Maybe can play Bapaga in that one and put Kasta on bench instead?
Let's face it neither likely to get on given MR actions in the past and Bapaga would give the u-18's a huge boost for this game.
If he doesn't play fear the worst been a struggle for both u-18 & u-23 sides this year!
I'd say it's more successful now than it was then in terms of players produced that have made a career in the game. I don't think many from the last youth final we were in went on to do that well
It’s a long way from a level playing field nowadays. Look at recent winners and it’s a direct correlation to money invested. Some of these cat 1 academies spend more on players than our first team.
I don’t think you will ever see a cat2 winner again.
Recently Chelsea won it 5 years on the bounce, 3 consecutive finals being against Man City, last year Man City beat Chelsea.

Last year ccfc were ninth in a table of teams who have produced the most professional players playing currently obviously not all prem players, but that’s a decent record
