[Albion] Should any of the under 23's get into the squad for the last 3 matches ?

If - and only if - we're safe (by which I mean actually safe, not the 'I-am-a-f**kin'-genius-clairvoyant-and-I-guarantee-we-are-safe-even-though-there-are-still-four-teams-that-can-catch-us' sort of safe) after this weekend I would love to see a couple of the U23s on the bench for the last two matches, with a genuine chance of getting a few minutes on the pitch at the end of he game.
Not to start - the general consensus seems to be that none of them are ready to displace a first-teamer yet; although you never really know if someone can make the step up until they get to try.
If it's still in the balance going into the Citeh and 'Pool games, then sorry lads - wait until next season!

Normally when you take a player on a season long loan you cover the period of play offs aswell just in case.That would rule him out anyway if that is the case.

Correct.

The most curious thing..
It would ruin our goal difference.

Seriously? Really?
You really think if we brought on Gyokeres or Bjordal or Connelly for 5 or 10 minutes at the Etihad or Anfield we'd suddenly concede another three or four goals?
I don't think so..........

so ,no , dont look like he thinks anyone is ready yet..full article here.. https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2018/april/hughton-under-23-work-has-been-outstanding/
I would like to see Manadriou because his free kicks are on point regardless of the opposition and Gykores because he looks the real deal. Its a shame we may not be safe enough to do it in the last few games.

I'd hate to have been your parents at Christmas.
And I’m impressed at your hermaphroditism...
I don't think you can play the DS players against Liverpool and Man City but if we can get safe on Friday against Man United I think you need to consider the fringe players in the last two matches in order to see whether or not they should or could be here next season

If the end of season is over perhaps. He picked James Tilley who was 16 in the last game of the 2014/15 season after safety had been secured a few games back but in 15/16, 16/17 - we had important run-ins to say the least. .
If he needs to , he'll bring the u23s into the squad - 19 year old Max Sanders, captain of the u23s squad, was in the cup squad for Man Utd. Earlier in the season Jayson Molumby was on the bench for Arsenal, Everton and West Ham.
Is probably the right answer.
Possibly one on the bench. Perhaps Cox for Suttner or Bjordal for Solly, but not both.
It really is a massive step up.

Not seen such Bravery!
If we win on Friday, the U23s would do a better job in the remaining fixtures than any partying beach dwellers.
