Ba also went off with cramp so there will be muscle fatigue. wet pitch as well. likely the same thought went into Evans staying benched and none of the returners coming in.
Aye. no point taking risks with a 2 week break coming up effectively. Hope we field a complete u23 team v Shrewsbury
Id be surprised if it was just cramp, but either way after how well Roberts played he deserves a start
tough one isn't it. I'd love to see us take the FA Cup serious this year. But squad struggling. Hopefully a chance to blood a couple of new signings. Ba, Michut, Dajaku, Matete, Bennette should all play.
For another bit of context he is 2 years older than my son, who is currently sat in his pants playing monkey soccer on his vr headset
It definitely puts things into context mind. I know we're keen to give him a pathway, but it doesn't need to be minutes on the pitch before he's even 16. Training with the first team, being part of the match day squad, preparing for matches and sitting on the bench will all be invaluable experience for him.
All true. But nothing beats making a debut for a mens team. That feeling you get is immense. I would be keen to see him get some appearances under his belt this season, see where he is at. 10 mins today. 30 mins in the cup. Let him get a taste of it and get a sense of what he needs to focus on.
Ffs the match kicks off in 20 mins and im 30 mins away in a pub away from my iptv. I've started this year the same way as I ended last. A fecking b€llend.
