So poor with communication - Harker back on the bench and we are told he's returning from a long term injury, the first time that injury has been mentioned. Cropper was recalled from Chesterfield in January but this is the first time he's played.

Two under-23 players left in January last year and there was no mention of them leaving. We have players out long term and it isn't deemed worthy of mention. I just don't understand it.

We never get straight answers on first team injuries so I'm not sure why you think we'd get better info about u23 players.

Just a few words on the site

Amazingly, for the second week running we've had a player sent off with the club making absolutely no mention of it.

Apologies to our reporter and more so to Jimmy Dunne. Both the Premier League and West Brom have reported the red card but I've had it from very good authority that he was NOT sent off.

Didn't mention it initially. Premier League said Dunne had been sent off but I was told that he wasn't. Didn't think someone else had been.

Are our u23’s coached to ‘mirror’ the 4-4-2 formation and the relatively rigid framework of the first team?
Which would make sense when players are asked to step up to join the first team squad but might ‘suppress’ their natural creative/instinctive development.
No hidden agenda, I’m just interested in how the u23’s are coached.

He's on loan at Bolton until the end of the season - we are able to play him in these games but only if he's not required by Bolton.

Manager there says he's letting him settle in before he plays him but has been very impressed with him. But he doesn't even put him on the bench.

Just how long would he need to settle in?? Also, not sure just what the reasoning would be in letting him go there but then not even be on the bench, never mind actually play!

I don't get it, I could half understand the comment if he was on the bench but I don't think he's been on once. I'm sure that's why we took the opportunity to bring him back in for yesterday's game.

Perhaps it’s kinder to say that rather than he’s not up to it yet.

I believe their regular keeper is Gilks, so tbf he's loads of experience and no slouch and they are pressing for a play off place, so suddenly picking an inexperienced goalkeeper at that level would be a huge risk. Not even having him on the bench is weird though and I did notice that myself the other week.

Evatt said a couple of weeks ago; “Lukas is an exceptional young goalkeeper and he’s a big, big boy. I don’t know if people have seen him but he’s a specimen and he is very agile. I have been impressed with him in training as well. The thinking behind this is that I want to give him time to settle down with the lads, get him used to the environment. When results were not going as well it was a big ask for a young keeper to step in. Matt has mountains of experience."

They are in with a chance of the play-offs, perhaps changing keepers is a risk their manager is not prepared to take.

Perhaps they thought he would be then it turned out he wasn’t.
Just look at Dyche and how the vast majority of his loan signings work out.

Yes, I can fully understand that but he's not even getting on the bench, in fact they haven't even been putting any keeper on the bench!

Well that is odd.
You watch the Under 23s, would you say that Jensen looks the best equipped of our young goalkeepers to progress (OK, I know we don't get to see a lot of their games)? I certainly would on what I've seen.

Not seen him at all this season but what I will say about him was I saw him give a goal away at Leeds last season and I can't recall one other error from him that led to a goal.
