Excellent spot.
If Dunky and Pascal are still getting better aged 32, these other whippersnappers are going to be awesome (if we can hang on to enough of them ...)

And they're playing with a maturity way above their age

You can't win anything with kids.

Possibly that's true, but it's good enough to stuff Palace

 

[Motogull]

Roy would be checking the rules to see if he could get an under 18 team out like that.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

So an average age of just 23 and a bit. How does that rank in the PL history books? I'm guessing there have been plenty younger, but it's still pretty impressive, no?

Brian Owen wrote about it in the Argus today. Our youngest ever line up in the top flight (just) was in 1981 v Coventry
Albion also won 4-1 and the average age was 23 years and 259 days.

OMG, that website has managed to get worse. It's hard to find the story amongst the adverts intruding from every angle.

Gross and Dunk really letting the side down there.

We could have swapped these two out for 15 year olds. If there good enough they are old enough. Sort it out RDZ!
