Johnnyp Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Tough ask this cup for PL teams that field academy's ( not cribbing btw, invaluable experience against senior pros. ) but it's no coincidence the success of academies in this cup has been limited. All about performance for me. You are looking for a few to stand out from the crowd in these type games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I expect we will lose quite a few games at U23 level as well, but if that's the case it won't mean that the way our academy is being run is wrong, it's just what happens when you play very young teams against much older players, Albion do the same, play very young teams and lose a lot of matches, but the experience proves to be the main thing and they produce a lot of good players because of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that's pretty much a win-win for the EFL as far as they're concerned; they get to placate some Premier League suits with giving young talent a go in "competitive" football; but it leaves carrot of a potentially much-needed big day out at Wembley for the lower league teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to lack height in the team which would be handy against these lower league teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hopefully we can do better in the second half but Not uncommon for the academy teams to be defeated heavily, just looking at some scores from last year Accrington Stanley beat Liverpool 5-2, Shrewsbury beat Newcastle 3-0, Bolton beat Man City 3-1... Tonight Oxford are beating Chelsea by two goals, and Accrington Stanley are beating Leeds 5-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team looks too weak you can see the physically factor. Thats why these youngsters don't do well against senior sides Remember liverpools kids vs us last year?
