Been online to book tickets and it's showing that none of the 3rd tiers are open, anyone connected to club know if they will open any of them ?
Struggling to find any decent seats together with what's left
Lots of kids if they all feature in the squad. Perhaps too many if we are going to get through.
Third tier East Stand is open but not showing on line. South Stand & Colin Bell third tiers are both shut.
If football was played on paper then possibly. But we're talking about high quality young players. If they play with some of the usual first team players there is no reason why we can't win and based on some of the performances we've seen from the likes of Bony, Navas and others in games over the past couple of seasons, nothing suggests the kids will do any worse in anycase.
I'd hope to see Roberts and Nacho at least starting. I've not been overly impressed with Garcia since his return to the EDS. He's not stood out. But it would be good to rest Yaya at some point during the game and we've not got many central options at the moment.
He's a player coach IIRC, presumably predominately viewed as a coach.Clearly no-one thinks willy should get a game. What about Richard Wright? He must be with us for a reason.
Imo, the thing is to have solid experienced players in the key positions like cb etc, then use the kids in positions where they can try to impress, but it doesn't cost us if they struggle & have to be replaced. It's when people just randomly throw a bunch of untried players into a scratch team that it all goes tits up & all the newcomers look shit, as in most England friendlies.
