Its pronounced 'Gyokeres'
As I thought.
Under 21's don't count.
But I would imagine there are much better ways of getting players to gain that experiance other than just 10/15 mins here or there. It might have been possible in League 1 and 2 maybe a push in the championship, but unless you are in serious trouble the Premier league is not that place. Cup games and Europe seem to be where the big clubs bleed there players, I dont think we are at that point yet, so i expect to see more loans for our developing players.
Outside players who play for the club we still have servaral players who have come from our DS team throughout the top 4 leagues.

Bring them on when we're two or three down then. We can only use three of the subs on the bench anyway, and the youngsters do not affect the numbers we name in the squad (and technically speaking, we don't have to name 25 players in our squad, though obviously it is in our interest to do so).

If they're under 21 they don't have to be named for the PL squad.
That's what so hilarious about visionaries like Wenger et al. who 'didn't take the cups seriously'. Back in the day he started to use the opportunity to try out these players (aged 17-24) he wanted to bring through, in a situation where he was allowed to. Now everyone does it - even us. Even us when we were shit and had the likes of Cristian Baz playing for us and drawing against Woking in the cup. Back in the day people got vilified for it for not taking our domestic competitions seriously...
Can you imagine starting Connelly or whoever the prospect-du-jour is in the PL with £XXXm at stake??!

PS. quote wasn't really at you mate, just a semi-rant generally when people complain about "not giving the kids a chance".

Do you not know or was that for comic effect? I also don't know and am curious.

No, I was stupid. I just re-read this. Gaol of course is with a 'J' in pronunciation and I was being hasty and taking out my private personal life problems on you. Sorry about that mate.

The U-23s are restricted to a maximum of 3 matches at the training ground by the competition rules of Premier League 2; they also have to play at least 3 matches at the Amex - Premier League 2: Competition format explained
They used to play matches at Culver Road but I believe that artificial surfaces are banned under competition rules and so when the 3G pitch was installed it meant they could no longer play there.
This season, the 11 home matches were staged as follows: 3 at the Amex, 3 at the training ground and 5 at the Checkatrade.com Stadium.
