Wonder what the thinking behind this is. I can understand some need game time, but can't see how playing 90 mins four days before a league match is beneficial. Unless it's decided that Thomas, Wilks, Green and Schmidt are only in contention for a place on the bench at best. Which I think is a bit daft considering we've just named an almost unchanged team for 3 games in one week, From which we have taken 2 points.
Great to see Radlinger back. I know Collins is good, but Radlinger has that bit more for me and is a bit more calming. Where’s Thiam these days?!?!
No, they said earlier this month it wasn’t as bad as first feared and that he was a fast recoverer. Back in contention within a fortnight I’d say.
Our regulars can't win a game of football so it's a chance for many fringe players to stake a claim for Friday night.
Problem is, it’s our back 3 where the issue is really - and I don’t think we have anyone to step up. Be nice to see Simeones and Odour get more game time on Friday though if needed.
Not many pushing for a starting place on the evidence of the first half. Thomas is the best of them and Simoes and Oduour look decent in patches. Not convinced by anyone else. Schmidt is miles off and Wilks keeps getting caught in possession.
Interesting strategy, play half the first team in the u23s and at least we can finally win a game.. Job's fcked.
