Winning this means our U23's qualify for the European Super League. Massive game.

If we can get safe early enough it would be nice to see a few of those in the first team.

Really good to see Harrison Nee getting games in the U23s, he only turned 18 in January. High hopes for him.

Pretty young team
Outcome will depend on whether Swansea also put out their youngsters

Jobello is a weird one. Only adult in the squad it seems.

How has young Reid looked in his appearances thus far?

Suspect that's why Reid has been starting the last couple of U23 games ahead of Joe Newton
If he looks the part expect to see him step up in the next few weeks

Hope so. As much as I really want to push for 14th now, getting some minutes into the likes of him, Eccles, Bapaga, is probably more worthwhile once we’re safe.

I think Reid will get some minutes before the season is out, assuming we are safe before the final day.

I think we will get at least a point mid-week. The team must be full of confidence after back to back wins

With a bit of luck could be 8 ahead of even Derby by close of play.

Would like to see fringe players from the bench like Allen, Shipley, Baka etc playing regularly in these games. I know we can pick up injuries but at least they're ready if called upon to play. It seems odd that they get no minutes in the first team or here and are really on a hiding to nothing when they come in cold and not match fit.

If imagine all 3 of them will leave on a free or will be told to find new clubs if they can do.

Possibly true, but there are others and it was more important (imo) earlier in the season when they were still called on. Being not selected and sitting on the bench week after week is almost worse than being injured. You're not giving your body any total rest but also not match fit when needed.

I agree with you on that, they should have played in the U23s for fitness and sharpness, the consequence is what happened when they played the other week

Bit sad for Allen & Shipley. Both played their part in our promotion last season. However no denying they have looked way out of their depth this season (way more than Biamou, who I think has done OK)
