The lads have stretched their lead to four points at the top of the league. Lens played 80 minutes Brown & Jones each played a full game.
It's they only way to get players returning from injury any proper game time, no reserve teams anymore, a downside of Academy football in my opinion.
You're 4 points clear at the top, we have 3 games in hand in 2nd place. Meanwhile our U-21's are being used in our first team, young Marcus Rashford putting the Emptyhad on it's knees on Sunday afternoon.
No monopoly of playing youngsters in Ist team - Watmore Pickford and some other good ones on loan - but the emerging youngsters are the future of football at all clubs - should be applauded -
Thats what we had with a reserve league where young stars could be blooded and thus stops the great need to loan out young prospects for more competitive football experience
To watch a load a teenagers. Nah i actually think its wrong to let the clubs in. Wasnt that comp always for the lower league teams and a day at wembley.
