Guess we'll get to see Nick Powell in action, and Tom Lawrence too
That thing about loanees never playing their own club doesn't apply in U21s football, does it?
I think it does actually. Not too sure though.
Forgot the U21s play this week.That's how shit the schedule is.
Anyway wonder if we'll see Wilson back on this after the substitution yesterday?Pearson and Rothwell better be back asap.

When was the last U21 game? The last one I watched was when Januzaj got a hat-trick at least a month ago.
We played and won against West Ham last Friday. Wilson and Keane got the goals in a 2-1 win and Carrick played an hour in that. We played Spurs before that where we also won 2-1 thanks to goals by Adnan & Thorpe
Could someone PM a link when the game starts?
Same here, looking forward to watching this game
I doubt it to be honest. Youth loans tend to be very informal/flexible. Players can come back and play for there parent clubs at U21 level if I'm not mistaken while still on loan. I'm sure we have had players back and playing in Youth football during loan spells before.
Would be crazy if they had to sit it out, so I hope you're right. Especially because that would mean Powell playing even less football for the Leicester U21s than he would if he'd stayed at United!
Technically speaking, I think he could even play for us tonight if we agreed it with Leicester.
Either way it would be good to see him. Surely there will only be one conclusion if he continues to struggle get games at Leicester.
I thought Lawrence went on a permanent deal? Or am I mistaken?
Powell really hasn't kicked on has he? Should be able to hold down a place in Leicester's first team by that age. To be honest, I never felt he would make it at United - seems a Darron Gibson type player
He's not on a youth loan, he's on a standard season-long loan, and the rules regarding the latter are much less flexible. I'd be surprised if he was eligible for tonight.
Lawrence joined on a permanent deal, but I like keeping track of our former youth players.
And to be fair on Powell, Leicester have a good choice of midfielders, including two of our former academy players, Daniel Drinkwater and Matty James. I agree that he should seen more game time by now, and I hope we recall him from Loan in January is Leicester are not intending to promote him to the 1st team and give him game time
No way Blackett and Thorpe are in the squad
Better for them to get match fitness to be in best condition for weekend no?

But Jones, Evans, Smalling & Rojo are all out against Crystal Palace
At least one of Blackett and McNair will play. Maybe both (I would play both to be honest and Blind+Carrick infront of them).
Yes so they better play in this match to get some match sharpness wouldn't that be the case?The Palace match is 5 days away.We could easily take them out after 60 min or so if we feel worried about their staminas.
Of course i see your point.
But at the minute i just feel we're getting a injured defender in every possible match.
Danny Simpson is playing too for Leicester
Lawrence 
This is going to be a tough match, looks like they are putting out a similar line-up to the one that trounced City. Should be a good test.

Nice to see Harrop back
Am I mis-remembering, or did Vermijl get a fair bit of playing time pre-season?
Has he been fit since then? Odd that he's not been around the first team, given we have one right-back who is always injured.

whats capital A at Pereira's name? asistent of captain? Wilson is usually captain these days or does it mean that he already earned his regular place in the first team so he pplays in u-21 just to get his fitness..
Vermijl didn't go on the tour with the first team.
A for Andreas maybe since there is also Joel.
Imagining it then! Not sure why...Any Rivers about ?
Can't find any
I can't see any on the usual sites. I was really looking forward to this match too.
How long are we playing at the Leigh Sports Village? Facilities look great!
Rothwell on the bench again?Urghh...
Looks like Harrop has taken his spot. We should get him a loan if he isn't going to be starting for us.
More like keep playing Vermjl at this level screwed his chance.Janko should play RB instead IMO.
@vipbox_tv on twitter have posted a link
well why would that be in brackets, and why would anyone assume that goalkeeper is played infield?
The fact that McNair and Adnan aren't in the squad today, but Blackett and Wilson are tells me that both will be starting against Palace. Probably Carrick and McNair at cb, which is fine with me. I think Carrick will be more valuable as a cb this season anyway. James and Tyler will most likely make the bench against Palace. Glad to see Harrop back and great to see Tom and Jack playing today.
