Tilley and a.nother are potentially going to be on the bench for Barnet. Hughton normally puts 1-2 Dev squad players in the EFL cup squads.
But as for Watford then effectively you're saying that CH will be replacing in the 18 well one of Murray, Hemed, Gross, Murphy, March, Izquierdo and so on...
It does but if you look at the EFL cup line ups from last year then don't expect more than 1-2 Dev Squad picks. If that.
Against Reading in the 3rd round last year only Rob Hunt got a look in.
Cadman (now gone) , and Tilley made the bench v Oxford in Round 2.
So Goldson, Uwe, Maenpaa, Bong, Skalak, Ince, Towell, Rosenior, Knockaert, Izquierdo etc who aren't first choice, haven't had much game time and/or haven't had a full pre- season should stand down then ?
well we have a bit of an idea:
Many of them will play against adult teams in the U23s/ EFL CUP
The Dev squad train alongside the First team squad which is one of the benefits of Lancing
They obviously play regular competitive football in the u21 leagues/cups and some play youth/international...
