U23 v Colchester (5 Viewers)

[better days]

I think we'll see a fairly strong team out for this one tomorrow as a number of senior players need game time

[torchomatic]

Too early for Jones and Pask?

 

[stevefloyd]

Maybe bench depending where they are at for Pask but doubt Jones will feature

 

[better days]

Too early for Jones and Pask?

Yes I think so
Maybe next week if all goes well

 

[Mcbean]

Allen again for more game time ?

I think a few lads who need game time are likely to feature

Too early for Jones and Pask?

I don't want Jones playing at all on any sub-standard U23 pitches.

There is nothing sub-standard about the pitches at the Higgs :emoji_rolling_eyes:

 

[cc84cov]

Is this game today ? At Alan Higgs ?

Not with all the shit they've had on them!

Exactly, better than the Ricoh ever was.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Everyone apart from Bilson has played a first team game this season...

 

[jordan210]

You have to say looking at that team. When all are up to fitness and without suspensions the 1st team should look tasty

 

[cc84cov]

Jesus strong team that

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Wow! Hopefully Allen can start Saturday if he comes through this

 

[The Great Eastern]

Wow! Hopefully Allen can start Saturday if he comes through this

Give the bloke a chance Dom. I'd imagine a token role for Allen this weekend as a sub. No point pushing him too hard in what ought to be a fiercely competitive game.

Ipswich will play a second team and I’d expect Allen to start if he plays most of today

Highly doubt Ipswich will play a second team!!!

My question to you Dom is who does he replace in your eyes mate ?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Hard to say tbh! Its a good headache mind

 

[Nick]

Christ, thats a strong lineup for U23s as well

Hopefully it will dust some cobwebs.

 

[Mcbean]

Would be good if some goals can be scored for confidence !

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

These games usually go the opposite way when a lot of first teamers are involved. Chances are the 11 today haven’t even trained together while the other teams have trained together all season. Then you have the other factor that the first team players treat this as a glorified training session and the younger, less experienced team have more to prove.

 

[Briles]

anybody know what the carrot is for winning the Pro Development league?

 

[cc84cov]

Anyone there

Well just a trophy as we are a Category 2 academy and can’t move up.

We could enter the PL cup where we can test ourselves against Cat 1 teams but the club don’t decide to enter.
