Thoughts?
It looks very likely that the U23s will struggle a tad for the rest of the season and it will massively impact the development of the best youngsters on the side (Tuanzebe,Goss,Riley,...). Furthermore there's oversupply of talent in the U18s side (we had to bench Chong and Hamilton last game and Barlow didn't even make the squad). It might be a good idea to try to "rebalance" the U23s side on January by sending some players on loan (or even get rid of couple of them permanently) and promote some of the U18s especially attacking players.
For example:
Loan: Willock, Harrop, Riley, Redmond
Promote: Hamilton, Gribbin, Buffonge, Warren
XI:
Whoever
Warren/El-Fitouri - Tuanzebe - Williams - Osolunde
McTominay/Kehinde - Goss
Buffonge - Gribbin - Hamilton
Mitchell
Still not ideal but we can at least play good football with that line-up IMO.
