Luke Hyam, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Josh Carson, Jack Ainsley, Joe Whight, Chieck Kourouma and Ronan Murray are in a Town U21 squad facing Bristol City’s second string at Ashton Gate this afternoon (KO 1pm).
Also in the party which travelled to the west country yesterday afternoon are academy youngsters Byron Lawrence, Amir Berkane, Mark Timlin, Michael Crowe, Kyle Hammond, Jack Marriott and Jacob Marsden.
Murray was sent off for a headbutt in last week’s 1-0 victory over Brighton but his three-match ban, which only applies at U21 level, doesn’t come into force until September 30th.
Prior to the Seagulls game, the U21s had lost 2-1 at Swansea and beaten Cardiff 6-0 at home.
