Not seen such Bravery!
Colunga and Chicksen are so far out in the cold that they must be building igloos.

That's a pretty strong looking side. Any idea if the club are streaming the game?

Unfortunately I believe the club are no longer allowed to stream these games as Sky and BT bought the rights to the U21 Premier League matches

Maenpaa, Holla & Manu are all over 21 and I think you can only have 3, so that explains why Crofts can't play. I guess Harper & Hambo still aren't fit enough?
Ince and Forster-Caskey are also 21 or above.
Maenpaa doesn't count though - the keeper is exempt.

Wow, we therefore have a U21 fixture where 5 of the team are over that age! Seems a bit stupid.
JFC isn't over 21, He is 21.
What is the cut off date that requires you to be under 21 ?

On his last warning
Can't they just go back to calling them the reserves?
I see that the original post does state 21 or older so my fault.
However JFC Isnt 22 until next year.
I would imagine the dates are something along the lines of school years, so 1st Sept, I only say this as Cox couldnt play in the Chelsea game at the withdean, but many others could as they were considered the year younger.

Elvis missed a sitter on Saturday.
It crossed my mind to either do that, or just have one added team and have 4 senior teams, First team, Reserves, Under 21's and Youth.
Plus the ladies who are top of the league.

to clarify
"Clubs are only allowed to field three outfield players over the age of 21, plus the goalkeeper is also permitted to be over 21."
So Maenpaa (GK/30) and Holla (27), Manu (22) and Ince (22) are the 3 over age players

JFC isn't 22 until April next year, Solly March is 22 in July 2016.
(Presumably explains why no Crofts in squad who has appeared for u21s recently. Harper and Hambo, i'm assuming, aren't yet fit)

The Premier League rules states that “Under 21 Player” means a Player under the age of 21 as of the 1st January in the year in which the Season concerned commences (i.e. for Season 2015/16 born on or after 1st January 1994);
Jake Forster Caskey still counts as an Under 21 for this season as his birthday is 25th April 1994 (infact he can play for England U21's until completion of the Euro 2017 Under 21 Championship).

It was more a point about pathways to the first team and the academys structure rather than a comment on the merits of any other teams.

Is someone who is 21 and 1 day or more, older than 21, or still 21. Possibly hence under 21's.
