Sounds like novakovich has a recall option in his loan which could be interesting if he keeps scoring plenty until Jan. 4 in 7 so far I think

U23’s away at Middlesbrough tonight in the league- Loader is playing- so won’t be involved tomorrow.

House is scoring plenty

In other times he would be looking at getting into the first team squad

You’d hope so. U23s up to 3rd again and couple of lads there looking pretty strong

Now in my opinion U21/3 teams should be scrapped and replaced with proper old fashioned reserve teams (where perhaps there would have to be, say, at least 5 U21/3s starting) so that youngsters could get a good amount of regular game time playing with and against experienced pros and really start to see how they stacked up. I know you can add a couple of pros to an U21/3 team currently but usually that’s only when that pro is recovering from injury which is not necessarily much of a gauge.

Really looking forward to tomorrow night`s game at the Mad Stad against Sparta Prague in the International cup KO 7 pm. After winning at leicester in the 1st group game, can they make it 2 out of 2 ?
There are 6 groups of 4 in this comp with only the 6 group winners and the 2 best runners up going forward to the next stage.
Other team in the Royals group is Feyenoord who we play, also at the Mad Stad on December 19th

I quite like what Plymouth have done and thrown a development side into the non-league pyramid. Could well be good for an u21/23 side to be in the Hellenic.

Isn't this the equivalent of Premier League clubs having "B teams" in the Championship? Or the much maligned Checkatrade cup changes?

No, it would be the same as the Premier League clubs having a B Team in the Hellenic.

You know what I mean. People objected to the Checkatrade cup format because including PL academy sides undermined the integrity of the competition.

What if a U23 team wins it - do they get promoted?
