In fairness though ever since the end of reserve football it's become more understandable. If you have players coming back from injury or simply not being selected it makes sense to give them a run out. We just don't seem to do it enough.Callumcafc said:Madness that Coventry can field a team like that in an U23s match.I count three/four potential first teamers (Bakayoko, Allen, Shipley and Pask at a push) as well as two Premier League loans (Sheaf and Gyokeres).0 -
Think you are only allowed three over age players plus a keeper.
No ideas on the City players ages though.

Actually believe this is good experience for our young players. They can really improve by playing against a higher level of opposition.Callumcafc said:Madness that Coventry can field a team like that in an U23s match.I count three/four potential first teamers (Bakayoko, Allen, Shipley and Pask at a push) as well as two Premier League loans (Sheaf and Gyokeres).
It also allows us to assess their performance levels against a stronger team.2 -
They will do in behind close doors games at the training ground .. it’s a day of today for most of the squadTodds_right_hook said:surely the new manager would benefit watching fringe players and players returning from injury rather than an u-18 striker promoted to the u-23’s.
play the players who have a chance of making an impact on the first team and watch the youngsters in the next game
it would have been a good opportunity to learn about players strengths and how to utilise them.Schwartz would benefit from 60 minutes. Plus a trip to Coventry would take him away from being sat in a hotel Tom by himself.1 -
Joe Newton the Coventry left back went to School with my son and was at the University of Herts Football Development Centre with him. Saw quite a bit of him training and playing for School team. He was a forward then though.

Lucas Ness went to school with my eldest son, which has rekindled his interest in all things Charlton. He didn’t play for the school team in his final year though.MuttleyCAFC said:Joe Newton the Coventry left back went to School with my son and was at the University of Herts Football Development Centre with him.

So the Brighton U23 player scores two goals for Coventry U23s against Charlton U23s.1

A Swedish player of Hungarian origin, belonging to Brighton, he was loaned to Swansea at the start of the season, then recalled and loaned to Coventry to get more first team football, and not getting much action for them today played today for their U23sCallumcafc said:So the Brighton U23 player scores two goals for Coventry U23s against Charlton U23s.

Wonder what the watching Adkins thought of that?0

Sent to Coventry despite all the positivity. Some people just can't win.0

I am sure he learned a lot. If any players played reasonably well despite the scoreline that might be a good starting point for getting them into the squad. Interesting that Mingi wasn't at CB and we got spanked.
Really would like to see him, Henry and Clayden given a chance soon.0 -
When you watch games below first team level at the time of course you want to see a win. However because of mis matches and selection inconsistencies at all clubs results definitely come second to individual performances.
For example we lost in the FA youth cup the other day, but Richard Chinn caught the eye as it were.1 - Sponsored links:

A few caught my eye. Campbell and Leaburn and Chin to a lesser extent, but I don't think they are possibilities for this season. Henry, who many are touting as one certainly didn't look ready, but it is only one game. It is not a negative reflection on them, but they really do need to be ready for their own sakes.seth plum said:When you watch games below first team level at the time of course you want to see a win.

A good idea & a great opportunity for players to get some minutes & NA to have a proper look at the squad1

Brentford have a Greek demi-god and the Trialist brothers to choose from if they need to

Good outing for a number of players. Hope Schwartz plays for 90 minutes and scores!!6

Good to see Matthews, Innis and Gilbey approaching fitness.
Unusual to have these games even mentioned on the OS let along a teamsheet and twitter updates.
Allsop is a creative midfielder we signed from Phoenix Sports so I assume he's a local lad.
Brentford have no academy so I expect them to be a strong side. Don't start doing Golfie impressions if we lose, it's just a behind closed doors friendly to give injured players some game time and for NA to look at the youngsters.6 -
But we can start looking into who will get priority for Wembley tickets if we win?Henry Irving said:Good to see Matthews, Innis and Gilbey approaching fitness.
