Those kids are twice the size of ours. What age group is that again ?

U15 but @IGSpur said our are mostly U14

 

[IGSpur]

I gather there will be youngsters involved tomorrow.

Dammit. Was going to buy. Heard Edwards was injure and assumed other than KWP, no one else would feature. If it's just Amos and Georgiou again I won't worry, if it is Skipp, and some of the other top players, I will kick myself if they get a lot of time.

Knowing Poch it will KWP at LB with Rose injured, with Tracey and Joe Pritchard on the bench cause they’ve got kick arse attitude.

 

[ziggy]

What is Edwards injury ?

 

[Anuth]

Honestly, I expect no different from the Apoel match from Poch. But if you ask me I want this team

Vorm,- KWP, Foyth, Sanchez, Bennetts, Wanyama, Skipp, Lamela. Eriksen/Son/Alli(1 of them), GKN, Llorente

Subs Gazza-, Dier, Trippier, Eriksen/Son/Alli(1 of them), Shashoua, Sterling, Kane

 

[Anuth]

Come on Poch. Are you kidding me? Do we need to play this strong team against team in League one's relegation zone?

 

[WindyCOYS]

Sorry for the duff info guys.

 

[WindyCOYS]

What a damn shame and missed opportunity.

 

[Anuth]

I don't want to compare but this is Westham team play away against 2nd place team from League one.

 

[SpursD22]

What a damn shame and missed opportunity.

Yep... Nkoudou will apparently be sold/loaned out so a academy player should’ve taken his place. Tanganga should’ve also been on the bench and maybe one more (Skipp?) should be on the bench. We’re not asking that every academy player should start but when KWP is the only one that is in the squad then I get worried. Poch credibility to give the academy players the chance keeps dropping. But I’m not surprised

You could tell we looked really out of our comfort zone. That game against Hoffenheim was one way traffic. We tried to play the game like it was a normal match. Running out with the ball and then losing it. They will learn. Haven't watched all of the games, some faces look familiar but I am struggling for names. I know I said there were a lot of u14s but I've only spotted 2. Players I thought were there like John and Haysman haven't featured in the 2 games I've watched. I assume this is for players born after 03. Here are 3 players i recommended. If I see more I'l add in case anyone watches and is interested

1.Adam Hayton (u14)
2.
3.Dane Scarlett (u14)
4.
5.
6.
7.
8. Eddie Carrington-Alberdi (u15)
9.
10.

Sorry for the duff info guys.

Reckon it was one of those where they travelled with the first team, actually we're at home. So maybe kept around for the matchday experience

 

[CJMurray]

Not even one youth team player on the bench at home to Wimbledon. Sick of Poch wasting these opportunities to give our best academy players a game.

 

[IGSpur]

Funny thing is, I'm so pessimistic about our players getting chances, yet I still get a little optimistic waiting for the team sheet and its so disappointing. I want to win this Cup badly but when even Amos can't make the bench faith wanes even more. When else will he possibly give anyone a chance this year. Hey at least KWP gets a chance at LB

 

[St José Dominguez]

With the team put out today there's every chance we could be 3 goals up with 20mins left. Kane and Lamela would be subbed off, surely it would've been nice to give a couple of youth team players 20mins experience rather than bringing on Dele and Son. I don't get it.

I hope the reason that KWP starts is not because of Rose's injury.
