Beachyboy 145 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January 2 minutes ago, Jonezy said: A lot stronger than expected. Not a lot of fire power from the bench though. as was said before in the Nacho thread, think hes very useful coming on for last 20 minutes, an we can see what Perez/ barnes can do up top, the change is possible without a sub.

And, as others have suggested, it may be that clubs don't want first team, reserves, kids to all be mixing so we're left with no choice but to keep the first team or go with all the youngsters.

People moaning because he's not playing any youngsters......bet he'd be pilloried for not taking the cup seriously if he did play them! I think, me included, people like to see a strong team with a couple young players chucked in. But Ric and Corky make good points about not mixing squads due to Covid. That might be in Brendan's thoughts considering he usually does give youth a chance ala Thomas. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

oxtonfox 508 Posted 9 January Report Share Posted 9 January I was surprised he's picked a near first team for this. I thought he would play maybe 2 or 3 from the Newcastle game. This could be an opportunity for the others to put a claim in to a first team place and get a run and a bit of a tune-up like Ihenacho, Mendy, Thomas etc. Link to post Share on other sites
