So it's basically U21s + 3 or 4 U23s + maybe 2 of Steele, Suttner or Schelotto ?

I reckon Suttner and Steele. Schelotto seems well out of the picture at the moment. It could be a very young side as some of our Dev squad are on International duty! How times have changed, I remember when we used to get excited when one of our youngsters got picked for their national u17 side! Now we have several!

I can’t get excited about these players getting called up for their international squads when I’ve not heard of most of them.

To be fair, I only knew two thirds of them. [MENTION=1276]AZ Gull[/MENTION]'s posts are amazing but I don't always catch them all. It's amazing that there's essentially two teams at the club now. The u23s are effectively a whole other entity who are being housed within the same club. It's remarkable that we've got such investment in a second team with the ambition either of breaking even by selling players off having developed them, or potentially unearthing and growing a gem for our own benefit.

If I'd written any of this post when I joined NSC in 2009 I'd have been carted off to Millview.

Agreed. I’m not sure we ever believed that the tommy Fraser, joe gattings etc of this world would trouble the international selectors!

2nd-year scholar Jayden Onen gets a place in the starting line-up. Danny Mandroiu makes his first start of the season. Jordan Davies captains the side. Warren O'Hora has his first involvement of the season, on the bench.

A young bench also includes 2nd-year scholar Danny Cashman and 1st-years Sam Packham and Jack Spong (looks like Albion have named only 6 of a possible 7 subs).

Haydon Roberts is a 16 year old local lad who has two u23 appearances and scored against Man City u23 the other day. Looks promising.

Do you not think international recognition for our youth players is a good thing for them and the club?
