game time.

Personally think anyone who is in the 18 would benefit from a whole week of training and preparation rather than the 3 days or so you'd be away from the main group to go to the Cyprus game (travel Weds, game on Thursday and return early Friday morning)

I'd play Mirrallas.

Just him, on his own.

He'd still have a strop at his teammates.

 

[evertondotcom]

Joel
*no idea* Besic Feeney *no idea*
Beni McCarthy (not the former Blackburn player)
Lookman Klassaan Mirallas
Sandro Ramirez

Come to think of it, this should have been David Henens opportunity.

Don't think he's registered though?

 

[johnnydawg68]

no but hes been injured for a while so people need to stop picking him in their teams

My bad. Forgot about that.

he's not. Unsworth included him in his first European squad and said they he couldn't play but would benifit from training and travelling with the first team

Yeah Henen can't play unfortunately. He doesn't count as a Homegrown.

Despite there being nothing on this game. I want us to go out there and show some pride in the shirt! Whoever plays

Amazing away support eventhough we are out of the cup

Tbh I thought there'd be a good chance we'd get the squad out there yesterday or today.

Give them a few days off after Huddersfield and then take them all out there for a bit of warm weather training.

Have today and Wednesday to pretty much just work with the squad as a whole, then Thursday use as a focused session ahead of the derby.

Fly back Friday.

We've obviously not decided to do that, but would have made sense for Sam to have time on the ground with all of the players together in good conditions.

...looks like it’s been raining in Cyprus the last few days. Forecast is 14 degrees.
