He did. He only missed about 5 u21s matches due to being with the first team, in which time he made 3 appearances. He wasn’t kept in the middle of both for any significant time.
Don't think this is true. Even if he doesn't make our match day squad, he may miss out on the U23 game.
He played a total of 990 minutes in the PL2, worthy of about 11 full games.
He played 2 full matches from January for the reserve team, that is literally nothing. The reserves don't play as often as the first team does, but he missed many games and barely had a look in for the first team.
He played one game for the u18's at the start of the season.
Can't find any injury on Transfermarkt but he started the season playing in U23 it seems, was promoted to the first team and then barely played football from January going on. Was on the bench a few times, out of the squad more times, and got some single sub-ins during the FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
I don't think this approach has worked for one of our youth players in recent years.
