I'm guessing that's Emmanuel Osho who was sent off. I'm guessing he's back in the youth teams for the foreseeable future then.

U21s seem to be a bit weak this time round, probably unsurprising given most of the better players are stepping up to the 1st team squad, but guess that should allow better U18s to shine early. Nonetheless we could do with this damn transfer embargo being lifted so the pressure on some of the young players having to perform at levels above them all the time is eased.
