BBM : “ ARSENAL GAME TUESDAY NIGHT “

“We'll see a lot of our young talents on Tuesday night and we look forward to the challenge."

Vertu Trophy


Arsenal will be bringing their Accademy and under 21 players to the CCS.

Brian Barry Murphy said: "I've been a big advocate of this competition for a long time for the exposure it gives young players.”

"The issue for us last time, and the issue we have again, is that a lot of players are away on international duty. It does mean those we possibly would've liked to have played aren't available to us.

"Against Exeter City, we used a lot of First Team regulars because of this and did have injury issues off the back of that. We have to protect our players. Based on the schedule we've had, Tuesday gives us a chance to utilise our U21 team. They will play in the game against their Arsenal counterparts. I feel it's important for me to be as transparent as possible.”

"We had a big crowd for the Newport County game, and we greatly appreciated that. We'll still see a lot of our best young talents on Tuesday night and we look forward to the challenge."

Agree with what he's doing.

Also full credit for letting people know before the game that it'll be a City under 21 team on the pitch rather than people spending money on tickets thinking they'd be seeing some of the first team squad.

Doubt that Tan will be happy with his manager though!
