Thank you, forgot about Bailey Smith

With Albion having already qualified they have gone young tonight - starts for two U-16s in Freddie Simmonds and Harry Howell and two U-18s in the form of Joe Knight and Remiero Moulton.
A further five U-18s are on the bench (along with the lesser-spotted Kain Ryan).

Kind of forced with so many U21s currently with the first team ?

Bailey Smith - was on loan at Worthing for the first half of the season

Yep, only recently returned form his half-season loan at Worthing.

Even excluding the nine U-21s who went to Dubai (and I'm sure most, if not all, would have been available if needed), this squad still doesn't include the likes of:-

Casper Nilsson
Ruairi McConville
Ben Jackson
Samy Chouchane
Brody Peart
Marcus Ifill

I suspect this is very deliberately a squad chosen to take advantage of the opportunity to give a lot of youngsters some experience of this type of competition (with nothing riding on the result).

First time I have seen Offiah mentioned since his medical issues at Hearts which sounded very worrying. Hopefully this means they're resolved ?

He was at the Amex watching the EFL Trophy game last week…..good to see he’s back playing

He started and played 62 mins of the 4-2 win over Liverpool in the PL2 at the weekend. I believe that was his first game since October.

There was a Smith who played very well as sub against Reading last week, dunno if it's same guy
Edit others say yes

A shame so few can attend. Must be a way round this as many would be happy to park in Lancing away from stadiam

 

[Rogero]

Picture is good

I'm going to have to turn off commentary because of the zagreb coach drowning everything out!

1-0

An U-16 sets up an U-18 for the first Albion goal.

 

[madinthehead]

Nice goal. Wanted it more

1-1, bad mistake from Atom
