Youth teamers potentially with first team on 08:38 - Jul 22 with 1792 views | Hackneyblueboy | I suspect that's just to make up the numbers Joe seeing as we're short. Would be nice if one or two of the home grown boys featured under PC though as he seems to almost disregard the academy. Maybe he just thinks the last crop wasnt good enough but maybe he has a different view on the new ones coming through. | | | |

More often that not, youth team players opportunities are to make the numbers up - but it gets the staffs eyes on them and an opportunity to impress. Sounds as though Armin and Humphreys especially are doing well | |

What do you mean "he seems to almost disregard the academy"? He's only been in charge of a handful of games at the tail end of the season. | |

I haven't seen White at all this summer, not even convinced I've seen confirmation he signed his contract? | |

Bert White?? What a fantastic name. I want to shake his dad by the hand. | |

That is how it is, I believe. Those involved with the first team to make up the numbers haven't been involved with the U23s for Covid reasons. Shouldn't indicate they're close to first-team involvement once the season's up and running. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Anyone aged under 20 does not count for limit on the outfield squad size. The previous crop of Academy graduates (Nydam, Lankester, etc.) are too old to slip under that bar, but the present Youth can provide a useful pool of reinforcements without constraining the primary First Team options. | |

It’s anybody aged under 21 at 31 December 2020 for this season so Jack wouldn’t have counted towards squad size this season; Nydam would. El Miz and Dobra don’t count this season either. | | | |

Indeed. It's a very fiddly rule and (as Joe pointed out) inconsistent with the other age boundaries in football. Lankester was a bad example, really, as I think he's more out because of his injury and not having recovered form afterwards, than on age alone. El Mizouni and Dobra are both being persisted with. | |

Any potential rising stars to keep an eye on? I’ve heard of a few of them (Crowe, Simpson, Oppong, Stewart), but know very little about any of them tbh. | |

I think he's been told he can leave, whether he does or not is a different matter Subsequently discovered he was due to play for 23s last night, but didn't in the end - so that's where he currently is | |

I asked earlier in pre-season and was told he'd been training with them. I think a lot of them only returned to training on Monday after their spell self-isolating so some may not have been considered ready for a game last night. | | | |

He was certainly training with the first team the other week (before Hladky signed). | |
