It is a benefit to the development of young players. How is that a bad thing? Many of those young players won't make it at the top level and the lower league clubs will be able to pick up better, more developed young players.
Also, it could be an incentive for clubs to invest in youth facilities if any category one youth club could enter.

Exactly this.

I doubt Pocognoli will be risked now, but expect runouts for Goldson, Hunemeier, Towell, LuaLua and Maenpaa on Tuesday.

Tonight's the night.

Towell and LuaLua are bound to feature. Perhaps Maenpaa, March and Goldson.

But is Elvis now so out of favour he'll miss out ? ???

I'm really looking forward to it. Club bar, not worrying if we win, close to home. Sounds like a pleasant night out!

AFC Wimbledon V Brighton & Hove Albion U21s 2nd round checkatrade trophy 19.45 K.O

Anybody going to the kingsmeadow tonight to watch the lads ? been offered a lift so rude not to pop along and count the crowd , be interesting to see if Solly gets a run out tonight or the boss thinks his time is done in the reserves , Towell will probably play i would imagine , seen a few games recently and we really do play some lovely stuff .

Norwich youngster Timm Klose named in their squad for tonight.

Really want to go but I am being dragged to bloody winter wonderipoff tonight.

The only thing I will be wondering is how they can get away with charging a tenner for an average hot dog...

Signs of life on Dons Player although just funky music.

Surprised to see that both Murray and Baldock are starting. Guess the carrot of a Wembley final is a significant pull.

This will almost certainly be more entertaining than the game....
