So looking at this it’s U23 players and you are allowed 3 over age out field players
-
That is going to be some challenge for our u23's!
-
Yes but we have u23 players. You could add the odd U18 and overage players of choice. We do have three U23 loan players but I don’t see them being involved.
Gk Jones and Lawlor
Defenders Lund Blaney and Amos
Midfield Prior James Fletcher Ben Khemis
Forwards Kiwomya Beestin Watters Longbottom Morris

Is Whiteman still under 23? and Jermaine Anderson, Mason and Kiwoyma are under 23 too Would expect a similar to team to what played Mansfield though, not saying Whitman/Mason will starting.
Think its good we seem to have more competitive games below 1st team level this season before it felt like the odd behind closed door friendly so this must be a good step in terms of moving from youth level to 1st team
-
Whiteman is only recently 22.

The other game in the group is Sheffield United 2 Blackburn 0

I’m surprised Amos isn’t playing, must not want to risk him for first team cover. It’s a shame Ben Khem is injured as well, he would have strengthened the side.

When does Amos go to NI U21. As you shame say Ben Khemis and Longbottom is he injured ?would have strengthened the side and Watters will be playing for Grantham tomorrow.
