I honestly don't know the answer but are they much younger than the U23 cut-off ?
So many of our youngsters are now either in the first team squad of loaned out I just wondered if we're having to Youth or U19s at the higher level now ?

I think thats the problem. Colwill, Davies, Sang, Bagan to name just a few are all well under 23 and couple out on loan. Also we dont seem to be using first team players who need a game as we used to.

Not entirely about results but early in the season there was talk of the importance of promotion to a higher level so our youngsters could playing at a higher standard which would aid their development. It would also help us in attracting youngsters
