Fulham u21s game

[lcfc sheff]

Not sure what sort of team we’ll have out, and tbh can’t be arsed to look up the rules but I know there is some sort of rule about playing a certain amount of the first team available? Hope to see Carr, Hutchinson and Neale in the team surrounded by some more experience, maybe even a 15/16 year old I’m not aware of

Playing a PL teams U21 side is another embarrassing low for our club

What's more embarrassing is that we could play their u16s and the likes of Thomas would still get out muscled.

Wasn’t the easiest to work out. It’s either 4 or 5 players from a few eligible categories. I imagine he will use it as a chance to field everyone who hasn’t had much of a chance.

 

from yesterday in terms of four you’d think Howell, Watson, Faes and Burns will start. I think the four can be from yesterdays squad as well so Souttar etc…. Left back/right back is looking tricky in terms of starters and cover though

Good chance to get some sharpness into a few fringe players. As has been said, another hugely depressing side note in the club's demise.

I like many others can't get excited for this However, if we got to Wembley, I would go. 7pm kick off just like MNF!

Personally would like to meet the (currently) 52 people who have paid £25 to sit in the weller hall for this….

Built like a cheese string.

Even taking away the embarrassment of being the junior half of a competitive match against Fulham's youngsters, there is a wider point to be made. This competition could surely be devised as a knockout amongst the 48 clubs in One and Two?

 

There really is no need for this and the EFL are ridiculous for allowing it.

Full strength minus those guys who are on international duty

I wouldn’t even open the stadium, play it at Seagrave, this is the lowest point of this clubs history……. Recent PL champions playing Fulham under 21’s in a competitive game? **** me lengthways………
