Sounds like Claude is having a good look at the youngsters.

And that's the way to do it. He can't come in and listen to the fans or the previous manager who may think the youngsters aren't good enough, he needs to decide for himself. Make the assessment and then go back to Les, tell him who he thinks could come involved the quickest and then decide which of the list of targets we should sign.

And as Hunter said at the end "It's not just about now but the future".
Hopefully those who are worrying about us going too much for youth, will listen to those comments and stop bed wetting getting so upset over comments read in newspaper articles.

Steady Badger!

I posted on the club direction thread very similar. We are bringing in a lot of youngsters and I do believe it is to bolster those being able to break through in a year or three from now. Makes sense if we don't think what we had would break through.

Anyone know who the 8 U21 players going to America are?

No, those I've seen in training clips;

Alfie Jones
Olufela Olomola
Jake Hesketh
Josh Sims
Richard Bakary
Marcus Barnes
Harry Lewis

But then there is Isgrove, Stephens, Gallagher, Reed, Turnbull, McQueen - but he might consider these guys as more senior

I should of just said no or nothing at all lol

I've not come across Richard Bakary or Harry Lewis - what are their positions?
 
With more games this year, and a manager willing to play youth, there are exciting times ahead.
Wouldn't mind seeing a midfield of ;
Romeu
JWP Reed
at some point, maybe in one of the cups.
There's EFL Trophy (formerly the JPT) games for the U21s as well this year, I suspect we may see that mid-field there for a couple of games at least, as they've changed the format to include group stages (see the general football thread for more on those games).
